Bateman (illness) wasn't present for practice Thursday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman missed Wednesday's session, so the wideout now has just one opportunity to participate in practice ahead of Sunday night's regular-season finale against the Steelers. With the AFC North title on the line, Bateman likely will do anything he can to be available for the contest, but he may need to work fully Friday in order to head into the weekend without an injury designation.
