We are just one day away from the Buffalo Bills back in action and back on primetime, as they head down to Baltimore for an AFC clash with the Ravens. Coming in at 3-0, the Bills are looking to continue their dominance that they have displayed the last three weeks. On the other side, the Ravens squeaked out their first win of the season last week after almost blowing a lead to the Dallas Cowboys.
The Bills are heading into this game with almost the same injury report that they had last week in Week 3. Cornerback Taron Johnson and linebacker Terrel Bernard were ruled out once again, but there is promise that they will make their return soon. The only addition to the Bills’ injury report is offensive lineman Tylan Grable, who was placed on IR from an injury he sustained against the Jaguars.
Other than those three, the Bills are all ready to go. Now it will just be a waiting game to see who will dress and who will be declared inactive. When it comes to the Ravens, they are facing some injuries as well but may have more of a disadvantage in a key spot on the offense.
The Ravens’ offensive line injuries could heavily benefit Buffalo’s defensive line
According to the Ravens’ injury report, center Tyler Linderbaum is dealing with a knee injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game. While Linderbaum was listed as a full participant on Friday, he will still be evaluated before the inactive list comes out. Baltimore is also facing a potential loss with Andrew Vorhees who did not practice at all this week due to an ankle injury.

According to Chris Brown, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told the media that Vorhees will be a game time decision for Sunday night.
Buffalo’s defense has racked up 11 sacks this season, but only one of those sacks coming from Ed Oliver on the inside. The rest have come from the edge rushers. If Linderbaum and/or Vorhees are not able to go, the Buffalo defensive line that utilizes a heavy rotation could apply tons of pressure on Lamar Jackson in the pocket to help out the secondary.
Another factor to consider is that with Derrick Henry in Baltimore’s backfield, Buffalo would also have the advantage to stuff the run and make Baltimore’s passing game the reason why they get any kind of production on offense.
The final inactive list comes out 90 minutes before kickoff and Bills fans will need to keep an eye on Baltimore’s injury report leading up to it tomorrow night.
