Marcus Davenport’s IR designation leaves Detroit thinner at edge rush. In Week 3 at Baltimore, four Lions are listed as questionable but active—Jack Campbell, D.J. Reed, Kerby Joseph and Taylor Decker—while Mekhi Wingo, Chris Smith, Thomas Harper, Kingsley Eguakun and Craig Reynolds are out. John Morton stressed playing to the lines’ strengths and cleaning up communication, with Tate Ratledge showing steady interior progress as Detroit eyes a sharper, faster run game against a tough Ravens front.

The Packers opener exposed line miscommunications, but Ratledge's recent consistency is a bright sign. If Decker anchors left tackle and the run scheme aligns with personnel, Detroit’s offense can sustain drives and keep Ravens’ attack off balance while the defense attempts to generate pressure without Davenport.

Ravens injury updates loom as Nnamdi Madubuike misses a second straight practice with a neck issue, clouding his Monday night status versus Detroit. Baltimore could lean four DLs and even elevate Brent Urban if needed, tilting the trench battle Detroit guards Mahogany and Ratledge. Rasheen Ali returned to full practice, keeping Keaton Mitchell sidelined for another week. Marlon Humphrey practiced in full; Isaiah Likely is day-to-day as the offense has thrived without him. Lions’ Marcus Davenport sat again, Campbell was limited and Decker again practiced fully.
