Ravens' Michael Pierce: Good to go for Week 5
Pierce (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Pierce was inactive for the Ravens' Week 4 win against the Bills due to a shoulder injury. The extended rest appears to have done the 31-year-old nose tackle some good, and he should be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Pierce has tallied seven tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defended across three regular-season games.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Won't play vs. Buffalo
Pierce (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Pierce was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but he suffered a setback and was downgraded to doubtful Saturday. Sunday will be the first regular-season game Pierce will miss since 2022. Pierce's next shot at playing will be Week 5 against the Bengals on Oct. 6. Pierce is the only nose tackle on the Ravens' active roster, so backup defensive ends Broderick Washington and Brent Urban are candidates to see more snaps on the defensive line alongside starters Nnamdi Madubuike and Travis Jones.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Doubtful for Sunday
Pierce (shoulder) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.
Pierce appeared to be past his shoulder injury after practicing in full Thursday and Friday, but he's now in jeopardy of missing Sunday night's contest. If Pierce isn't able to suit up in Week 4 as expected, Brent Urban and Broderick Washington are projected to see more work with the Ravens' first-team defensive line.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Inks extension
Pierce and the Ravens agreed to a two-year, $7.5 million extension Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
The 31-year-old has spent six of his seven years in the NFL with the Ravens, and he'll remain in Baltimore through the 2025 season after inking an extension Saturday. Pierce has been having one of the best seasons of his career thus far, appearing in all 16 of the Ravens' games and recording 36 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, while also deflecting two passes. Expect the 355-pound nose tackle to continue being a major part of Baltimore's run defense for years to come.

Pierce (neck) was not listed on Baltimore's injury report Tuesday.
Pierce's absence from the injury report Tuesday suggests he'll be available for Saturday's game versus the Steelers. However, with the AFC's top seed already locked up, the Ravens could choose to rest their starters in Week 18.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Questionable to return
Pierce (neck) is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a stinger.
Pierce's stinger is described as in his neck and shoulder area. Given the nature of the game, it would seem unnecessary for him to return if his health is not up to par. While he is sidelined, Travis Jones is the likely candidate to replace him at nose tackle.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Back on field
Pierce (biceps/elbow), who finished last season on injured reserve, has been spotted working out during Ravens' voluntary OTAs, Jonathan Alfano of SI.com reports.
After opting out of the 2020 NFL season due to COVID-19-related concerns, the veteran defensive lineman appeared in just 11 games over the past two seasons with elbow and bicep injuries. Pierce said that he's feeling healthy once again, and if so, the 6-foot, 340-pounder should reprise his typical run-stuffing role at nose tackle in 2023. Between stops in Baltimore and Minnesota during his career, Pierce has appeared in 71 games and has tallied 177 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks.
