Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley was a full participant in Friday’s practice and is considered questionable for Sunday’s AFC wild-card-round game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
With starter Lamar Jackson (knee) ruled out again, Huntley is in line to lead the sixth-seeded Ravens’ offense in the playoff opener. He sat out Sunday’s loss to the third-seeded Bengals after tendinitis in his right (throwing) shoulder limited him in practice last week. Huntley resumed throwing Thursday and was active again Friday.
Coach John Harbaugh declined on Friday to say who would start Sunday’s rematch against the Bengals, but Huntley said his shoulder was close to 90% healthy. If he’s not available in Cincinnati, undrafted rookie Anthony Brown would make his second straight start.
“Lamar has done a great job working hard, and Tyler has worked super hard to get back, and has got back on the practice field this week, as you saw,” Harbaugh said after practice Friday. “So we’ll see where he’s at, but I’m excited for that maybe paying off for him. Maybe he can be out there. We’ll see.”
Cornerback Brandon Stephens, who missed the week of practice after being hospitalized with an acute illness Sunday, was ruled out of the playoff game along with wide receiver Tylan Wallace (hamstring).
Cornerback Marcus Peters (calf), who hasn’t played since Week 15, is expected to play after participating fully in Thursday’s practice. Harbaugh said Peters had a good week of practice.
Running back Gus Edwards, who was knocked out of Sunday’s loss and placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol, said after practice Friday that he’d been cleared to play this weekend.
“I feel great,” he said. “I’m motivated, energized and just ready to prove a point.”
The Bengals, meanwhile, ruled out starting right guard Alex Cappa (ankle). Starting wide receiver Tee Higgins (illness) and starting cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt, who missed time in practice this week, weren’t listed on Friday’s injury report and are expected to play.
