Bengals vs Ravens injury report and starting lineup - October 24 | NFL 2021-22 Season
The AFC North clash between the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals will have consequences come January. The Ravens are 5-1, and the Bengals are 4-2. Both teams are playoff hopefuls and Super Bowl hopefuls in the Ravens' case.
Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson are two of the best young quarterbacks across the entire NFL. Their back-and-forth action won't disappoint, especially since they have stud wide receivers Marquise Brown and Ja'Marr Chase to throw to.
But the defense is just as good as the offense in the case of both teams. Injuries are one factor that can change everything ahead of a football game, however.

Cincinnati Bengals
Oh and the Bengals are completely healthy and have zero starters even questionable...
Something we truly haven't been able to say in years, Bengals will a clean injury report and a full squad for the first time in a division game in the ZT era twitter.com/JakeSirkus/sta…
The Bengals are going to be healthier than ever during a divisional game under Zac Taylor. The only two players questionable are backups Jalen Davis and Tyler Shelvin. The Bengals are hiding a hot streak and have a strong chance of winning this game. That's in large part thanks to being healthy across their starting lineup.
Baltimore Ravens
Here are the Ravens' key season-ending injuries:
OT Ronnie Stanley
CB Marcus Peters
RB J.K. Dobbins
RB Gus Edwards
RB Justice Hill
LB L.J. Fort
These players totaled 2,872 snaps last season.
The Ravens are somehow 5-1 this season.
The Ravens have refused to let injuries be an excuse for their team this season. But they will be without two starters who play the majority of snaps on offense, Sammy Watkins and Latavius Murray. Their questionable list includes essential players, most notably middle linebacker Patrick Queen.
Alejandro Villanueva and Bradley Bozeman are both starters, so the Ravens will hope they can have both of them. Tavon Young is also an essential player due to the loss of Marcus Peters before the season.
