Ravens Activate WR Rashod Bateman From Injury List
The Baltimore Ravens officially reinstated receiver Rashod Bateman from the did not report list on Sunday, according to ESPN. The Ravens placed their 2021 first-round pick on the did not report list on Friday but he has been activated just in time for training camp.
Baltimore General Manager Eric DeCosta told ESPN on Friday that the Ravens "expect him" to show up in time for the start of camp on Wednesday, and Bateman did just that.
Bateman has been dealing with a foot injury this offseason and got a cortisone shot in June to help remedy him in time for camp. The former Minnesota Golden Gopher had Lisfranc surgery in 2022 after only appearing in six games last fall.
"Ravens reinstated and activated WR Rashod Bateman from the reserve/did not report list." -- Adam Schefter via Twitter.
Injuries have plagued the Ravens' receiving corps in recent years and Bateman is no stranger to the injury bug. He has only appeared in 19 games in two seasons. Since being drafted, Bateman has caught 61 receptions for 800 receiving yards and three touchdown receptions.
The Ravens revamped their receiver room this offseason by signing Odell Beckham Jr. via free agency and drafting Zay Flowers with the No. 22 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. If Baltimore's wideouts can stay on the field and everyone gels with quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Ravens could have one of the best receiver units in the league.
