Welcome into the lounge presented by Draft Kings. We've taken a look at the film. We've heard from

John Harbaugh on Monday. Now it's time to break down with a little bit more nuance in depth. The Ravens

27 to 24 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. And let's start with the news, Garrett. We heard from

head coach John Harbaugh on Monday,

had some injury updates, the biggest of which Marcus Williams will not be having surgery on

his pectoral injury, which means he should return. The game plan is for him to return this season.

They're not putting him on IR. So they're expecting him back. Just how big a deal is that for the Ravens? Yeah, it's huge. I mean, Marcus Williams is one of the

highest paid players on this team for a reason. He's a difference maker on the back end of the

defense. Now, I will say that Gino Stone, you know, was one of the best defensive players on

the field on Sunday for the Ravens. So he stepped in to that

role that Marcus Williams plays and did an incredible job at it. So I think that you want Marcus

Williams on the field, but I think that, you know, Gino Stone is more than up to the challenge

if the Ravens have to call on him for several games. The question is like, how long is Marcus

Williams going to be out? Because the fact

that they're not putting him on IR, if he goes on IR, he's out for four games. So I would think that

if you're not putting him on IR, you think that you can potentially get him back under that, maybe,

which seems like it would be very quick for, you know, even if he's not having the surgery.

I don't know all the medical stuff going on there, but that seems like it would be quick.

But if you knew he was going to be out at least four games, I would think you just would have put him on IR.

And then use that roster spot elsewhere.

I mean, again, I'm not a doctor.

I don't know. I mean, it seems like once the swelling goes down, he's going to play through this, right? We've seen guys play through kind of pectoral injuries before. Seems to be in large part a pain tolerance thing. We both know that Marcus Williams is a guy with a high pain tolerance. Yeah. You know, played a number of series last year after breaking his wrist.
