Ingram (calf) didn't practice Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not surprising that the Ravens proceeded cautiously with Ingram, given that they have a first-round playoff bye. Look for the running back to return to the field in some capacity next week, as the team begins its preparations for a Jan. 11 divisional-round contest versus a yet-to-be determined opponent.

Ingram (calf) did not practice Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Ravens did not have much reason to put Ingram out there Tuesday with a day off Wednesday and over a week until their next game, so it's difficult to read too much into the absence. Ingram was able to do some running drills Monday, and if he practices at some point before this week comes to a close, that will be a good sign for his chances of returning to action in the divisional round.

Coach John Harbaugh said Ingram (calf) looked good during a running workout Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Ingram suffered the injury Week 16 and was held out Week 17, with the Ravens hoping a bye can help him avoid any additional missed time. The team has a practice scheduled for Tuesday, and it isn't clear if Ingram will be ready to participate. Baltimore's next game will be played Jan. 11 against the Texans, Bills or Titans.

Ingram (calf) indicated Thursday that he's confident he'll be ready to play in the Ravens' playoff opener, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per the report, the running back was "initially concerned because he heard a little pop in the back of his calf," but it now appears as though Ingram avoided a serious injury and he'll now aim to play following the first-round playoff bye that his team earned. With Ingram out Sunday against the Steelers, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill are slated to head the Ravens' Week 17 rushing attack.

Coach John Harbaugh officially ruled Ingram (calf) out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
According to Harbaugh, the MRI that Ingram underwent Monday revealed a "mild-to-moderate calf strain," so the Ravens won't take any chances with their top running back in a meaningless regular-season finale. With Ingram idle Week 17, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill should share the load at running back, with the latter projecting as the greater pass-catching threat of the two. Since the Ravens have secured the AFC's top overall seed in the postseason, Harbaugh said he's hopeful Ingram will be ready to play in Baltimore's playoff opener in the divisional round after having two full weeks off to recover, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic.

Ingram, who strained his left calf in Sunday's 31-15 win over the Browns, is expected to sit out the Ravens' Week 17 matchup with the Steelers before potentially returning for Baltimore's first playoff game, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Ravens secured the AFC's No. 1 overall seed in the postseason with Sunday's victory, so Ingram may have been in store for inactive status or at least a limited workload in a mostly meaningless regular-season finale even if the injury hadn't intervened. Ingram's calf strain now makes it an even easier decision for the Ravens to withhold him from Week 17 action, but don't expect coach John Harbaugh to offer confirmation on the running back's status until after the results of his MRI are available. Assuming Ingram in fact is out until the Ravens' divisional-round game, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill will headline the team's ground attack.

Ingram, who suffered a calf strain in Sunday's 31-15 win over the Browns, was sporting a walking boot on his left leg after the game and is slated to undergo an MRI, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
On the plus side, coach John Harbaugh relayed with regard to the running back's calf injury that "there's no kind of structural issues or anything like that. His calf was cramping. We'll just have to see (Monday) to what degree, to what extent that means." Harbaugh's words offer hope that Ingram's issue isn't a serious one, but with the Ravens having clinched the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed, it's not hard to imagine the team resting several key players in Week 17, especially those who are banged up, like Ingram. If he doesn't play this coming weekend against the Steelers, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill would head up Baltimore's backfield in the team's regular-season finale.

Ingram suffered a calf strain in Sunday's 31-15 win over the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Ravens having clinched the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed, the team can afford to proceed cautiously with Ingram in advance of next weekend's game against the Steelers. If he ends up out or limited in that contest, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill would be candidates for added touches Week 17.

Coach John Harbaugh doesn't believe that the calf injury Ingram suffered Sunday involves any structural issues, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
More about the running back's injury should come to light Monday, but keep in mind that the Ravens have clinched the No. 1 playoff seed in the AFC, so there's a possibility that the team could rest or limit key players like Ingram next weekend against the Steelers, in any case.

Ingram (calf) was forced out of Sunday's game against the Browns with a calf injury.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his exit, Ingram carried eight times for 55 yards and caught two passes for 36 yards and a TD. In his absence, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill are next up for touches out of the Baltimore backfield.
