Ravens to be Without Two Key Starters for Upcoming Bengals Match.

The Baltimore Ravens will face a slight disadvantage in their upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals, as left guard Andrew Vorhees and wide receiver/return specialist Deonte Harty have been declared inactive. Both athletes were marked as questionable in the final injury report.

Vorhees, a seventh-round selection from USC in 2023, will be sidelined for the second consecutive game due to an ankle injury. The former All-American missed his entire rookie season while recovering from a torn ACL but secured the starting left guard position at the beginning of this season. In his first three games, he has proven to be a relatively reliable presence on the offensive line, though not particularly outstanding. In the previous week’s matchup against the Buffalo Bills, the Ravens shifted Patrick Mekari to take over Vorhees' role at left guard and assigned second-round rookie Roger Rosengarten to start at right tackle. This strategy yielded positive results, so it is anticipated that they will adopt the same approach on Sunday. Harty will be unavailable for the first time this season, although he has frequently appeared on the injury report. The free agent acquisition from Buffalo has participated in only six offensive snaps this season, primarily focusing on punt returns and some kickoffs. In Harty's absence, players such as Justice Hill and Tylan Wallace are expected to assume return responsibilities. The remaining inactives consist entirely of rookies, which is not surprising. The most notable among them is outside linebacker Adisa Isaac, who made his NFL debut last week and recorded three total tackles. Baltimore has elevated recent free agent signing Yannick Ngakoue from the practice squad for this game, likely contributing to Isaac's inactive status. Kickoff at Paycor Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
