The Baltimore Ravens will be without three defensemen for Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders after ruling out defensive tackle Broderick Washington, linebacker Malik Harrison and cornerback Arthur Maulet. All three players missed practice all week.

Washington (knee), is a solid part of the Ravens’ defensive line rotation, having played 39 percent of the defensive snaps and made four tackles this season. If he can’t go, the Ravens could sign veteran defensive tackle Chris Wormley from the practice squad. Alternatively, they could just go with four defensive linemen for the game.

Harrison (groin), has played 15 percent of the defensive snaps and made 10 tackles this season. He has a nice bit of depth at inside linebacker, a position the Ravens aren’t particularly deep at.

Maulet (knee) has yet to play this season after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery during training camp. He has practiced just once since the Ravens opened his 21-day return window, and at this point his health may be a concern after a soft tissue setback. Last season, the veteran nickelback found a long-term home in Baltimore after recording 37 tackles, five passes defended and an interception.

Additionally, the Ravens listed five players: running back Rasheen Ali (neck), guard Sala Aumavae-Laulu (back), wide receiver/return specialist Deonte Harty (knee), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (ankle) and offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (toe) – as doubtful for Sunday’s match. Of that group, Humphrey, who made a game-changing interception last week, and Stanley, who is playing better than he has in years, would suffer the biggest losses if they can’t go on Sunday.

In better news, wide receiver Rashod Bateman (groin) has no game status listed and should be a full game. The Ravens’ No. 2 has shown growth early in the season, so him staying on the field is only good news for Baltimore.

The Ravens and Commanders kick off Sunday at 1:00 PM ET at M&T Bank Stadium.
