Back at practice Thursday Bateman is in full uniform for Thursday's practice.

Impact Bateman didn't take part in either of the Ravens' last two practices, but the team didn't disclose whether his absences were injury-related or part of a planned maintenance plan. Either way, Bateman will be back on the field Thursday, but it's unclear if the Ravens intend to have him suit up in Saturday's preseason opener versus the Eagles. While Bateman projects to head into Week 1 as a starter alongside No. 1 wideout Zay Flowers, rookie third-round pick Ja'Kobi Lane has generated considerable buzz during camp and could be a threat to poach reps in two-receiver sets as the season unfolds.

Heads into Year 6 with Ravens As the coming season approaches, Bateman is projected to start at WR for the Ravens alongside Zay Flowers, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.

Impact Bateman is coming off a 2025 regular season in which his production was hampered by injuries and tapered off to 19 catches on 38 targets for 224 yards and two TDs in 13 games. Assuming improved health this year, the 2021 first-rounder -- who recorded a 45/756/9 receiving line in 2024 -- is a bounce-back candidate in new offensive Coordinator Declan Doyle's attack. Next in line on Baltimore WR depth chart beyond Flowers and Bateman are returnees Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester, as well as rookie draftees Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt.

Absent due to personal matter Bateman (personal) has been away from the team during OTAs the past two weeks, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Bateman was present for the start of the offseason program last month, but he's now tending to a personal matter. "He's dealing with some personal things and so he hasn't been here for a little bit," OC Declan Doyle said Tuesday. "I'm excited for him to get back in here in and keep rolling." Despite a down 2025 season, Bateman is expected to get the first crack at WR2 duties under new OC Doyle.

Participating in OTAs Bateman (illness) is participating in OTAs this week.

Impact Bateman missed the Ravens' Week 18 regular-season finale last season but is back to 100 percent health four-plus months later. After a career year in 2024, which saw Bateman catch 45 passes for 756 yards and nine touchdowns, the receiver missed four games in 2025 and saw his numbers experience a dramatic decline, even when he was healthy. Bateman finished last season with just 19 catches for 224 yards and two touchdowns on 38 targets. After Baltimore did very little to address the wideout position during the offseason, Bateman will again have a chance to handle WR2 duties behind Zay Flowers.
