RASHOD BATEMAN NEWS

Finds end zone Bateman recorded three catches on four targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 win over Dallas.

Impact Bateman tied with Zay Flowers to lead the team in targets, and the duo put up remarkably similar numbers. Bateman ultimately was on the better end of things thanks to a 13-yard touchdown reception just before halftime after settling into a wide open area of Dallas' zone defense. Bateman has not topped five targets in a game this season, so even if Baltimore is forced to take to the air more, Bateman does not have significant volume secured.

Makes three grabs Sunday Bateman had three catches for 40 yards on four targets Sunday against the Raiders.

Impact There are positive indicators for Bateman's performance through two games. He has played over 80 percent of the snaps in each game and has drawn at least four targets in each outing. Bateman is up to seven catches for 93 yards on the year, good for a 10.3 YPT mark. Baltimore has the sixth-most pass attempts in the league through two weeks and with Bateman's snap share, he could start to capitalize on his opportunities soon. The Ravens host the Cowboys in Week 3.

Lightly used Thursday night Bateman caught two passes for 53 yards on five targets in Thursday's loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Bateman was on the field for 84 percent of the snaps Thursday but finished fourth on the team in targets. The Ravens threw an uncharacteristic 41 times, something that won't happen too often this season in all likelihood, and he still could not draw Lamar Jackson's attention. Bateman being fourth in line for targets is a disappointing start for those believing in a breakout from him this season. However, the Ravens have a more favorable matchup in Week 2 with the Raiders going to Baltimore.

Back on the field Bateman (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bateman, who exited last Monday's practice, didn't play in Friday's preseason opener, but now the wideout is back on the field, he'll have an opportunity to cement his key role in the Ravens' passing attack alongside fellow starting WR Zay Flowers. Assuming he can stay healthy, the 2021 first-rounder could be poised for a breakout effort in 2024 while working as one of QB Lamar Jackson's primary targets.

Expected to be back soon Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Sunday that he expects Bateman to return from an undisclosed injury soon, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Bateman appeared to sustain an injury to his midsection during practice last Monday and did not play in Friday's 16-13 preseason loss to the Eagles. Harbaugh said Tuesday that he issue was nothing serious, and it's unlikely that he would have played Friday even if he was healthy, as the rest of Baltimore's first-team offense did not suit up either. Bateman missed 12 regular-season games with a foot injury during his sophomore 2022 campaign, but he missed just one game last season and caught 32 passes for 367 yards and one touchdown across 16 regular-season games.

Practice exit downplayed Coach John Harbaugh noted Tuesday that the unspecified issue which caused Bateman to exit Monday's practice early is nothing serious, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Zrebiec relays that Bateman landed on the ball during Monday's session, which explains why the wideout appeared to be holding his ribs/midsection afterward. In any case, Bateman isn't expected to miss much time and his status for Friday's preseason opener against the Eagles could well hinge on the team's plans regarding whether starters will or won't play in the contest.

Exits practice Monday Bateman appeared to injure his midsection during Monday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Per Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun, Bateman walked off with a trainer while appearing to hold his midsection or ribs and then didn't finish Monday's session. For now, consider Bateman day-to-day as Friday's preseason game against the Eagles approaches.

Back in action Bateman (undisclosed) returned to practice Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact An unspecified issue caused Bateman to exit Monday's practice early, but his return to the field Wednesday aligns with coach John Harbaugh's previous assessment that the wideout wasn't dealing with anything major. As the 2024 campaign approaches, Bateman has a chance to see an uptick in production in his fourth year as a pro while working as one of Lamar Jackson's top targets alongside 2023 first-round WR Zay Flowers and star TE Mark Andrews.

Not practicing Bateman (undisclosed) isn't practicing Tuesday, Bo Smolka of Press Box reports.

Impact Bateman will miss at least one practice after taking a hard hit to the torso Monday. Coach John Harbaugh downplayed the severity of the issue and suggested it's nothing more than soreness, which means Bateman should be back at practice quickly. The Ravens have hinted that he could take over as their No. 2 wide receiver all offseason, and it seems Bateman's still on track for that role ahead of 31-year-old Nelson Agholor and 2024 fourth-round pick Devontez Walker.

Monday's practice exit downplayed Coach John Harbaugh indicated that the unspecified issue that forced Bateman out of Monday's practice early is nothing serious, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Per Zrebiec, it looked like Bateman absorbed a hit in the rib/stomach area prior to his exit Monday, but Harbaugh described the wideout's issue as just soreness. With that in mind, consider Bateman, who's poised to play a key role in Baltimore's pass-catching game this season, day-to-day.
