Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely is expected to miss the season-opening game at the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night as he recovers from a broken bone in his foot, NFL Network reported on Wednesday.
Likely was injured on July 29, underwent surgery and did not practice for the rest of training camp. He was injured in a non-contact play during position drills while going one-on-one against safety Sanoussi Kane.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh had said the next day that he expected Likely to miss a few weeks of camp. The first full injury report of the season will be issued by 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Mark Andrews is listed as the starter on the depth chart, followed by Likely and Charlie Kolar.
Likely played in 16 regular-season games (nine starts) last season and caught 42 of 58 targets for 477 yards and six touchdowns. He also had seven receptions on nine targets for 126 yards and one TD in two playoff games.
He has 108 career receptions for 1,261 yards and 14 TDs in 49 regular-season games (19 starts), and another 11 catches for 176 yards and two scores in five postseason games (one start).
The Ravens selected Likely in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Coastal Carolina.
