Ravens TE Isaiah Likely ruled out of game vs. Jaguars with ankle injury

Ravens rookie tight end Isaiah Likely has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with an ankle injury, the team announced Saturday.

Likely (18 catches for 206 yards and two touchdowns) was a full participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday but was limited Friday. He was listed as questionable on the injury report afterward. Likely and left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle), who was ruled out Friday, will not travel with the team to Sunday’s game.

With Likely sidelined, fellow fourth-round pick Charlie Kolar could make his NFL debut Sunday. Kolar, a productive tight end at Iowa State, underwent surgery for a sports hernia early in training camp and wasn’t activated to the 53-man roster until Nov. 8.

Jacksonville has the NFL’s lowest-rated pass defense against tight ends, according to Football Outsiders’ efficiency metrics. Along with All-Pro Mark Andrews, the Ravens also have former Jaguar Josh Oliver and Nick Boyle at the position.
