The Baltimore Ravens received encouraging news in their secondary Thursday, with safety Kyle Hamilton and cornerback Nate Wiggins listed as full participants ahead of Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Hamilton was listed with a hip injury after leaving Baltimore's loss to Jacksonville, while Wiggins was listed with an illness. Their participation provides a positive development for a defense trying to help the Ravens end a four-game losing streak. Baltimore listed three players as limited participants: wide receiver Rashod Bateman with a calf injury, safety Jaylinn Hawkins with a knee injury, and guard Vega Ioane with knee and shoulder injuries. No player on the report was listed as a nonparticipant.
Hamilton's availability remains important to Baltimore's defensive flexibility, while Wiggins gives the secondary another outside cornerback option after missing the Jacksonville game. A full practice designation reflects Thursday's participation rather than a final determination for Monday. The Ravens will continue evaluating players before announcing game designations later in the week. Running back Rasheen Ali, tight end Matthew Hibner and running back Adam Randall participated fully. Ali was listed with an ankle injury, Hibner with a hand injury, and Randall with neck and hamstring injuries.
Randall's designation includes the team's notation identifying a player on injured reserve who has been designated to return. Practicing fully does not, by itself, indicate he has been activated.
Bateman's calf issue bears watching as Jacoby Brissett prepares for his first Ravens start. Hawkins continues working toward a return, while Ioane's participation remains relevant as the offensive line adjusts to personnel additions.
Baltimore enters the matchup at 4-5. Thursday's report offers encouraging signs, particularly on defense, but the remaining practices will help determine who is available when the Ravens host Los Angeles.
