Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been cleared to play in the team’s upcoming Week 10 matchup.
The receiver fully participated in practice on Saturday, Nov. 14, and is no longer listed on the team’s official injury report, according to Yahoo Sports.
Bateman had been dealing with a calf injury earlier in the week, which initially limited his participation during team sessions.
However, he managed to increase his activity level and was a full participant in the final two practices of the week, as reported by USA Today.
The status update provides a boost to the Baltimore offense as they prepare for their next contest.
Despite the positive development regarding his health, Bateman has faced recent challenges on the field.
He has been held to under 35 receiving yards in each of his last four appearances, per the Baltimore Ravens official social media channel.
Analysts suggest that while he should see a handful of targets during the Week 10 game, he remains a depth option for fantasy football managers.
Specifically, experts have noted that he can be considered a No. 5 receiver in most fantasy league formats, the outlets reported.
The return of the wideout to the active roster is a notable development for the Ravens as they navigate the middle portion of their schedule.
The coaching staff will likely monitor his workload closely given the recent calf issue that hindered his preparation earlier in the week.
Fans and fantasy participants alike will look to see if the increased practice participation translates into higher production on the field during Sunday’s action.
With no injury designation remaining, the team is expected to utilize Bateman as part of their standard offensive rotation.
