[Greenbacks]

Ravens coach John Harbaugh on lack of buzz for the "Monday Night Football" game between Baltimore and Cleveland: "We're not sitting there, saying, 'I wonder what everybody thinks about us.' We're not like in seventh grade here, (saying), 'What are they texting about us? What does Snapchat say?'"

TE Donnell, Justin Pugh and C Richburg did not travel to Washington. LB Herzlich's status has been upgraded from out to questionable

With Case Keenum recovering from a concussion, Rams QB Nick Foles now expected to start Sunday vs Bengals, per league source.

 

[Greenbacks]

Ravens starting LT Eugene Monroe (shoulder) and LG Kelechi Osemele (knee) both doubtful. Monroe has only played three full games this season. Given that C Jeremy Zuttah (pectoral) is on IR, Ravens will start three backup offensive linemen.

 

[Greenbacks]

With Harrison Smith out on Sunday against the Falcons, the Vikings will give second-year safety Antone Exum his first career start, according to a league source. The Vikings have had high hopes for the converted cornerback, who should give them a better option in coverage than Robert Blanton. Smith's injury doesn't figure to be a long-term ailment, but if Exum performs well on Sunday, he might have a chance to eventually unseat Andrew Sendejo.

WR Rishard Matthews was a late addition to Dolphins' injury report this afternoon. He became ill and is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
