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.

Lane could potentially return in time for the Ravens' Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
