Injury Report

Per ESPN’s final Week 1 injury report (September 6, 2025), the Ravens are dealing with key absences but have most starters available:

  • FB Patrick Ricard (Knee): Out, ruled out after limited practice; Ben Mason expected to fill in.
  • TE Isaiah Likely (Hamstring): Out, did not practice this week; Charlie Kolar or Mark Andrews to see increased targets.
  • QB Lamar Jackson: No injury designation, full practice, confirmed to play.
  • RB Derrick Henry: No injury designation, full practice, expected to lead the backfield.

Game Outlook

The Ravens face a tough Bills team, who hold a 2-0 playoff edge, including a 27-25 win in last year’s Divisional Round, though Baltimore leads 7-4 in regular-season matchups. The Ravens’ 2024 offense, tops in the NFL (4,035 passing yards, 3,189 rushing yards), will test Buffalo’s revamped defense, featuring Joey Bosa and rookie additions. Without Ricard and Likely, Jackson and Henry will lean on Flowers and Andrews to exploit a Bills secondary missing CB Tre’Davious White (doubtful).

Ravens Flock, get ready for a thrilling primetime opener! Let’s go, Baltimore!

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
