Ravens Rule Out All-Pro Defender Before Week 4 Clash vs Titans

The Baltimore Ravens ruled out a star defensive player for Sunday's AFC matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

The Baltimore Ravens announced on Friday that All-Pro pass rusher Trey Hendrickson will miss their Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans. Hendrickson underwent a procedure on his finger following an injury sustained during the season-opening victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Team head coach Jesse Minter expects Hendrickson to be out for only a short period, noting that the injury is minor and he anticipates a quick return.

Hendrickson, who signed a four-year, $112 million contract with the Ravens, spent the previous season recovering from a core muscle injury that sidelined him for 10 games. This latest setback may have presented an opportune moment to allow Hendrickson to recuperate ahead of the upcoming matchup against the Titans, who have struggled with their offensive performance ranking 31st in total offense.

The Ravens have since bolstered their roster with the addition of Maxx Crosby, filling the void left by Hendrickson's absence. Ronnie Stanley, another key player, was expected to return after missing last week's game due to a toe injury, and key players Lamar Jackson and Zay Flowers were both full participants in recent practices, signaling a strong likelihood of their presence in the Week 4 game.

The Ravens will take on the Titans at M&T Bank Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
