Baltimore Ravens lose starting WR before Pittsburgh Steelers game

Baltimore Ravens lose starting WR before Pittsburgh Steelers game

PITTSBURGH – The Pittsburgh Steelers will travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens in Week 16 as both teams are dealing with injuries. And before kickoff, the Ravens announced the demotion of wide receiver Nelson Agholor, who has now been ruled out.

Agholor had a concussion all week but had the opportunity to be cleared in time for the game. However, after he didn’t practice, the team demoted him from questionable to out and limited him to the wide receiver position.

Agholor has caught 14 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns while starting seven of 14 games this season.

Without Agholor, the Ravens are hoping for better news with fellow wideout Rashod Bateman. Bateman missed the final day of training with a foot injury and was seen wearing a walking boot afterwards. He is listed as questionable and there will be no further news. It is currently assumed that he will be a game decision.

Baltimore has already ruled out Diontae Johnson for the game for personal reasons and released him from the team all week after he returned from a one-game suspension. If Bateman can’t go, the Ravens will turn to Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker at wide receiver alongside Zay Flowers.

The final list of inactives is expected to be published approximately 90 minutes before kick-off.
