Bateman’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. As of Sun, Oct. 18, he was ruled out for the rest of the Week 6 game against Cleveland with a shoulder injury and will not return, per NBC Sports.
Earlier in the week he was limited in Wednesday’s (Oct. 14) practice with the same shoulder, though coach Jesse Minter had said he “should be fine,” per RotoWire via CBS Sports, and he’d cleared the injury report before Sunday. He played through the shoulder in the Oct. 11 win at Atlanta, catching 5 of 6 targets for 62 yards.
With Flowers out in Week 2, Bateman led the Ravens’ receivers against New Orleans with 7 catches for 88 yards and a touchdown on 9 targets, per BaltimoreRavens.com. An ankle injury and a lighter role limited him to 19 catches in 2025.
Fantasy Action: Treat Bateman as a flex option when he carries no injury designation; the shoulder has not cost him a game.
