Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton, cornerback Marlon Humphrey and tight end Isaiah Likely are active for Sunday’s home game against the Denver Broncos.
Hamilton (knee) and Likely (ankle) will play after missing last week’s 28-27 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hamilton, who suffered a minor knee against the Carolina Panthers in Week 11, was limited at practice on Wednesday and Thursday before being a full participant on Friday. The former Notre Dame standout was setting the edge when teammate Roquan Smith accidentally kicked him in the knee.
“My knee buckled in,” he said. “It was hurting at first, for sure. … In the moment, yeah, my knee felt like it was on fire. But the next day, I got more news that it wasn’t going to be anything terrible.”
Likely (18 catches for 206 yards and two touchdowns) practiced fully Thursday and Friday despite being limited on Wednesday. He injured his ankle in practice before Baltimore’s game against Carolina.
Hamilton, Likely and Humphrey, who missed practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, were listed as questionable.
Seven Ravens are inactive, including left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and wide receiver Tylan Wallace, who was placed on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury during Thursday’s practice. Stanley will miss his second straight game after injuring his ankle against the Panthers. He did not practice on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday.
Running back Mike Davis, tight end Charlie Kolar, cornerback Pepe Williams and linebackers Josh Bynes, David Ojabo and Del’Shawn Phillips also will not play.
In other moves, the Ravens promoted veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson and safety Ar’Darius Washington from the practice on Saturday. Jackson caught two of his three targets for 74 yards in the loss to Jacksonville, including a 62-yard reception on a go-ahead, fourth-quarter touchdown drive.
Practice squad wide receiver Binjimen Victor was signed to Baltimore’s 53-man roster.
For the Broncos, wide receivers Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and Courtland Sutton (illness) will play on Sunday. The two wideouts have not played together since the Broncos’ win over the Jaguars in Week 8.
Denver reserves safety Anthony Harris, cornerbacks K’Waun Williams (wrist, knee and elbow) and Michael Ojemudia, linebacker Dakota Allen, tight ends Andrew Beck and Albert Okwuegbunam and defensive lineman Jonathan Harris (knee) are also inactive.
