The Ravens announced Wednesday that Ferguson passed away at the age of 26.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson was a third-round pick by the Ravens in 2019 following an outstanding collegiate career at Louisiana Tech. In three NFL seasons, all with Baltimore, the linebacker played 38 games and recorded 67 tackles and 4.5 sacks.

Ferguson (illness) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice session, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson missed last week's loss to Pittsburgh due to an illness, but he should be back on the field Sunday against the Browns. He's played mainly on special teams across five appearances this season.

Ferguson (illness) will not play Sunday against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson's absence will be felt more on special teams, where he has contributed on 45 snaps across five games. He'll try to get healthy and return in Week 14 against the Browns.

The Ravens activated Ferguson off the COVID-19 list, and he practiced Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson spent nearly three weeks away from the team after testing positive for the virus on Sept. 24. The 25-year-old played 26 total snaps through the first two games of the season, but it's unclear what his role will be against the Chargers on Sunday.

The Ravens placed Ferguson (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday after a positive test, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson is unlikely to play Sunday as he would need to be asymptomatic and produce back-to-back negative tests 24 hours apart to clear protocols. The 25-year-old has played 26 total snaps through the first two games and has registered two total tackles.

Ferguson (illness) is active for Tuesday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old was questionable due to the illness but will be suiting up for Tuesday's contest. Ferguson could see some snaps in the linebacking corps this week with Matt Judon (ankle) still on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Ferguson (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson was considered a high-risk close contact amid Baltimore's outbreak, but he's now cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols. He figures to have a larger role Tuesday against the Steelers with Matt Judon (ankle) testing positive for the virus.

Ferguson (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson is among the latest batch of players moved to the COVID-19 list from the team's current outbreak. The 24-year-old will be sidelined until he clears the league's virus-related protocols.

Ferguson appeared in 14 regular-season contests with the Ravens in 2019, recording 31 tackles (20 solo), 2.5 sacks, one defended pass and one fumble recovery.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson took some time to acclimate to Baltimore's defensive scheme, but he successfully carved out a rotational role beginning Week 6 and regularly handled 60 percent of snaps on defense per game from that point on. To garner significant IDP consideration for 2020, however, Ferguson will likely need to improve his upside as a pass rusher.

Ferguson recorded four tackles (three solo) and a sack in Sunday's win over the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson enjoyed a career game Sunday, as he posted career-highs in tackles, (four), solo tackles (three) and sacks. He also played a solid 72 percent of defensive snaps, evidencing he's inching his way closer to IDP consideration in his first NFL season. He'll face a sneaky-nice matchup against the Rams on Monday, as they're coming off just a 17 point output last week.
