Bateman wasn't spotted during the portion of Tuesday's practice open to the media, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reprots.
The specifics of Bateman's absence are not yet clear, but it's a concerning development with the Ravens on a short week. The wideout returned to action in Week 7 following a two-game absence due to a foot injury and caught four of five targets for 42 yards -- all team highs. Bateman's availability for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers should become clearer when Baltimore releases its first official injury report of the week.
