Vance McDonald, James Conner, and JuJu Smith-Schuster all returned as full participants to practice on Friday. Conner does not carry an injury designation for Sunday.

As for Smith-Schuster, was listed as a full participant for Friday’s practice even though he stated he was limited in practice and admitted he was only able to do the bare minimum due to his injured toe. His status for Sunday is truly questionable in nature.
JuJu Smith-Schuster said he was able to do the “bare minimum” at practice today with his injured toe. It’s the same toe he injured against New England, and he said he’s questionable for Sunday.

Vance McDonald also returned to practice from his injured shoulder and is listed as questionable after being a full participant. Vince Williams practiced fully all week but is still listed as questionable for Sunday as he hopes to return from his hamstring injury.
As expected, Roosevelt Nix and Anthony Chickillo were still unable to return from injury and are out for Sunday’s game. Cameron Heyward practiced fully again Friday and carries no injury status for Sunday’s game.
As for the Ravens injury report, it can be seen below courtesy of Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. CB Jimmy Smith is out while DT Brandon Williams and C Matt Skura are questionable.
Not practicing for Ravens: C Matt Skura (knee), CB Jimmy Smith (knee), CB Brandon Carr, OLB Pernell McPhee. Carr and McPhee got vet days last Friday too, so that likely explains their absence. Smith will sit his fourth straight game Sunday.
