Baltimore Ravens hold tryout for Brandin Cooks amid injury concerns

The Baltimore Ravens are facing significant roster challenges due to multiple injuries to key starters. Wide receiver Zay Flowers is dealing with a hamstring injury and is considered day-to-day, though his participation in practice has been limited. The team is also without rookie starter Ja’Kobi Lane, who is on injured reserve following wrist surgery.

To address the shortage at wide receiver, the Ravens held a tryout for veteran Brandin Cooks. While the team has not yet signed the former first-round pick, league sources indicate he remains high on their list of options.

In addition to offensive concerns, the Ravens' injury report includes several defensive and line players. Defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike is a limited participant as he returns from neck surgery, while edge rusher Trey Hendrickson is managing a finger injury. Other notable absences from practice include left tackle Ronnie Stanley and guard John Simpson.
