When the Baltimore Ravens began the season, they had every reason to believe Rashod Bateman would be their top wide receiver, Mark Andrews a standout tight end — and eventually, J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards might be their best options at running back.
Those four players weren’t able to participate against New Orleans on Monday night. Baltimore won that game anyway and reached the halfway point of the season in first place.
For a second straight season, the Ravens are dealing with some significant injuries, and like last year, they largely overcame them through the first nine weeks.
