The Baltimore Ravens will be without running back Latavius Murray and wide receiver Sammy Watkins for their Week 7 matchup Sunday with the Cincinnati Bengals, the team confirmed Friday with its injury report.
Murray, who has an ankle injury, trails only starting quarterback Lamar Jackson in rushing yardage for the Ravens this season with 212. He leads the team in rushing touchdowns with four.
Watkins, who has a thigh injury, is third on the team in receiving yards with 292 on 18 catches.
The Ravens promoted running back Le'Veon Bell from the practice squad to the 53-man roster earlier this week, and he's expected to have a larger role in Baltimore's rushing attack with Murray out. Bell has faced the Bengals eight times - most of them as a Pittsburgh Steeler between 2013 and 2017.
Baltimore enters Week 7 ranked No. 4 in the NFL in rushing, averaging 155.2 yards per game.
