The Ravens were firing on all cylinders on Monday, just three days before their season opener against the Chiefs. The excitement in the air was thicker than a Super Bowl Sunday tailgate party.
The First Injury Report of the Season
Every NFL squad must give the fans what they want: the lowdown on who’s ready to rumble and who’s sidelined. This season’s first injury report for the Ravens was practically a clean slate. Rookie outside linebacker Adisa Isaac (hamstring) was the sole absentee from practice—talk about moving the chains smoothly!
Meanwhile, running back Rasheen Ali (neck) was a limited participant, but fans are keeping their fingers crossed that he’ll be dodging defenders like a matador soon.
Pro Bowl Center’s Triumphant Return
And then, the moment that had everyone buzzing like bees around a honeycomb: Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum ditched his non-contact jersey. For the first time since his neck injury, he practiced in full force on Sunday. This warrior was so good that come Monday, he wasn’t even on the practice report. Picture a linebacker staring down an empty field; that’s Linderbaum, ready to conquer.
The Chiefs’ Lineup
Not all sunshine and touchdowns on the other side of the ball, the Chiefs listed nine players on their practice report. Yet, the optimistic twist? Eight of them were full participants. Unfortunately, star receiver Hollywood Brown (shoulder) didn’t practice. One could say their ship has a slight leak, but it’s far from sinking.
In Baltimore, the Ravens are ready to spread their wings, and the Chiefs are sharpening their tomahawks. As the countdown to the opening game ticks away, both teams prepare to bring the fire and fury that only NFL football can ignite. Buckle up, folks—it’s going to be an electrifying season!
