Andy Reid's Gameday Decisions
Andy Reid has announced the inactives for the Baltimore Ravens as they face off against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season. Five rookies have been highlighted as inactive, posing potential challenges for the Ravens.
Ravens' Inactive Rookies
- FS Beau Brade
- CB T.J. Tampa
- OLB Adisa Isaac
- C Nick Samac
- G Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu
Beau Brade, a local Maryland product, was a notable story during the roster cuts but fellow rookie safety Sanoussi Kane will make his debut at Arrowhead Stadium. Additionally, Devontez Walker, a fourth-round pick, will not play due to injuries incurred during training camp.
Nick Samac is expected to backup Tyler Linderbaum, though the veteran Patrick Mekari is also prepared to step in if necessary. Meanwhile, third-round pick Adisa Isaac has been ruled out with a hamstring issue.
Rasheen Ali, a fifth-round running back, was placed on injured reserve just before the game, further complicating the Raven's lineup.
Remaining Rookies on the Field
The Ravens' roster still includes promising first-round cornerback Nate Wiggins, second-round right tackle Roger Rosengarten, and rookie safety Sanoussi Kane, who is set to make his professional debut. In addition, linebacker Josh Ross has been elevated to the 53-man roster, and cornerback Ka'dar Hollman has been activated from the practice squad.
With Brent Urban scratched, the defensive line will consist of Nnamdi Madubuike, Michael Pierce, Travis Jones, and Broderick Washington. It will be crucial for Andy Reid to leverage the experienced players effectively to secure a victory against the Chiefs.
