Both the Ravens and Chiefs are entering Week 1 in about as perfect of health as they could ask for.
The final injury report released on Wednesday and both the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs are in excellent standing. However, at least one player will miss the game from both sides.
For the Ravens, rookie outside linebacker Adisa Isaac has been ruled out as he recovers from a hamstring injury he suffered in his first and only preseason game. Similarly, rookie running back Rasheen Ali has been listed as doubtful for Thursday’s game as he recovers from a stinger injury he sustained in the Ravens’ first preseason exhibition.
The Chiefs enter the game with 52 of their 53 rostered players healthy. The lone exception being former Ravens first-round pick wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, who suffered a shoulder injury on his first snap of the preseason. It was expected at the time he wouldn’t play in Week 1, but there was an outside chance he may recover in time. That hasn’t been the case as the Chiefs officially ruled him out on Wednesday.
The oddsmakers over at FanDuel Sportsbook already have taken into account the absence of Brown and the line remains Ravens +3. In fact, injuries (or lack thereof) haven’t moved the line from the past few days as they remain Ravens +3, Ravens Moneyline being +128 and the Over/Under standing pat at 46.5.
