Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season concludes on Monday night with the Baltimore Ravens traveling cross-country to take on the Las Vegas Raiders.
Both teams enter 2021 with great expectations.
The Ravens, a 2020 playoff team, are looking to improve their results; however, a series of devastating training camp and preseason injuries threaten to undermine them.
As for the Raiders, each season is filled with promise, and the team jumps off to a good start in the first half of the season before slowing down and missing the playoffs.
This has been the norm of the past few years, and the Raiders desperately want to turn the page on that story.

Ravens Ravaged By Injuries
Unfortunately, the headline for this game is about the Ravens and their series of devastating injuries.
It started a few weeks ago with running back J.K. Dobbins tearing his ACL.
Running back Justice Hill was next.
#Ravens RB Justice Hill suffered a potentially serious lower leg injury in practice last week, per @jeffzrebiec. It’s believed to be an Achilles injury, which would likely be season-ending. #Ravens already lost JK Dobbins to a torn ACL.

On Thursday, running back Gus Edwards and cornerback Marcus Peters both suffered injuries that could be season-ending.
They happened on back-to-back plays at practice and caused practice to be cut short.
The #Ravens cut short practice today after CB Marcus Peters and RB Gus Edwards sustained potentially significant knee injuries on back-to-back plays, per me and @MikeGarafolo. The team is having tests done on both players.

The “next man up” mentality is always present in football, but it gets difficult when the ranks become so depleted so quickly.
Who will run the ball for Ravens vs Raiders on MNF!??

The Ravens did sign veteran Le’Veon Bell to the practice squad earlier in the week, and he may be active much sooner than anyone expected given the circumstances.
