Jan 19, 2025; Orchard Park, New York, USA; Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (80) makes a catch during the first quarter against the Buffalo Bills in a 2025 AFC divisional round game at Highmark Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely was a full participant in practice on Friday and is questionable to make his season debut versus the host Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Likely is working his way back from foot surgery, a result of a non-contact injury sustained during position drills on July 29.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told reporters on Friday that he hasn't made up his mind on whether Likely will be on the field in Kansas City.
"It depends on what's best for us and the team in terms of, we'll watch the tape, see how his numbers look," Harbaugh said. "It's going to be a tough environment. He has practiced one week, but he looked really good. So is he ready to go in there, in this game against those guys and play at the top, top level and help us win the game? Or is somebody else more well-suited?
"But he could do it, looks good to me. We'll just have to see if it's the best thing for us on Sunday. We haven't really decided that yet."
Veteran tight end Mark Andrews reeled in six catches for 91 yards and two touchdowns in Baltimore's 38-30 setback to the Detroit Lions on Monday.
Likely, 25, had 42 receptions for 477 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games (nine starts) last season for the Ravens.
He has 108 catches for 1,261 yards and 14 TDs in 49 career games (19 starts) since being selected by Baltimore in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Coastal Carolina.
Also on Friday, the Ravens (1-2) listed left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle), linebacker Kyle Van Noy (hamstring) and defensive tackle Travis Jones (knee) as questionable to face the Chiefs (1-2). All three of those players were limited in practice on Friday.
Defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike (neck), fullback Patrick Ricard (calf) and defensive tackle Broderick Washington (ankle) did not practice for the third straight day on Friday and have been ruled out against Kansas City.
