Proche played 25 offensive snaps as a rookie for the Ravens, recording one catch for 14 yards on three targets. He added 198 yards on punt returns.

EDGE Analysis

The SMU product did not crack the receiver rotation in his first season with the Ravens. Marquise Brown, Mark Andrews and Willie Snead combined for 60 percent of the targets, while players like Miles Boykin, Devin Duvernay and late-season addition Dez Bryant saw modest roles in the passing game. As a sixth-round pick with below-average athletic measurables, it's not entirely surprising that Proche was lightly used as a rookie. His 2020 season should be considered more of an incomplete grade than an outright disappointment. If Willie Snead is not retained, Proche could have a path to slot snaps in 2021. He did catch 111 passes and 15 touchdowns in his last collegiate season.

Proche (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie sixth-rounder will sit out for the first time this season with Chris Moore (hand) back in the lineup. Through 14 games, Proche has mainly contributed in the return game. Either Marquise Brown or Willie Snead will fill in on punt returns in Proche's place.

The Ravens activated Proche (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Proche will return from the COVID-19 list before actually being forced to miss any time. Count on the rookie sixth-round pick to serve as Baltimore's top punt returner versus the Jaguars on Sunday.

Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Proche is "on track" to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Proche was considered a close contact to an infected person. As long as he continues to test negative, he'll be available for Sunday's game. Proche rarely contributes on offense, but he's the team's top punt returner. Through 13 games, Proche has averaged 8.3 yards per return (12th in the league).

Coach John Harbaugh stated that Proche has been identified as a close contact to someone who tested positive for COVID-19, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Proche won't be available to practice with the team Thursday after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the sixth-round rookie is expected to be available Week 15 if he continues to test negative. The SMU product collected the first catch of his NFL career Week 11 against the Titans, but he remains without a reception over his other 12 appearances on the season.

The Ravens placed Proche on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Proche was placed on the list due to coming into close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. Per coach John Harbaugh, Proche still could play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars despite not practicing this week if they continue to test positive in the coming days, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. Along with Proche, the team also placed receivers Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin on the list Wednesday.

Proche caught his lone target for 14 yards and returned one punt for seven yards during Sunday's loss to the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie sixth-round pick recorded the first catch of his NFL career during the third quarter, which was his only offensive snap of the contest. Proche's only consistent role for the Ravens in handling punt-return duties.

Proche is the favorite to take over as the team's primary returner following De'Anthony Thomas' decision to opt out of the 2020 season, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie out of SMU still has his work cut out for him in terms of making an impact on offense, but Proche will likely get the chance to contribute on special teams right away. Proche logged 50 punt returns in college and averaged a career-best 9.6 yards per return in 2019. However, Proche (4.63 40-yard dash) lacks standout speed, so it's not a lock that he'll remain the team's returner all season.

The Ravens selected Proche in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 201st overall.

EDGE Analysis

Proche was a highly productive player at SMU who adds sure hands to the Ravens' receiver room. He tied for the FBS lead in receptions in 2019 with 111 on 170 targets, and he turned 15 of those catches into touchdowns. Proche showed that he can get open against good competition at the Senior Bowl, but a lackluster combine sent his stock tumbling. He has a small frame at 5-foot-10 and 201 pounds and he posted bottom percentile scores in the agility drills, which bodes poorly for his ability to separate in short areas if he's working out of the slot as expected. Still, Proche has good hands and plays with a chip on his shoulder. Baltimore's current depth chart at receiver suggests that Proche won't be much of an impact player in 2020 at the very least, however.
