Ravens place Ja'Kobi Lane on IR with potential return timeline
Summary

The Baltimore Ravens have placed rookie wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane on injured reserve due to a wrist injury, causing him to miss at least four weeks. This was confirmed by Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, who indicated that Lane is expected to have surgery to aid recovery. Before his injury, Lane had three targets and caught one pass for 11 yards, with a touchdown called back due to a penalty. His absence will be felt as the Ravens face significant injuries in their receiving corps, including Zay Flowers, who may still play in Week 2. Lane could potentially return in time for the Ravens' Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
