The Baltimore Ravens enter Week 14 of the 2021 season in need of a win against a key division rival in the Cleveland Browns. Baltimore is coming off of a loss in Week 13 to the Pittsburgh Steelers and currently stand at 8-4.
The Ravens released their inactive list for their Week 14 showdown against Cleveland, and it looks like the offense will need a bit of help. Fullback Patrick Ricard is officially inactive after being downgraded on Saturday with a back/knee injury. Tight end Nick Boyle is also inactive for the second straight week.

Those two offensive players are crucial for the running and blocking game that is normally one of the best in the league but has struggled this season due to all of the injuries that they’ve gone through. It’s going to be interesting to see what the offense does this week without Ricard.
Cornerback Jimmy Smith is inactive again this week even though he was able to give it ago against the Pittsburgh Steelers a week ago. This will mean that the young players like Chris Westry and Kevon Seymour need to step up against a banged up offensive unit for the Browns as well.
Cleveland also announced their inactives, and they will also be without a few key players.
