BALTIMORE — The Ravens and Bengals will likely be without a valuable target in the passing game when they meet Thursday night.
The Ravens ruled out tight end Isaiah Likely, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, while the Bengals listed wide receiver Tee Higgins as doubtful after he didn’t practice all week with a quadriceps injury. Higgins has missed Cincinnati’s last two games due to the injury.
Likely Baltimore’s No. 2 tight end, he is fifth on the team with 24 receptions for 271 yards and three touchdowns.
Higgins, who is Cincinnati’s No. 2 wide receiver, has caught 29 passes for 341 yards and three touchdowns this season. In his last two games with Baltimore, Higgins has totaled 17 receptions for 172 yards and four touchdowns.
The Ravens also listed running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) as questionable and would need to activate him off the physically unable to play list on Thursday in order for him to play.
The Ravens (6-3) beat the Bengals (4-5) last month, 41-38 in overtime.
