Isaiah Likely Out For Week 1

By Jared Smola | Updated on Fri, Sep 5 2025 8:29 PM UTC

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (foot) is out for Sunday night's game vs. the Bills. He didn't practice all week but has avoided a trip to IR. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported earlier this week that Likely "should be ready early in the season." We're currently projecting Likely to return in Week 3 but will continue to monitor his progress. His absence in the opener should mean a boost in playing time and targets for TE Mark Andrews.
