Washington’s injury could mean more action for veteran slot cornerback Arthur Maulet, who was a gameday inactive the first two weeks.
The Ravens acquired Maulet after a contract dispute led to his release from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played well early in training camp but suffered a hamstring injury and missed camp. However, he still made the 53-man roster and the Ravens are lucky to have him today.
Baltimore will play the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium and Maulet’s former team, the Steelers, in Week 5. Maulet said he has that game on his calendar.
“Obviously, I’m a tough guy. I kind of fit the scheme. I like the way the defense is set up,” said Maulet on August 30. [I] Can’t wait to get out there and play, really.”
Mustipher was activated from the practice squad for the first two games. He stepped in as the starter in place of the injured Tyler Linderbaum (ankle sprain) in Cincinnati. Mustipher played well, as the Ravens didn’t surrender a single sack and Lamar Jackson faced the lowest pressure rate of his career.
