There are concerns about the field conditions at Maracana Stadium, with the NFL confirming work was needed to get it up to the league's standards by Sunday afternoon.

Cowboys and Ravens prepare for showdown in Brazil

The Baltimore Ravens face a challenging week as they prepare to travel to Brazil for an upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys. Unfortunately, the team's injury report didn't bring any significant improvements this week. Receiver Zay Flowers and tackle Ronnie Stanley were among the players who did not participate in practice on Wednesday, along with edge rusher Trey Hendrickson.

The Ravens' recent 24-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints highlights the impact of injuries on their performance, with quarterback Lamar Jackson expressing frustration over the team's overall lack of cohesion. The upcoming trip to Rio de Janeiro is set to be a long flight, with no significant time change, but the team is preparing to overcome the fatigue from the journey.

Coach Jesse Minter emphasized the importance of recovering from the travel and focusing on the fundamentals of the game during the short preparation window before the match.
