As we begin the second quarter of the 2022 NFL season, injuries become a bigger part

BALTIMORE RAVENS Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley did not practice Friday, leaving his much-anticipated season debut in doubt.
Coach John Harbaugh said it will be disclosed whether Stanley is playing against the Bengals at 6:50 p.m. Sunday —
when the inactive players are announced. More problematic is the quad injury to cornerback Marcus Peters,
Running back David Montgomery could make his return to the lineup after missing last week’s game with the Giants
and most of the Week 3 game with Houston with an ankle injury, while cornerback Jaylon Johnson is closer to coming back
from a quad injury but is more likely to return on Thursday night when the Bears host Washington.
DETROIT LIONS The Detroit Lions ruled out six players against the New England Patriots in Week 5,
including running back D’Andre Swift and wide receiver DJ Chark. Jamaal Williams leads the NFL with six touchdowns
from a quad injury but is more likely to return on Thursday night when the Bears host Washington.
