Rasheen Ali - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Not activated off IR yet Ali was not activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact The Ravens instead chose to call up Chris Collier from the practice squad. Despite Ali practicing in full earlier this week, the team evidently wants to give the rookie fifth-round pick another full week of practice time to ramp up with perhaps an aim of him playing Week 6.

Full practice but still on IR Ali (neck) was a full participant in practice Friday but remains on injured reserve and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Impact Ali's full participation Friday is an encouraging sign in his recovery from a neck injury, but it remains to be seen if the rookie fifth-round pick will be given the green light to make his NFL debut as Baltimore takes on an AFC North rival. The Ravens would have to officially activate Ali from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game for him to be eligible to play. Even if Ali suits up, he's unlikely to play a significant role with Derrick Henry and Justice Hill both thriving in Baltimore's backfield.

Returning to practice Ali (neck) is slated to practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ali remains on IR, but now that he's set to return to the field, his 21-day practice window has opened up ahead of Week 5 action. Assuming no setbacks, once Ali is back on the Ravens' active roster, he'll provide the team with backfield depth behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

Ravens put RB Rasheen Ali on IR, sign LB Josh Ross to active roster before opener against Chiefs

The Baltimore Ravens placed running back Rasheen Ali on injured reserve and signed linebacker Josh Ross to their active roster just hours before they opened the season against the...

Lands on IR Ali (neck) has been placed on IR by the Ravens.

Impact As a result, Ali will miss at least Baltimore's first four regular-season contests. To provide the team with backfield depth for Thursday night's opener against the Chiefs, John Kelly was elevated from the Ravens' practice squad to work behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

Doubtful for Week 1 Ali (neck) is listed as doubtful for Thursday night's season opener against the Chiefs.

Impact With Ali trending toward inactive status Thursday, the Ravens' Week 1 backfield depth behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill is currently taxed. The team does, however, have the option to elevate John Kelly or Chris Collier from the practice squad to address that.

Another limited practice Ali (neck) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Impact Ali will have one more chance to increase his rep count in Wednesday's practice, after which point the Ravens will have to tag him with an injury designation for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Chiefs. The rookie fifth-round pick has cleared the concussion protocol, but he's still working his way back from a stinger sustained during Baltimore's preseason opener.

Limited in practice Monday Ali (neck) was a limited participant in Monday's practice.

Impact Ali is listed with a neck injury on Monday's first official practice report of the season, indicating that he's managed to clear the league's concussion protocol. The rookie fifth-round pick still appears to be managing a stinger sustained during Baltimore's preseason opener, though. He'll have two more opportunities to upgrade his participation level ahead of Thursday's regular-season opener against the Chiefs.

Iffy for Week 1 Coach John Harbaugh noted Monday that Ali is in concussion protocol, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Per Harbaugh, the status of Ali -- who suffered a reported stinger in the Ravens' preseason opener -- is iffy for the team's regular-season opener, Sept. 5 against the Chiefs. With fellow RB Owen Wright having suffered a broken foot Saturday, the Ravens' backfield depth behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill is currently taxed. As a result, it wouldn't be surprising to see Baltimore address the situation before, during or after initial roster cut-downs.

Resumes practicing Ali (neck) returned to practice Tuesday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.comreports.

Impact A stinger had prevented Ali from participating in practice since the Ravens' preseason opener, but the 2024 fifth-rounder's return to the field Tuesday should allow him to resume competing for a depth role in Baltimore's backfield behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. Ali's primary competition on that front is Owen Wright, who originally joined the team as an undrafted free agent last May.

AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Uncertain for roster spot Ali (neck) hasn't practiced since Baltimore's preseason opener and isn't a lock for the 53-man roster, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic.

Impact Ali suffered a stinger in the preseason-opening loss to Philadelphia, after taking 10 carries for 26 yards and one catch for four yards. He then missed Saturday's preseason win over the Falcons, with Owen Wright getting the start at running back in a game that saw the Ravens hold out a slew of veterans players, including Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. Baltimore took Ali in the fifth round of this year's draft, so he could stick around even if the team didn't see what it was hoping for this summer.

Misses practice Sunday Ali did not practice Sunday while dealing wtih an undisclosed injury, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Ravens coach John Harbaugh said following Sunday's practice that Ali sustained a stinger injury during Friday's 16-13 preseason loss to the Eagles. The rookie fifth-round pick posted 10 carries and one catch and returned one kickoff during this preseason opener, so it's unclear when or how this injury occurred. Harbaugh also mentioned that the 23-year-old rookie might be placed in concussion protocol, though he appeared unsure about this and did not delve into any specifics other than saying that the issue was not serious. Either way, Ali will have a little under a week to return to practice before the next preseason game against Atlanta on Saturday.

Makes little impact Friday Ali carried the ball 10 times for 26 yards and caught one of three targets for four yards in Friday's 16-13 preseason loss to the Eagles. He also returned one kickoff for 31 yards.

Impact The Ravens rested their key offensive personnel, including Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, but it was undrafted second-year player Owen Wright who got the start in the backfield and played the entire first half. Ali, a fifth-round pick in the 2024 Draft, took over in the third quarter but managed only 30 scrimmage yards on 11 touches to Wright's 50 yards on eight touches. With Keaton Mitchell (knee) also expected to be ahead of Ali in the pecking order once he's healthy, the rookie would appear to have a lot of work to do to put himself in position to have fantasy value in 2024.

Over biceps injury Ali (biceps) participated in Monday's training camp practice, Ryan Mink and Matt Ryan of the Ravens' official website reports.

Impact Ali was injured at the Senior Bowl leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft but is all systems go for the start of camp in Baltimore. Taken 165th overall out of Marshall, Ali is competing for a roster spot behind the likes of Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell (knee, PUP). Ali figures to see heavy preseason usage this summer.
