Bateman secured six of eight targets for 80 yards in the Ravens' 22-10 loss to the Dolphins on Thursday night. He also recovered a fumble.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman continued his quick ascent by co-leading the Ravens in receptions and pacing the club in receiving yardage as well. The rookie also alertly pounced on a Marquise Brown fumble to allow Baltimore to keep possession and continues to carve out a larger role by the week. Bateman now has eight targets in back-to-back contests and no fewer than six in any of his four games. A Week 11 road matchup against the Bears a week from Sunday will offer the opportunity for Bateman to up his catch total from that of the prior game for the third straight contest.

Bateman (groin) secured five of eight targets for 52 yards in the Ravens' 34-31 overtime win over the Vikings on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie shed his questionable tag to check in second on the afternoon in receptions and receiving yardage for the Ravens. Bateman's level of involvement over his first three pro games has been encouraging, as factoring in Sunday's eight looks, he's garnered 20 targets overall. Next up for the first-round pick and his Ravens teammates is a Thursday night Week 10 road matchup against the Dolphins.

Bateman (groin) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman missed the first five games of the season with a groin injury, but he has combined for seven catches on 12 targets for 109 yards over his first two games as a pro. Though he didn't practice Friday, coach John Harbaugh indicated afterward that the 2021 first-rounder's latest groin issue was nothing serious and now he'll give it a go Sunday. With Sammy Watkins (thigh) still out, Bateman, Marquise Brown and Devin Duvernay are in line to head the Ravens' Week 9 WR corps, with James Proche, Miles Boykin and Tylan Wallace also on hand.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman was unable to practice Friday due to a groin issue, though coach John Harbaugh said the injury isn't serious.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman was unable to practice Friday due to a groin issue, though coach John Harbaugh said the injury isn't serious, and the wideout still has "a real good chance" to play Sunday.

Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Bateman is dealing with an unspecified physical issue but should be able to play Sunday against the Vikings, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman was absent from Friday's practice due to the issue, but it doesn't appear to be a serious concern. The 21-year-old has seven receptions for 109 yards in two games after spending the first five weeks of the season on injured reserve.

Bateman (undisclosed) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman hasn't been listed on the Ravens' injury report this week, so Friday's update should provide clarity with regard to the reason for his absence. The rookie wideout has played in Baltimore's past two games after coming off IR in advance of Week 6 action.

Bateman caught three of six targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman tied Marquise Brown for the team lead in receiving yards, though Brown found the end zone and drew 14 targets to Bateman's six. Brown and tight end Mark Andrews remain the top two options in Baltimore's passing attack, but Bateman has established himself as the next man in the pecking order just two games into his NFL career. Baltimore's Week 8 bye will give the rookie first-round pick an opportunity to familiarize himself further with the offense.

Bateman (groin) caught four of six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Making his NFL debut after missing the first five weeks due to a groin injury, Bateman tied for the team lead in targets with tight end Mark Andrews, who caught five of his six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown. Baltimore's undoubtedly a run-first offense, as evidenced by the team's trio of rushing touchdowns in this one, but the rookie first-round pick could carve out a prominent role in a passing game that revolved around Andrews and deep threat Marquise Brown in Bateman's absence. He'll face the Bengals in Week 7.

Bateman (groin) is expected to serve as one of the Ravens' three starting receivers in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fresh off being reinstated from injured reserve a day earlier, Bateman, a rookie first-round selection, looks poised to make his NFL debut in a starting role alongside Marquise Brown and Devin Duvernay. One of Bateman and Duvernay will likely lose out on reps with the starters once Sammy Watkins (thigh) is deemed ready to play again.
