What happened: Baltimore head coach Jesse Minter announced Friday that outside linebacker Tavius Robinson will miss the remainder of the 2026 season with a pectoral injury, while Jaylinn Hawkins will sit out the upcoming game with a knee injury. Both defenders missed Thursday's practice after carrying questionable designations on the injury report.

Why it matters: The defensive absences arrive ahead of Baltimore's matchup with Cincinnati, one day after the Ravens upgraded Rashod Bateman and Ronnie Stanley to full practice while Lamar Jackson stayed limited. Robinson's season-ending exit removes a fourth-round edge rusher for the rest of the year, and Hawkins' absence sidelines a veteran defensive back who joined Baltimore prior to the preseason opener.

What to watch: Baltimore continues preparation for its upcoming game against the Bengals as quarterback Lamar Jackson works through limited practices following a two-week absence.
