The Baltimore Ravens are expected to get rookie wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane back in the lineup Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, with the wrist-injured pass catcher completing a full practice week and tracking toward activation off injured reserve.
Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN): Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) is 'good to go' after a full practice slate this week, per source, which should facilitate his activation off Injured Reserve for Sunday vs. Cleveland.
Lane, who underwent wrist surgery four weeks ago, impressed during training camp and was poised for a significant role in Baltimore's offense before the injury sidelined him. A full practice slate this week signals he is ready to contribute immediately.
The timing is notable for a Ravens offense that has been inconsistent through the first six weeks. Lane's return adds a dynamic element on the perimeter and in the slot — he was one of the more polished route runners in Baltimore's camp and had quickly built chemistry with the quarterbacks before the injury.
Lane is not the only reinforcement the Ravens are getting. The team's practice report this week also showed progress on the offensive line and at tight end as Baltimore looks to snap a two-game skid against a division rival.
