The Baltimore Ravens are facing a potential setback as tight end Isaiah Likely is expected to miss the start of the upcoming season due to an ankle injury sustained during practice. Coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Likely rolled his ankle and will be sidelined for a few weeks pending MRI results, which will provide further insight into the extent of the injury. This loss could impact the Ravens' offensive strategy, particularly in the passing game, as they rely heavily on their tight ends.

With Likely out, the team may look to other tight ends and passing options to step up in his absence. The Ravens have a history of utilizing their tight ends effectively, and this could open opportunities for players looking to make a mark during the preseason. Fantasy owners should monitor this situation closely, as it will affect not only Likely's draft value but also the potential targets for other players in the Ravens' offense.
