In more good news, outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy looks like he’s getting ready to play as he was a full participant on Thursday. Center Tyler Linderbaum (calf) was also upgraded to full participation.
Not only has Wiggins been one of the Ravens’ top defensive players so far this season, but it’s especially crucial considering fellow cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey (calf) and Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) are both still sidelined.
Having Stanley would be huge for an offense set to face one of the best pass rush duos in the league in the Texans’ Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr., who have seven sacks combined through four games.
If Hamilton is unable to play Sunday, it would subtract yet another Pro Bowler from Baltimore’s bottom-ranked defense that already needs a rebound performance. Inside linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring) is still sidelined, and defensive linemen Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and Broderick Washington Jr. (ankle) are on injured reserve.
Hamilton is also one of the Ravens’ most versatile players and a key to their defensive scheme. Second-year safety Sanoussi Kane would be in line for his first career start as Hamilton’s backup.
If Jackson cannot play, Cooper Rush would get the start at quarterback and Tyler Huntley would also suit up.
Wide receiver Devontez Walker (oblique) also returned to practice. Fullback Patrick Ricard (calf) is still not practicing.
The Texans don’t have a single starter who missed practice Thursday. Top wide receiver Nico Collins (knee) went from limited participation to full. Top cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. (oblique) returned to limited action.
