3. Ravens’ injury trouble

Baltimore might be cursed. Their injury woes to start this season just keep going from bad to worse.

That’s not a problem for Kansas City. They get to take on a Ravens team that’s far from full strength.

The running back crisis has been well-covered. JK Dobbins went down in the preseason, followed by his backup Gus Edwards and his backup Justice Hill.

That’s not the only area of concern either. Left tackle Ronnie Stanley is dealing with an ankle injury and might miss the game. Wide receiver Marquise Brown has missed two practices with his own ankle problem. Starting left guard Tyre Phillips is on injured reserve.

Starting cornerback Marcus Peters tore his ACL in practice before the season. Fellow starter Marlon Humphrey’s has been limited this week with a back problem. Then on Thursday, cornerback Chris Westry tore his meniscus.
