Ravens vs Dolphins: Injury Report, Probable Starting 11, and Predictions

This is the game to look forward to in Week 17 as the Baltimore Ravens clash with the Miami Dolphins. Both teams will try to jockey for the top seed position in the AFC, but only one can attain it. However, a lot is hanging by the thread, as injuries litter both camps.

As the penultimate week of the regular season rolls around, injuries are to be expected. But with these top-performing teams and MVP candidates on both sides, it will be fireworks. But how will these injuries affect the starting 11s for both teams?

The Baltimore Ravens are flying high

The Ravens are coming off a brilliant win against the best of the NFC in San Francisco 49ers. Now they have one of the most effective and tantalizing offenses to face in the entire league. But they will be without these players.

CB Jalyn Armour-Davis will have to sit this one out due to concussion protocols. This was to be expected, but 5 others have been designated as questionable for this game. WR Zay Flowers, G Kevin Zeitler, CB Brandon Stephens, S Kyle Hamilton, and LB Del’Shawn Phillips.

With these injuries on board, the Ravens starting 11 could look something like this:

QB: Lamar Jackson

RB: Gus Edwards

WR: Odell Beckham Jr., Rashod Bateman

TE: Isiah Likely

OT: Ronnie Stanley

G: Ben Cleveland

CB: Marlon Humphrey, Rock Ya-Sin

The Miami Dolphins look for the top spot

The Dolphins are also coming after disposing of a tricky NFC opponent in the Dallas Cowboys. A rock-solid defense of the Ravens will meet their fantastic offense. In this highly anticipated matchup, there are several who will miss out.

One of the most significant injuries for the game is WR Jaylen Waddle with an ankle sprain. He is out of the game while OT Robert Hunt is doubtful. CB Jalen Ramsey, CB Xavien Howard, S Jevon Holland, and RB Raheem Mostert are in the questionable category.
