Pierce (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Pierce was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but he suffered a setback and was downgraded to doubtful Saturday. Sunday will be the first regular-season game Pierce will miss since 2022. Pierce's next shot at playing will be Week 5 against the Bengals on Oct. 6. Pierce is the only nose tackle on the Ravens' active roster, so backup defensive ends Broderick Washington and Brent Urban are candidates to see more snaps on the defensive line alongside starters Nnamdi Madubuike and Travis Jones.
