Ravens' Isaiah Likely: All clear to face Steelers
Isaiah Likely (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers.Likely will return from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. After being a limited participant Wednesday, he practiced without limitations Thursday and Friday. While Likely's healthy, he probably will continue to cede most of the targets among Baltimore Ravens tight ends to Mark Andrews, which had usually been the case in the weeks leading up to Likely's injury.

Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Practices fully Thursday
Isaiah Likely (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday.The full session should clear the way for Likely to return to action Sunday in Pittsburgh after he sat out the Baltimore Ravens' Week 10 win over the Bengals due to the hamstring injury. His absence last week freed up a larger role in the passing game for top tight end Mark Andrews (6-68-1 receiving line on seven targets), but the expected return of Likely in Week 11 will presumably lower Andrews' fantasy ceiling. As for Likely himself, he's failed to come close to matching his lofty production in the Ravens' loss to the Chiefs in Week 1, when he caught nine balls for 111 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. In his subsequent eight appearances combined, Lively has been contained to a 15-160-2 line on 22 targets.

Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Back at practice Wednesday
Isaiah Likely (hamstring) was on the field for practice Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.Likely missed last Thursday's 35-34 win over the Bengals with the hamstring injury, but the extended time off appears to have done him some good. While Likely was sidelined last week, fellow tight end Mark Andrews played a season-high 87 percent of the offensive snaps and drew a season-best seven targets en route to finishing with a 6-68-1 receiving line. Likely's potential return Sunday against the Steelers would amount to a hit to Andrews' fantasy stock and would give the Baltimore Ravens a three-man tight end group that also includes Charlie Kolar.

Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Sidelined for practice Tuesday
Isaiah Likely (hamstring) wasn't on the field for Tuesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.Likely had been previously listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, and with Tuesday being the Baltimore Ravens' only full practice before Thursday's matchup with the Bengals, the tight end looks to be at real risk of missing his first game of the season. The injury may explain why Likely was held to a season-low 31 percent snap share in the Ravens' Week 9 win over the Broncos. If Likely were to sit out Thursday's contest, Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar could see increased reps, and fullback Patrick Ricard -- who caught a three-yard touchdown in Week 9 -- could also be on the field more frequently.

Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Listed as DNP on Monday
Isaiah Likely (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.The Baltimore Ravens merely held a walkthrough Monday. It's a new injury for Likely, who had yet to miss a single practice rep all season through nine weeks. The Ravens have a quick turnaround this week ahead of a Thursday night date with the Bengals. If Likely is unable to go, Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar would handle tight end duties, and Baltimore could opt to use more three-wide sets with Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and newcomer Diontae Johnson.

Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Best game since opener
Isaiah Likely caught all four of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns.This was Likely's highest catch and yardage output since his eye-opening season opener against the Chiefs. Though Likely didn't cash in a touchdown, he still was efficient as he caught everything thrown his way on a strong 12.0 YPT clip. His best catch came on a 25-yard gain that set up an eventual touchdown to Mark Andrews in the third quarter. Likely is up to 24 catches for 271 yards and three touchdowns on 33 targets this season and draws a matchup against the Broncos in Week 9.

Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Two grabs in Week 7
Isaiah Likely caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.Despite leading all Baltimore tight ends in offensive snaps (35), Likely was not much of a factor in the win. Fellow tight end Mark Andrews, however, had his first big game of the season, catching all four of his targets for 41 yards and two touchdowns. The 24-year-old Likely has been limited to two receptions for two straight games, and it's possible that he could see his role in the offense diminish if Andrews continues to approach his former production levels.
