The Baltimore Ravens are currently gearing up for their upcoming home game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday evening. The NFL schedule makers are surely regretting subjecting a national audience to this game, as both the Ravens and Chargers are coming into this one riding lengthy losing streaks.
Now, the Ravens have made an interesting roster move with just days to go until the matchup.
“Ravens officially have signed K Riley Patterson to their 53-man roster and K Harrison Mevis to their practice squad,” reported NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN on X, formerly Twitter.
The move comes amid the prolonged injury absence of starting kicker Tyler Loop, who is currently on the injured reserve with a groin injury.
Meanwhile, this game will also mark the Ravens debut of quarterback Jacoby Brissett, after the team acquired him from the Arizona Cardinals earlier this month. The Ravens are desperately hoping that Brissett is able to keep their offense above water as they await positive injury updates on Lamar Jackson, who is currently out of the lineup with a thumb issue.
The Ravens have lost four straight games, the last three of which have come in blowout fashion, and are fully behind the eight-ball in the AFC playoff race as the season passes its midway point.
Meanwhile, the Chargers come into this game with a shocking record of 0-8, having most recently been blown out by the Houston Texans this past weekend at home.
In any case, kickoff between the Ravens and Chargers is set for Monday evening at 8:15 pm ET from Baltimore. The game is set to be carried by ESPN.
