Coach Jon Harbaugh said Monday that Bateman's fourth-quarter absence during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills was due to a foot injury, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Harbaugh called Bateman day-to-day and downplayed the severity of the issue, per Shaffer, so it appears that the second-year pro still has a chance of suiting up Week 5 versus the Bengals. The foot injury provides some context to Bateman's three catches (on six targets) for 17 yards, a season-low for him in terms of receiving yardage. Wednesday's first official injury report of the week will provide an update on Bateman's status.
