Why did Isaiah Likely miss the Ravens' season opener? At the end of July, he fractured his foot on the final play of a practice. The injury occurred when Likely suffered a non-contact injury in a one-on-one drill against safety Sanoussi Kane, and he was carted off the field.

Likely had surgery on his foot and missed the rest of the preseason as well as Baltimore's season opener against the Buffalo Bills.

While he missed Week 1, Likely has continued to ramp up his progress in practice, with more lateral movement drills/workouts.

According to Deepak Chona, a data-driven injury analyst, he believes Likely's return will likely be another week, suggesting that he will make a return in Week 3.

Though Chona suggests it will be next week, there is no official word on Likely's return. But a Week 3 return makes sense.

When Likely got injured, head coach John Harbaugh said that the team would have a shot to get Likely back on the field early in the season.

"We got a shot to get him back there right away early," Harbaugh said. "We'll see. And so that's the good news. It was early in camp and it's not one of those major type of deals, but it's something. It's multiple weeks."

The Ravens face division foe Cleveland this weekend in an AFC North battle in Baltimore this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. Each team lost its season openers and will look to avoid a 0-2 start.

As of early Friday afternoon, ESPN has the Ravens as 11.5 point home favorites. Who do you think will win?
