Ravens vs Cowboys injury report and team news

The league has said a plan is in place to ensure a high-quality playing surface after concerns about the Maracana pitch.

The matchup that settles it: Derrick Henry against a defence with two sacks

Dallas have recorded two sacks in two games and conceded 5.0 yards a carry, which is the softest run defence Baltimore have faced.

The Cowboys’ own offence is genuinely good: 85.7% in the red zone and six touchdown passes from Dak Prescott.

Neutral ground matters more than usual here. Dallas lose their crowd, and a first-time NFL surface is an unknown for both.

Players to watch

  • Derrick Henry (BAL, RB): Part of a ground game averaging 5.3 a carry with five rushing scores.
  • Lamar Jackson (BAL, QB): 508 passing yards and a 104.7 rating across two games.
  • Dak Prescott (DAL, QB): Six touchdown passes in two games at a 117.1 rating.
  • CeeDee Lamb (DAL, WR): Dallas’ primary target in an offence converting 85.7% in the red zone.
