Ravens rule out WR Rashod Bateman (illness) for Sunday’s showdown at Pittsburgh for the division

By Canadian Press on January 3, 2026.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens have ruled out receiver Rashod Bateman for Sunday night’s game at Pittsburgh that will decide the AFC North title.

Bateman hadn’t practiced this week because of an illness. The Ravens had listed him as questionable Friday. There was no update Saturday on cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who also missed Friday’s practice with an illness.

The winner Sunday takes the division, and the loser misses the playoffs.

Bateman has had just 19 catches for 224 yards this season in 13 games, down from 45 catches and a career-high 756 yards in 2024.

Baltimore also announced Saturday that it has signed long snapper Nick Moore to a four-year contract extension.
