Baltimore Ravens

Lamar Jackson left the Ravens’ Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and hasn’t practiced since.

“We are not upholding the standard right now, so we deserve all the criticism,” Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman said Wednesday. Can they turn things around against the Rams?

“It has to be better,” coach John Harbaugh said Monday of the Ravens’ pass rush, which ranks tied for 29th in the NFL with six sacks.

The Ravens will face the Los Angeles Rams at 1 p.m. Sunday in Baltimore. Here are game predictions from The Banner’s sports staff.

Ricard has not played this year.

Five weeks in, the Ravens have given up the second-most yards in the league. They’re bad against the run. They’re bad at rushing the passer. And they’re bad in the secondary.

Here’s a look at where we thought the Baltimore Ravens would be and their sudden new reality.

How much will Alohi Gilman and C.J. Gardner-Johnson play against the Rams?

“Everybody knows offense and defense, but they don’t understand how vital that third phase is, until either something really good happens or something really bad happens,” safety Sanoussi Kane says.

Lamar Jackson hasn’t practiced since leaving the Ravens’ Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury.

Gilman, who hails from Laie, Hawaii, briefly lived in Annapolis when he played for the Naval Academy in 2016, his first year of college.

Here are the winners and losers after a busy day for Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta, who traded away Odafe Oweh in exchange for safety Alohi Gilman.

Oweh had no sacks through five games for the Ravens and was getting a career-low 45% of the team’s defensive snaps.

“His iconic fandom and service for others inspired our community in immeasurable ways,” the team said in statement.

Rather than flying back to the West Coast after their game in Baltimore, the Rams will stick around, practicing at Oriole Park, before a trip across the pond.

Baltimore has just six sacks as a team.

The Ravens will be the third stop for C.J. Gardner-Johnson, 27, over the past seven months.

John Harbaugh said the Ravens would know more about the potential availability of injured players later this week.

“I thought our defense played really, really hard — really hard,” John Harbaugh said Monday. “And there were some big mistakes. There were some mistakes that some young guys made that hurt us against a good offense."
