Matthews (thigh) reverted to injured reserve Monday, per the league's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Correcting a previous report, Matthews was actually waived/injured by the Ravens on Friday -- opposed to simply being released -- and now reverts to IR after clearing waivers. Barring an injury settlement, he'll likely stay there for the remainder of the season.

The Ravens released Matthews (thigh) on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Baltimore's decision to release Matthews suggests Mike Wallace (concussion) and Jeremy Maclin (shoulder) aren't in any danger of missing Sunday's game in Tennessee. The 6-foot-5 wideout caught three of six targets for 25 yards in six games with the Ravens this season. Matthews had 109 receiving yards in Super Bowl XLIX while playing for Seattle, but he's averaged just 8.0 yards in 22 career regular-season games.

Matthews (thigh) wasn't present for the start of the Ravens' practice Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews looks destined to go down as a nonparticipant in practice for the second straight day, putting his status on murky ground heading into the Week 9 matchup with the Titans. In the six games he's played this season, Matthews has held a minimal role in the Ravens' passing game, hauling in three of six targets for 25 yards.

Matthews (thigh) is inactive for Thursday's showdown with the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
The reserve wideout will miss his second straight contest due to a thigh injury. Primarily a special teams performer, the Ravens offense shouldn't suffer too many setbacks with Matthews in street clothes Thursday night.

Matthews (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Part of an injury-ridden wideout group, Matthews might've been asked to take on a major role if he were available for Thursday's game. Alas, neither he nor Michael Campanaro (shoulder) is expected to play. Jeremy Maclin (shoulder), Mike Wallace (concussion) and Breshad Perriman (concussion) are all questionable.

Matthews (hamstring) was held out of practice Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun reporrts.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews was omitted from the injury report Monday after he was able to take part in the Ravens' team walkthrough, but his lack of involvement in Tuesday's session suggests he may not be completely over the hamstring issue just yet. The injury prevented Matthews from playing in the Week 7 loss to the Vikings, making him one of three Ravens receivers to sit out the contest.

Matthews (thigh) was not listed on team's injury report Monday.
EDGE Analysis
With the top four receivers on the Ravens' depth chart nursing injuries on a short week before Thursday's matchup against the Dolphins, Matthews could be potentially be in line for an increased role with the offense, should he not suffer an setbacks with his thigh injury.

Matthews (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews was given a doubtful designation after the thigh injury limited him at Thursday's practice and sidelined him Friday, so it's not surprising he was ultimately held out. Though listed as a receiver on the depth chart, Matthews has logged nearly twice as many snaps on special teams (114) as offense (59) this season, a reality that effectively keeps him off the fantasy radar.

Matthews (thigh) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews was added to the Ravens' injury report Thursday due to the thigh issue, and it doesn't look as though his limited involvement in practice the last two days will be enough to guarantee him an active status for Week 6. Primarily a special-teams contributor for the Ravens, a healthy Matthews might have been in store for his largest offensive snap count of the season Sunday, as the Ravens' top three options on the depth chart at receiver -- Mike Wallace (back), Jeremy Maclin (shoulder) and Breshad Perriman (concussion) -- could all be sidelined for the contest. Alas, it appears Matthews will have to wait until at least the Week 8 matchup with the Dolphins to get back on the field.
