Proche (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's preseason game versus Washington, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The bad news for Proche is that this means he'll miss the entire preseason - he's been sitting out since Aug. 9 with a soft-tissue injury of some sort. The good news for Proche is that the Ravens still don't have many plus options at wide receiver behind Rashod Bateman, so he will likely have a healthy role in the offense once he returns anyways.

Proche (undisclosed) still isn't practicing but caught balls from a JUGS machine Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Proche has been touted as one of the Ravens' standout performers through two weeks of training camp, but he's been out since Aug. 9 with an unspecified soft-tissue injury. While likely to miss a third straight preseason game this weekend, Proche seems to at least be eyeing a return to practice in the near future. The missed time could hurt his bid for a Week 1 starting job, though the Ravens still don't have great alternatives beyond Rashod Bateman. Behind Bateman, Devin Duvernay and Proche are the best bets for snaps and targets early in the season.

Coach John Harbaugh said Proche wasn't available for Thursday's preseason game against the Titans due to a soft-tissue injury that will sideline the wide receiver 1-to-2 weeks, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. "It's not going to be too long," Harbaugh added.

EDGE Analysis

If the given timetable surpasses the two-week mark, Proche could be in danger of missing the Ravens' final two exhibitions on Sunday, Aug. 21 in Arizona and Saturday, Aug. 27 against the Commanders. In a Ravens receiving corps with few proven commodities outside of tight end Mark Andrews, Proche seems poised to miss out on opportunities to make his mark during a key time of the NFL calendar. Tylan Wallace picked up a knee injury Thursday, while the team held out its presumed top two wideouts Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay, who both recently missed time with health concerns. If Proche gets healthy sooner than later, he again will be able to push for depth chart slotting.

Proche (undisclosed) won't play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Titans, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Proche didn't practice Tuesday, but we suspect that he would have sat this one out in any case, with the Ravens resting multiple key players Thursday, including fellow wideouts Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay. In that context, added reps will be available for the likes of Tylan Wallace, Jaylon Moore and Binjimen Victor, among others.

Proche didn't practice Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The absence puts his status in doubt for Thursday's preseason game against Tennessee, though it's possible Proche had already earned the right to sit that one out along with a number of Baltimore starters. He and Devin Duvernay have been getting most of the first-team reps alongside Rashod Bateman in training camp, with reports from multiple Baltimore beat writers pinpointing Proche as one of the stars of camp. Duvernay is approximately the same size, significantly faster and was drafted three rounds earlier than Proche in 2020, but the latter seems to be making a much stronger impression at camp -- in part because Duvernay missed about a week with a thigh bruise. WR usage will be one of the key things to watch with Baltimore this preseason once the team gives its starters some run (likely the second and/or third game(s)).

Proche has been one of the standouts from the first two weeks of Ravens training camp, building chemistry with QB Lamar Jackson, Ryan Mink of BaltimoreRavens.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic agrees that Proche has been one of the team's most consistent players, catching passes at "pretty much every area of the field" while running precise routes. It's perhaps a bit of a surprise to hear the 2020 sixth-round pick is having success downfield, considering he ran a 4.63 40-yard dash coming out of SMU, where he was mostly a high-volume possession receiver. Regardless of the exact role, Proche has a nice opportunity entering Year 3, after the Ravens traded away Marquise Brown without acquiring a potential replacement. Receiver jobs are open for the taking behind 2021 first-round pick Rashod Bateman, with Proche and Devin Duvernay considered the favorites for starting jobs. Duvernay missed a bunch of practice time with a thigh bruise recently, giving Proche more chances, but both now seem to be healthy as the Ravens prepare to begin the preseason.

Proche faces added significance to his offseason work this year after the trade of Marquise Brown, Jeff Zrebiec of the Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Ravens have yet to make a splash in the wideout market after trading Brown to the Cardinals in exchange for the 23rd overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, suggesting the team has confidence in the group of young pass catchers already on the roster. Along with Devin Duvernay and Tylan Wallace, Proche appears to have an opportunity to solidify a decent role ahead of the 2022 campaign with his performances during OTAs and other offseason workouts. However, Baltimore also brought in six undrafted rookie free agents that'll also be competing for snaps behind Rashod Bateman, whose role as the de facto No. 1 appears set in stone.

Proche finished the season with 16 catches for 202 yards on 20 targets.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year wideout moved into a larger role within the offense after playing a mere 25 offensive snaps as a rookie and recording one reception. Proche showed the skills that made him effective in college, running sharp routes and demonstrating good hands by catching 80 percent of his targets and dropping zero passes. Baltimore will likely go into next season with Marquise Brown, Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay as its top three receivers and Proche will have a chance to slot in as the No.4. However, 2021 draft pick Tylan Wallace could improve and Baltimore could opt to mine for more receiving depth through free agency and the draft.

Proche (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Steelers, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Proche was also inactive in Week 17 against the Rams. With the Ravens' wide receiver unit healthy, Proche will be the odd man out Sunday against the Steelers.

Proche (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Proche's placement on the inactive list is somewhat surprising after he enjoyed a career day in last week's loss to the Bengals, with the second-year wideout hauling in seven of eight targets for 76 yards. Baltimore's decision to hold out Proche and Miles Boykin is likely a sign that the team is more confident in the conditioning of Sammy Watkins, who was limited to just three snaps on offense last week in his return from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Meanwhile, rookie Tylan Wallace has been a core contributor on the Ravens' special-teams units this season and has picked up more involvement in the offensive game plan in recent weeks, so he'll suit up as the No. 5 receiver while Proche and Boykin are in street clothes.
