Baltimore Ravens Week 14 Injury Report
The Baltimore Ravens and the Miami Dolphins will be facing off in the most important game of the season to this point on Sunday. Although it’s slated to be played in Week 14 of the regular season, this game has all the implications of a playoff matchup.
Both teams are 7-5 and in a tie with several other teams for the second wild card in the AFC. With that being said, no one wants to lose any ground, and no one wants to lose any tiebreakers.
Let’s take a look at which players will not be participating in this vital game, and which players fighting injuries will be.
Justin Forsett is QUESTIONABLE
The big name listed on this week’s injury report comes at running back, where starter Justin Forsett has been listed as questionable with a knee injury. The signs have pointed to him participating in Sunday’s game, so I think that’s what we should expect.
If he were to miss this game, that would be a huge blow for the Ravens. Forsett is fourth in the league in rushing yards, and he would be going up against the 20th-ranked rushing defense of the Miami Dolphins. “I’m just resting up, regular soreness,” Forsett said. “Especially coming to this end of December I’m trying to take care of the body and take care of the little nicks and knacks I’ve gotten.”

Backup wide receiver Michael Campanaro is also listed as questionable. He has not played since Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals when he suffered a hamstring injury.
Probable: WR Torrey Smith, C Jeremy Zuttah, MLB C.J. Mosley, WR Marlon Brown
A lot of big names were listed as probable for the Ravens, most noticeably wide receiver Torrey Smith. Much like Forsett, Smith has told reporters that he is not looking to miss Sunday’s game against Miami. “The only way I’m not going to play is if I need crutches,” Smith said. “I’m good to go. We’ll see what happens.”
As for the other guys on that list, C.J. Mosley and Jeremy Zuttah should both be expected to participate in this game.
Marlon Brown’s status shouldn’t be totally clear at this point, however. He left last week’s game against the Chargers after suffering a concussion in the second quarter, but he was a full participant in Thursday’s and Friday’s practices.
TE Phillip Supernaw and CB Asa Jackson moved to active roster
Tight end Phillip Supernaw played in three games for the Ravens this year and was on the practice squad before this move was made. However, after backup tight end Crockett Gilmore suffered a back injury in last week’s game, Supernaw has been activated to the 53-man roster.
He will play in Week 14, but cornerback Asa Jackson’s status is still up in the air. He was just activated off the injured reserve-designated to return list earlier today, and should play in Sunday’s game. However, due to the lack of practice, he might not.
As for the Dolphins, wide receivers Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline have been listed as probable, while tight end Charles Clay is questionable.
