No major surprises here as the Ravens remain one of the healthier teams in the league. The biggest absence is DT Broderick Washington, normally a starter off the edge for the Ravens.

It's surprising Hill didn't catch more balls on an afternoon where the Ravens were in a back-and-forth passing affair with the Bengals, but he didn't lose any work to a returning Rasheen Ali. Hill remains a low-upside PPR FLEX heading into an admittedly-plus Week 6 against the Commanders.
Making his NFL debut after coming off injured reserve, fifth-round rookie Ali will try to push Justice Hill for change-of-pace/third-down touches. Inactive for the Ravens are WR Devontez Walker, WR/RS Deonte Harty, OG Andrew Vorhees, C Nick Samac, EDGE Adisa Isaac and S Beau Brade.
Ali opened the year on injured reserve after suffering a neck injury ahead of Week 1. He was a full participant in Friday's practice, suggesting he has a good chance of suiting up this week. His return would give the Ravens another backup option behind Derrick Henry. Guard Andrew Vorhees is listed as questionable but appears likely to play versus the Bengals.
