After a majority of the Ravens roster endured a large part of the season without a multitude of injuries, starters Michael Oher (knee), Dawan Landry (concussion) and Leron McClain (ankle) each sustain individual ails that prevented them from returning to the game.
The influx of injuries could not come at a worse time for the Ravens squad. The game that everyone is calling the "AFC North showdown" will require a supreme performance by healthy, active player.
Fortunately, these injuries appear to be just scares right now. McClain's status right now is day-to-day but Landry and Oher are expected to play next Sunday night. The league has been much more cautious with concussed players this season so it will be important to monitor Landry's health during the week because he could just as easily be ruled out for safety precautions.
If all three players can start against the fellow (8-3) AFC North division rival Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens dodge a bullet and have a better chance of claiming the top spot in the division.
