Ravens face flu challenge ahead of pivotal Patriots matchup
As the Baltimore Ravens gear up for what could be the defining moment of their season against the New England Patriots, they find themselves navigating a small hurdle. Head coach John Harbaugh addressed the media, revealing that a flu bug has made its way through the team, temporarily sidelining defensive tackle John Jenkins during practice.
Jenkins’ status remains optimistic
Despite the setback, Harbaugh remains confident that Jenkins will be ready to take the field come game day. “That’s illness related,” Harbaugh noted. “Yeah, I think he should be okay by game day. He caught a little flu bug that was going around, and they found him.”
The Ravens are in a race against time to ensure all players are healthy and ready to compete in their critical matchup. With Jenkins’ potential absence, the team will need to rely on their depth and resilience as they prepare to face one of the league’s most formidable opponents.
