Back with team after illness Stephens (illness) has returned to Baltimore after being transported to a Cincinnati hospital Sunday.

Impact Stephens became acutely ill ahead of the Ravens' Week 18 matchup with the Bengals and was forced to remain in Cincinnati for a couple days to receive treatment. The specific details surrounding his condition have not been released, but the cornerback is now back with the team and his status is worth monitoring for Sunday's rematch against the Bengals in the wild-card round.

Impact Stephens has recorded 24 tackles and five passes defended while playing in a reserve role over 13 games this season, but he did play at least 90 percent of defensive snaps in seven games for Baltimore's heavily-injured secondary last season. This experience should make the second-year cornerback the likeliest candidate to start in place of Peters, who could miss additional time while dealing with a mild calf strain. Brandon logged 22 tackles and two passes defended while seeing his most significant playing time over a six-game stretch in 2021, and he should have plenty of opportunities for tackles while facing Atlanta's run-centric offense Saturday.

Leading tackler in loss Stephens logged eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Browns.

Impact Stephens carried a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's matchup, but he didn't appear to be limited by his shoulder injury while leading the Ravens in tackles against Cleveland. He was on the field for 98 percent of the team's defensive snaps Sunday and has now totaled 28 tackles (20 solo) and a pass defense across the last five games.

Questionable for Sunday Stephens (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday against the Browns.

Impact Stephens was able to log a full practice Friday, so he appears headed in the right direction. With the Ravens' secondary full of injuries, they can't really afford to take on any more. If Stephens is unable to play, Geno Stone would likely be looking at a starting job.

Expected to start Thursday Stephens is expected to start Thursday night against the Dolphins, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

Impact The rookie is expected to start at safety replacing DeShon Elliott (pectoral/biceps) who is expected to miss the remainder of the season. In what has been described as a "group effort" to replace Elliott, Stephens will look to build upon his 32 tackles and pass deflection he has to this point in 2021.

High-upside addition to Ravens D The Ravens selected Stephens in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 104th overall.

Impact A former standout running back recruit for UCLA, Stephens transferred and walked on to SMU to prove himself at corner. The SMU pass defense wasn't very good in his two starting seasons and he needs more development at the new position, but Stephens posted toolsy numbers in athletic testing and likely holds a lot of long-term upside for Baltimore. At 6-foot, 213 pounds Stephens is bigger than a lot of safeties, but his 4.44 speed, 38-inch vertical and 127-inch broad jump imply he should be able to stick at corner. Baltimore will hope he's ready to take over when Jimmy Smith is no longer viable.
