Dontay Demus Jr. and Tarik Black were with the Ravens during training camp and both had some solid moments.

Sometimes it feels like one step forward and two steps back with the Ravens and quarterback Lamar Jackson. Here are The Baltimore Sun's NFL power rankings heading into Week 4.

With the Ravens already one of the more injured teams in the NFL through just the first three weeks of the season, it begs the question of why there are so many players getting hurt in Baltimore.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh took “full responsibility” for a lapse in communication that led to wide receiver Zay Flowers taking a fair catch at a critical juncture of the team’s 22-19 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton's three sacks in one half Sunday against the Colts tied an NFL record by a defensive back. Jadeveon Clowney sang the praises of his 6-foot-4 teammate who he dubbed, “The Avatar.”

The Ravens had every chance to secure a win Sunday against the Colts by playing to their strengths and came away only with regrets. Here are five things we learned from the game.

"We just have to do a better job communicating. I think communication is the basis for everything," said John Harbaugh on not communicating on the safety-punt.

This all seemed surreal, like another preseason game, columnist Mike Preston writes. How else could the Ravens lose to the Colts, a team missing its rookie quarterback, two starting offensive linemen and trotting out one of the worst cornerback tandems in the NFL?

The Ravens' offense struggled to find its rhythm after its opening possession, had a difficult time holding onto the ball and fell in overtime to the underdog Indianapolis Colts, 22-19, on a 53-yard field goal by kicker Matt Gay.

Here’s what The Baltimore Sun sports staff had to say immediately after the Ravens’ 22-19 overtime loss to the visiting Indianapolis Colts in Sunday’s Week 3 game at M&T Bank Stadium.

Ravens outside linebacker David Ojabo suffered an ankle injury during the first quarter of Sunday’s Week 3 game against the visiting Indianapolis Colts and is questionable to return, the team said.

The Ravens enter Week 3 short-handed, having ruled out seven starters who are inactive Sunday. Meanwhile, three Colts who were listed as questionable will play.

"We have to lock in more, stay focus more, take what the defense gives us [and] try an move the ball," said Jackson on not getting first downs at the end.

"They were having some protection issues. It was a team effort," said Kyle Hamilton on the reason he got three sacks against the Colts.

"Sometimes, the nature of this game is the ball does not go through, or you fall short sometimes," said Justin Tucker on missing a 61-yard field goal.

The Ravens released quarterback Josh Johnson on Saturday and elevated running backs Melvin Gordon III and Kenyan Drake from the practice squad as they shuffle their roster with seven players ruled out because of injury Sunday.

Through two games it’s been Ravens rookie receiver Zay Flowers — not high-priced superstar Odell Beckham Jr., nor former first-round draft picks Nelson Agholor and Rashod Bateman — who has done the most damage to opponents.

The Ravens moved to 2-0 with a 27-24 road victory over the Bengals. The Colts rebounded from an opening loss to the Jaguars by defeating the Texans. Which team will have the advantage Sunday?

The Ravens will be without seven players for their Week 3 game Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts at M&T Bank Stadium. Most notable among them are wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., running back Justice Hill and outside linebacker Odafe Oweh.

Here’s how The Baltimore Sun sports staff views the outcome of Sunday’s Week 3 game between the Ravens and the Colts at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

With a half-season of work coupled with a full offseason together, the Ravens' Patrick Queen and Roquan Smith are again two of the league’s highest-rated linebackers and consider themselves the best duo in the NFL.

Nelson Agholor crammed several careers worth of experience into his first eight NFL seasons. As he begins his ninth, the veteran wide receiver seems to have found satisfaction with the Ravens.

"We played him [Gardner Minshew] here where he was with [the] Jacksonville [Jaguars]," said Harbaugh. "He’s a challenging quarterback."

The Baltimore Ravens hold a regular season practice in Owings Mills, Maryland.

Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle), running back Justice Hill (turf toe) and outside linebacker Odafe Oweh (ankle) were among the seven Ravens who missed Thursday's practice, while Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson remains sidelined with a concussion.

Columnist Mike Preston answers questions about the outside linebacker's role in the pass rush, the pile-up of injuries, key matchups against the Colts and whether it matters that Lamar Jackson is wearing a wristband again.
