Baltimore Ravens Week 13 updates: injuries, quotes, and statistical notes

The Baltimore Ravens lost to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night by a score of 32-14. Here are the latest updates coming out of Week 13:

The Ravens had two notable injuries on Sunday. Cornerback Nate Wiggins suffered a foot injury that is “not serious,” according to head coach John Harbaugh. Any absence from the 2024 first-round pick would be a substantial blow to Baltimore’s secondary. After a solid rookie year, he has put together a breakout campaign in 2025 with 47 tackles, three interceptions, two tackles for loss, and nine passes defended. The first three numbers are already career-highs, and Wiggins should still have a shot at topping his 13 passes defended from last season.

The Ravens have a few options without Wiggins. Since the bye week, the Ravens have moved Kyle Hamilton into a hybrid Star/nickel role. That has moved Marlon Humphrey to the outside for the Ravens’ base and nickel packages, though he still mans the slot in dime looks. Now, he could line up on the boundary full-time with Keyon Martin filling his nickel snaps. Alternatively, Baltimore could keep Humphrey in his hybrid role and use second-year corner T.J. Tampa to serve as the No. 3 cornerback in nickel and dime looks.

Linebacker Chandler Martin reportedly suffered a torn ACL that is expected to sideline him for the rest of the season. He was elevated from the practice squad for the last three weeks to replace fellow undrafted rookie Jay Higgins, who is on injured reserve after his Week 9 knee injury.

Second-year safety Sanoussi Kane is the clearest special teams replacement for Martin. He appeared in the Ravens’ first six games this year with 140 snaps on special teams after playing 325 ST snaps as a rookie. Kane was waived and re-signed to the practice squad during the bye week and has yet to be elevated to the game day roster.

John Harbaugh on QB Lamar Jackson: “Lamar is great. I have no complaints. He’s our guy, and I have full trust in him. Football is a way of life. Sometimes bad things happen. We learn to rebound, grow, learn, and not long ago, we were 1-5. We’re 6-6. We’re going to be all right. We just have to keep fighting, keep clawing, keep being humble, being thankful, and I’m certainly thankful for him.”

John Harbaugh on the Ravens’ five turnovers: “Those are controllables. Those are things that we can control, and I think that’s the beauty of it. We’ll just go back and focus on ourselves, focus on taking care of that ball, and good things will happen.”

Jackson on his turnovers: “I just have to play consistently. I can’t have turnovers, especially in any game – not just this game, but in any game – I can’t have turnovers. Two fumbles and the interception – the tipped interception. We have to be consistent. We’re putting our defense on the field too much. I can’t have that.”

Jackson on finding consistency: “Just be me; be Lamar. That’s all.”

CB Chidobe Awuzie on CB Nate Wiggins leaving the game: “It hurts a lot. Nate is one of the guys that just brings the energy. We all kind of rally behind him, especially when he gets it going. He can definitely turn up the whole team, so we’re definitely going to be praying for him for a speedy recovery. Hopefully, it’s not too serious, and he’s back on the field soon.”

S Kyle Hamilton on Jackson’s struggles against the Bengals: “It’s one of those days that you have, and defense had a lot of those days early in the year. We aren’t pointing the finger at anybody, not pointing the finger at Lamar, not pointing the finger at whoever it may be – skill guys, O-line, whatever it may be. We’re all one family. We have to roll with the punches and get through the lows and the highs at the same time…

Hamilton on Jackson’s performance in practice vs. games: “He is on point and on time in practice, and it just doesn’t go that way sometimes in the game. But he’s a competitor, and he’s one of the best. Two-time MVP for a reason, so even LeBron [James] has an off night.”

Hamilton on the importance of the Ravens’ Week 14 matchup with the Steelers: “Objectively, a lot rides on this game coming up and pretty much every game, including this one, from here on out. They remember what you do in December, so December’s coming up. We have a big December, and yes, I think we have the guys to do it. We have the mentality to do it. It’s just a matter of doing it.”

WR DeAndre Hopkins on the offense’s struggles: “I go out there and run routes, the routes I am told to run. I really can’t get into what we lacked tonight, but I do know, whenever you lose the turnover margin the way we did tonight, your odds really aren’t good. And this Bengals team really capitalized on it.”

Hopkins on making his 1,000th career reception: “It means a lot. 1,000 catches, to me, means being reliable. It means your quarterback can depend on you. And I think for me, doing it with the number of quarterbacks that I have done it with, it says something about how I was brought up. Being a patient person, just grinding.”

On the conversations with coaches this week leading up to playing in his first NFL game: “Honestly, [I was] just trying to focus on the process. Coach ‘Harbs’ [head coach John Harbugh] and [the other coaches], they have us on a strict process and just trying to do their best to keep us focused. There’s a lot of outside noise, especially how we started this season, and I’m just focused on getting out there with the guys. There’s not really much talk about it. [They didn’t say], ‘Oh, you’re playing this week,’ and stuff like that. I’m just kind of preparing every week as if I’m going to be playing.”

OT Ronnie Stanley on the Ravens’ run game: “I thought the run game, especially early on, got going. We got Derrick going, and he rushed for a touchdown early on. I think we just have to keep it going and keep the momentum going, and we make sure that’s our identity, and we have to make it work.”

Stanley on players suggesting ideas for offensive plays: “Yes, that’s definitely part of it is the collaboration part. Wanting to get back to the run – that’s something that we encourage the coaches to do when we come back to the sideline. But we’re still going to go out there and run whatever play is called.”

OL Emery Jones on how making his NFL debut: “It felt really good to get out there with the guys and show what I can do, display my talent a little bit [and] show that I can help the team a little bit…Honestly, I’m just happy for the opportunity. There’s been a lot of work put into it, a lot of time that I had to wait to get healthy, and honestly, I’m just happy for the opportunity to get out there and help the guys.”

• Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins made his 1,000th (and 1,0001st) career catch on Sunday. He started the season with the third-most receptions among active players, but Davante Adams has surpassed him with 48 to Hopkins’ 17 so far this season.

• Rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones made his NFL debut on Thursday with 16 snaps at left guard. He did not allow a single pressure in nine pass-blocking opportunities but committed a holding penalty late in the third quarter. He could see more time rotating in for Andrew Vorhees in the coming weeks.
