The Ravens will be without their core middle linebacker against the Los Angeles Chargers
We’ve reached the 90-minute pre-game mark for the Ravens and the inactives list has been released. Headlining the unit that will not be on the field tonight is middle linebacker Roquan Smith, who misses his first game as a Raven.
Ravens Inactives
- ILB Roquan Smith
- CB Arthur Maulet
- RB Rasheen Ali
- SS Sanoussi Kane
- C Nick Samac
- OLB David Ojabo
Though Smith will be absent, center Tyler Linderbaum, who was listed as questionable for tonight’s game, is active.
Chargers Inactives
- QB Easton Stick (emergency 3rd QB)
- LB Denzel Perryman
- WR D.J. Chark
- CB Cam Hart
- RB Kimani Vidal
- OL Brenden Jaimes
- OL Jordan McFadden
The big absence for the Chargers tonight on their inactives list is Perryman. Perryman is one of the best pass-rushing inside linebackers in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus, and his versatility will be missed when facing quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry.
