The Baltimore Ravens have ruled out wide receiver Rashod Bateman for the remainder of Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles because of a knee injury he suffered in the third quarter.

Bateman, 25, was seen limping off the field shortly after the Ravens’ first play. Before he left, he had no destination.

The 2021 first-round pick from Minnesota is enjoying the best season of his young career and has already set new career highs in receiving yards (574) and touchdowns (five). It’s taken longer than expected, but he finally appears to be a solid weapon on offense.

With Bateman out for the remainder of the game, the Ravens’ pass-catching depth decreases significantly. Zay Flowers had a good game with three receptions for 74 yards, but no other wideout made much of an impact. Nelson Agholor, the No. 3 receiver, has no catches on two targets. For an offense that is already struggling to find its footing, especially in the second half, the loss of Bateman is significant.

The Eagles lead 14-12 early in the second quarter as Justin Tucker’s three misses (two field goals and an extra point) continue to haunt the Ravens.
