Increasing activity level Likely (foot) was in uniform and was doing a workout in front of members of the Ravens athletic training and medical staffs Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Zrebiec adds that Likely has "definitely upped his activity level," but at this stage it doesn't look like the tight end will be available Sunday against the Browns. In the event that he's officially ruled out later Friday, Likely would then presumably target a potential return to game action Sept. 22 against the Lions.

Ravens-Browns matchup in Week 2 brings Super Bowl-winning QB Joe Flacco back to Baltimore

Joe Flacco is set to play in Baltimore for the first time since Lamar Jackson replaced him as the Ravens' starter in 2018

Still yet to practice this season Likely (foot) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Likely has yet to practice since having surgery to repair a fracture in his foot which he suffered in late July. He's trending toward a second consecutive absence to begin the 2025 campaign. Mark Andrews failed to capitalize on Likely's absence in Week 1, posting only one catch for five yards against the Bills, but Andrews looks set to work as the clear top option among Baltimore's tight ends again when the Ravens host the Browns in Week 2.

Not practicing yet Likely (foot) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Per Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site, Likely did work out on a side field again Wednesday, as he continues ramping things up as he bounces back from a broken foot he sustained early in training camp. If Likely remains sidelined Sunday against the Browns, Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar would continue to lead Baltimore's TE corps, with Zaire Mitchell-Paden a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad, as he was Week 1.

Won't play Sunday night Likely (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday night's season opener against the Bills.

Impact Likely didn't practice this week, so it's not a surprise that he'll be sidelined versus Buffalo. As for the tight end's status beyond Week 1, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com noted that Likely was running on a side field Friday, which is a positive sign relative to his chances of returning in the next couple of weeks. As long as Likely remains sidelined, however, fellow TE Mark Andrews figures to be busy, with Charlie Kolar also mixing in at the position.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Likely (foot) isn't practicing Friday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact That said, Shaffer notes that Likely appears to be ramping things up, with the tight end spotted doing some on-field work Friday with trainers that included light running, but not much hard cutting. Look for Likely to be ruled out for Week 1 action later Friday, but in that scenario the tight end's absence may not linger too long beyond the Ravens' regular-season opener against the Bills.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out another practice Likely (foot) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Likely hasn't been able to practice in any fashion since undergoing surgery on his left foot Aug. 1, and while the Ravens have yet to officially rule him out for Week 1, the 25-year-old looks like a longshot to be available. With Likely expected to be inactive for Sunday's season opener in Buffalo, Charlie Kolar should be in line to see an enhanced role behind No. 1 tight end Mark Andrews.

Misses another practice Likely (foot) is not practicing Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Likely has yet to resume practicing since undergoing surgery to address a small fracture in his left foot suffered late July, and though the Ravens still anticipate him returning early in the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that he isn't expected to suit up Sunday night on the road against Buffalo. Still, Baltimore's decision not to place Likely on short-term IR, which would rule him out the first four games of the year, is a strong indication that he remains on track to return in September. For at least Week 1, however, Charlie Kolar projects to work as the No. 2 tight end behind Mark Andrews.

Still expected to return early Likely (foot) is not expected to suit up for his targeted return date of Week 1, on the road against Buffalo on Sunday, but his recovery is proceeding on track and the Ravens still...

Impact Likely dodged IR to begin the regular season, confirming that Baltimore expects him to miss less than four games before he retakes the field. For at least Week 1, though, Mark Andrews appears in line to handle increased reps as the Ravens' clear top tight end, while Charlie Kolar steps into an expanded backup role. New No. 3 receiver DeAndre Hopkins will also figure to benefit from a slight uptick in target opportunities as long as Likely remains sidelined. Likely didn't practice Monday, but if he can return as at least a limited participant ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener, suiting up Week 2 against the Browns may be in play.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Sunday Likely (foot) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener on the road against Buffalo, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Likely, who is recovering from surgery undergone late July to address a small fracture in his left foot, was a non-participant at Monday's practice and does not appear on track to play Week 1. His official injury designation for Week 1 will be disclosed Friday, but at this stage it won't be surprising if he sits out Wednesday's practice as well.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Monday Likely (foot) didn't participate in Monday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hensley previously noted that GM Eric DeCosta said that the Ravens expect Likely -- who suffered a small fracture in his foot in late July -- "back in the early part of the season." It remains to be seen whether a Week 1 return could be in play, but added context regarding Likely's status will be provided no later than Wednesday, when Baltimore's first official practice/injury report of the season is posted.

Ravens make Kyle Hamilton the NFL's highest-paid safety with a 4-year, $100.4 million extension

The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to a four-year, $100.4 million extension with star safety Kyle Hamilton

AUGUST 27, 2025 • Associated Press

Expected back early in season Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said Wednesday that he expects Likely (foot) "back in the early part of the season," Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact DeCosta specifically mentioned that Baltimore's decision not to place Likely on IR during roster cuts Tuesday is indicative of the team's expectations that he'll miss less than the requisite four games such a transaction would require. It remains to be seen, though, whether Likely has a chance to suit up Week 1 against Buffalo as he works his way back from surgery undergone late July to address a fracture in his left foot. Baltimore's pass-catchers across the board could see a slight uptick in targets if Likely misses any time, with the primary beneficiaries being starting tight end Mark Andrews and No. 3 man Charlie Kolar, as well as No. 3 wideout DeAndre Hopkins.
