From the article

The Baltimore Ravens activated Ja'Kobi Lane from injured reserve on Saturday, priming the rookie wide receiver to play on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Lane, 22, is one of Baltimore's most-hyped rookies in recent memory. The third round pick (No. 80 overall) dazzled throughout training camp and appeared to carve out the Ravens' No. 3 wide receiver role entering the regular season. But he fractured his wrist after just 27 snaps in Week 1, forcing him to undergo surgery and landing him on IR for four weeks.

Positive signalRole

Lane activated from IR, primed for expanded red zone and slot role with TE injuries.

Rookie WR activated from IR on Saturday, primed to play Sunday vs. Cleveland after four-week absence from wrist fracture. Third-round pick (No. 80 overall) was expected to carve out Ravens' No. 3 WR role entering season before injury in Week 1. With blocking TE Durham Smythe out for season (Achilles tear) and rookie TE Matt Hibner sidelined short-term (hand injury), Lane's 6-foot-5 frame positioned for expanded red zone role and potential big slot usage as Mark Andrews shifts to more inline blocking duties.
