The Baltimore Ravens are not quite out of the woods when it comes to impact players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Baltimore has gotten marquee players like Lamar Jackson, Calais Campbell and others back after experiencing a bit of an outbreak just prior to Thanksgiving. However, the team is still having its issues with the virus.
Ravens wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown was among three receivers to land on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday. James Proche and Miles Boykin join Brown on the list.
Brown made one of the biggest plays of the team's win over the Cleveland Browns on Monday.
The second-year wideout had been limited to just one catch for six yards for the majority of the contest. But with the Ravens trailing 35-34 and facing a fourth down with just two minutes remaining, Brown took center stage.
Jackson found Brown over the middle and past the first-down marker. Hollywood made a couple men miss before sprinting into the end zone for the go-ahead score. Cleveland would drive down the field and score to tie the game, but Jackson orchestrated a quick-strike drive to set up a game-winning field goal from Justin Tucker. All told, Brown's touchdown grab put Baltimore in position to win the game.
It has generally been a bit of a frustrating year for Hollywood. The 23-year-old has 43 catches for 605 yards and five touchdowns. Decent numbers, to be sure, but perhaps not the No. 1 receiver kind of production Baltimore was hoping for from the speedster this year.
Still, the Ravens would far prefer to have Brown on the field for this weekend's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
