Ravens were in shock to find out that Rashod Bateman tested positive for PEDS and would have to sit out 4 games now. Bateman was quoted saying “I only have 16 catches this year obviously I need to fire my dealer and get better ones” Bateman said he will file appeal with the PML Commissioners but is unlikely to be overturned.
Ravens who were already struggling at passing ball lose their #3 weapon and leave the spot open for rookie Noah Thomas the 3rd Selection. In crowded wr room Noah Thomas will have a chance to show what he has and possibility get a starting spot.
“You like to earn your spots on the team its unfortunate what happened but its next man up at end of day and now I get chance to show why I was drafted” Said Thomas. Noah Thomas the former UGA/Texas A&M Standout was one of Coach Bowers favorite prospects going into draft.”I wanted get Noah involved in offense as season went on but just wasn’t room for him, and maybe that’s bad coaching on me but I was high on Noah going into draft process when I saw tape I saw a Tet McMillan, Mike Evans type of prospect an now He’ll have chance to show not just us but whole league why he should’ve been taken in first rd”
All eyes will be on Lamar and Noah chemistry after the bye week when they get to play Tampa Bay.
