Ravens Will be Without Two Key Starters on Sunday Against the Bengals

Cincinnati hasn't beaten Baltimore since 2018.

BALTIMORE — The Bengals are hoping to beat the Ravens for the first time since 2018 on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium. 

Baltimore has been bitten by the injury bug for most of the season and they'll be without two more key pieces on Sunday. 

Starting running back Latavius Murray (ankle) and starting wide receiver Sammy Watkins (thigh) are both out. 

Murray is second on the team in rushing yards (212) behind star quarterback Lamar Jackson (392. 

Look for DeVonta Freeman and Le'Veon Bell to get the bulk of the carries for the Ravens.

Meanwhile, Watkins is third on the team in receiving, but leads the Ravens in yards-per-reception (16.2). 

Rookie wide-out Rashod Bateman will likely see more playing time, as will second-year receiver Devin Duvernay. 

Jackson is so explosive that it might not matter, but Murray and Watkins being out is noteworthy.
