The Baltimore Ravens will be without one of their top pass catchers when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 18 on Sunday Night Football.
After missing practice all week with an illness, Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman was downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday’s matchup against Pittsburgh.
Following a breakout season last year in which he recorded 756 yards and nine touchdowns, Bateman has struggled to find similar success in 2025, catching 19 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games this season.

In the Week 14 contest against the Steelers, he recorded just two receptions for 23 yards.
Fortunately for Pittsburgh, no players are carrying injury designations into the Week 18 showdown with Baltimore, with multiple formerly injured Steelers, including T.J. Watt and James Pierre, set to return this Sunday.
