Just yesterday Jeremy Fowler tweeted this:
Source says Von Miller’s X-Ray came back ‘clean,’ not returning to the game out of caution. So, appears no structural damage for Miller.

That’s a high ankle sprain, which is structural damage! My entire point is, for hardcore fans like us, you need to know the difference. Big J journalists will get it wrong all the time.

You should send a strongly worded letter correcting them.

It always has been for me.

I don’t need to be a surgeon or a physician or physical therapist to be a fan. I just need to know how long a player will be out and a general hierarchy of terminology. Tear is worse than sprain. High ankle is worse than regular ankle. Hamburger takes longer to make than sandwich.

Injury designations subject to change, but I removed questionable tags from guys who played before the bye week (Queen, Young, AV, etc...)

Summary of the moves during the week off:

 

Ravens moved Eric Tomlinson to the PS, clearing the way for Nick Boyle's return. Still highlighted in red as he's not officially on the 53-man yet. Theoretically they still have the option to promote Tomlinson for this Sunday's game if Boyle in fact needs one more week. 

 

Corresponding move, Ravens reached an injury settlement with Andre Smith. 

 

Malik Harrison placed on the non-football injury list. Same rules apply as IR, can return in three weeks. Not sure of the timetable for a GSW. Depends on exactly how much damage was done I guess. 

 

Derek Wolfe and Chris Westry have returned to practice. That leaves only Ben Cleveland and Daelin Hayes as players on IR who can still return. Ja'Wuan James has been running on side fields at practice. But not "returned to practice" so his timetable is still unknown. December seemed very optimistic back in May, but that's what they are still aiming for. 4-8 weeks out. 

 

Eric Tomlinson, Cedric Ogbuehi, James Carpenter, and Joe Thomas protected this week. Ideally, Boyle would return, Ogbuehi and Thomas would be promoted for OL depth, and to add back the fifth ILB spot with Harrison out. With Mekari likely out, It will probably be two OL promoted to get to 8 OL, and they can have 48 active on gameday rather than 47. 

 

Assuming Boyle is added to the 53-man this week, it gives them 51 on the roster. If they promote two OL, they get to 53 for gameday. If the three players in red remain out, safe to assume Ferguson and one of the Washingtons will be healthy scratched to get to 48, as has been the case the last two weeks. 

 

If I didn't mention it before, Tavon Young's snap share has been higher than Jimmy Smith's of late, moving Young above Smith. Also moving Patrick Queen out of the the mike linebacker position. Tyre Phillips took RT snaps after Mekari went down, though he was playing left guard before the injury.
