Proche caught seven passes for 76 yards on eight targets against Cincinnati on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Proche stepped up with Devin Duvernay (ankle) unavailable and enjoyed a breakout game in the process. He otherwise had just a 14-yard reception to his credit in the NFL, though Proche was a productive high-volume receiver at SMU in college. Proche is unlikely to project well outside of the slot and can't match the big-play ability of Duvernay, but a game like this is still a promising data point for the second-year wideout as a fringe prospect. It also supports the notion he might stay involved if Duvernay misses the Ravens' Week 17 game against the Rams.

Proche (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game at Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Proche played only three offensive snaps in Week 9 and is a healthy scratch for Thursday. Tylan Wallace and Miles Boykin will be the depth option at wide receivers for Baltimore.

Proche was held without a catch on one target Sunday against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Proche's playing time fell off a cliff Sunday, playing five offensive snaps after seeing 47 such snaps in Week 5 against the Colts. Marquise Brown, Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay saw the most snaps among Baltimore receivers. It appears Bateman's injection into the lineup could significantly impact Proche's playing time going forward.

Proche caught both of his targets for a total of 15 yards Monday against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Proche's role was scaled back Monday after he broke out in Week 4 with five grabs for 74 yards against the Broncos. Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown fueled the pass-catching production that led to Baltimore's comeback, and targets were few and far between for Proche, who did play a season-high 47 snaps. If Sammy Watkins is limited in Week 6, Proche could see a healthy dose of snaps Sunday against the Chargers.

Proche caught five of six targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
The 2020 sixth-round pick came into Sunday with only two catches in 17 career NFL games, but Proche stepped up as a reliable option for Lamar Jackson in Denver, tying Mark Andrews for the team lead in catches and finishing second to Marquise Brown in receiving yards. Proche is fighting with Devin Duvernay for the No. 3 spot on the Ravens' depth chart, and this performance may have given him the edge heading into a Week 5 tilt against the Colts.

Proche did not draw a target on six offensive snaps Monday against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Proche turned in a strong training camp and preseason to secure a roster spot but did not factor much into Monday's contest. Baltimore leaned on Sammy Watkins, Marquise Brown and Devin Duvernay at receiver for the majority of the game. Proche does not have a clear path to a role as it currently stands. Baltimore hosts Kansas City on Sunday Night Football in Week 2.

Proche caught each of his four targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 37-3 preseason win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Proche put his stamp on the route with an emphatic contested catch in the end zone for a 20-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He's been one of the standouts of Baltimore training camp, but he's still getting most of his work with backups even as the Ravens deal with a number of injuries at wide receiver. Proche still seems more likely to get Week 1 touches on special teams, if at all, but it is possible he gets some snaps on offense, especially if Marquise Brown (hamstring) and/or Sammy Watkins (undisclosed) don't make it back for the opener.

Proche (back) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Proche departed Monday's session early due to back cramps, and he skipped Tuesday's practice entirely, but he now appears healthy. He stands to resume handling increased opportunities in Baltimore's wide receiving corps, which is still operating without Marquise Brown (hamstring), Sammy Watkins (undisclosed), Rashod Bateman (groin) and Miles Boykin (hamstring).

Proche suffered a back injury at Monday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach John Harbaugh said Proche is dealing with cramps, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. After Proche suffered his injury Monday, he remained on the field with a trainer but did not resume handling any reps. The Ravens are already operating without all of Marquise Brown (hamstring), Sammy Watkins (undisclosed) and Rashod Bateman (groin) in their wide receiver corps.

Proche has impressed through the early part of training camp, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year receiver is doing exactly what he needed to in order to secure his roster spot after the Ravens added several wideouts during the offseason. Proche, who recorded just one catch as a rookie, reportedly has been the most productive receiver in practice thus far and is showing reliable hands and an ability to get open. At this rate, Proche should make the team, though he'd likely open the year well down the depth chart.
