The Baltimore Ravens are set to see the return of highly-touted rookie wide receiver Rashod Bateman in the near future. But while hopes are high that he can make an immediate impact, expectations should probably be tempered.
Bateman quickly made a strong first impression in the spring as one of the standouts from rookie minicamp and OTAs. Ravens fans began envisioning an offense with Bateman serving as one of Lamar Jackson’s top targets.
Unfortunately, that hasn’t gone according to plan so far.
Bateman was sidelined early in training camp with a groin injury and he was forced to sit out most of the summer.
