Ravens WR Rashod Bateman Returns to OTAs Healthy, Eyeing WR2 Role Behind Zay Flowers

Rashod Bateman is participating in OTAs this week after missing the Ravens' Week 18 regular-season finale last season due to an illness. He is now back to 100 percent health.

In what was a career year in 2024, Bateman caught 45 passes for 756 yards and nine touchdowns before being sidelined by the illness.

This marks a significant rebound from his previous season, where he managed only 19 catches for 224 yards and two touchdowns on 38 targets while battling injuries.

As the new season approaches, Bateman will have another opportunity to handle WR2 duties behind Zay Flowers.

The competition for targets also includes returning receivers Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester, along with 2026 draft picks Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt.

All five receivers will be vying for playing time in new Offensive Coordinator Declan Doyle's offense.
