Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Rashod Bateman says his foot is 99% healthy
According to team reporter Ryan Mink, Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman says his foot feels 99% healthy heading into the season.
Fantasy Impact
Bateman is returning from a Lisfranc injury for which he received offseason surgery, holding his sophomore season to just six games. Hopes are that the former Minnesota Gopher is healthy this season, but he has stronger target competition than in the past. The Ravens added WR Odell Beckham Jr. and rookie Zay Flowers, and they still have TE Mark Andrews. Bateman is the lowest-drafted WR of Baltimore’s trio at half-PPR WR52.

Cole Kmet leaves practice on cart
Cole Kmet left Wednesday’s practice early on a cart.
Fantasy Impact
The injury is unclear at the moment, but Kmet was able to walk to the cart on his own power. More information should come sooner than later, but this is a situation worth monitoring. Robert Tonyan would likely take over as the starting tight end if Kmet misses time.

Mark Andrews is dealing with something that “isn’t serious”, according to John Harbaugh.

There isn’t more information as to what he is dealing with, but whatever it is it seems to be minor. This could be a situation worth monitoring if he is forced to sit out a few days in a row.
