Leads best defense in NFL in 2018

Mosley recorded 105 tackles (70 solo), five passes defensed and one interception across 15 games in the 2018 season.

Analysis: Mosley paved the way for a Ravens defense that would earn top honors across the league in 2018. He led the team in tackles and made many key plays throughout the year, earning him his fourth Pro Bowl nod in five seasons. The 26-year-old will now begin the most critical offseason of his career as he enters free agency for the first time. There's no question Baltimore hopes to retain one of its youngest and brightest assets, but it remains to be seen if the team will be able to afford Mosley's…read more

Tallies eight tackles in win

Mosley recorded eight tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks, in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Mosley's half-sack was his first of the season. He hasn't been used much as a pass rusher in recent years, which is reflected in his poor sack numbers. He's also had a bit of a down year in tackles by his standards, but he still has 91 stops (62 solo) through 13 games this season. He'll look to continue his strong play in Week 16 when the Ravens face off against the Chargers.

Seven tackles against Steelers

Mosley had seven tackles and a pass defensed Sunday against the Steelers.

Analysis: A thigh injury left Mosley questionable coming into Sunday's game but the Ravens' most important defensive player was indeed on the field. He had seven tackles, his lowest since Week 6 against Tennessee, but it was a relatively productive day from Mosley overall. Mosley and the Ravens are on a bye for Week 10 before starting the stretch run with a home game against the Bengals in Week 11.

Ready to play Sunday

Mosley (thigh) is active for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Mosley will be hunting for his third straight double-digit tackle performance, as he's racked up 27 in the last two games. The Steelers have been dedicated to the run lately, rushing 84 times in the last three games, so Mosley will have plenty of chances to keep the streak alive.

Sports questionable designation

Mosley (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Steelers.

Analysis: Mosley has been hot with 27 tackles over the last two games against strong run attacks. The Ravens will likely lean on Mosley again to slow down James Conner, but if he can't go, expect either Chris Board or Kenny Young to slot in as a starter.

No practice Wednesday

Mosley didn't practice Wednesday due to a thigh injury.

Analysis: Mosley likely picked up the injury during Baltimore's loss to Carolina in Week 8. He'll have two more practices this week to prove his health with the hopes of gaining clearance to play Sunday against the Steelers. The fifth-year linebacker has turned in banner performances for his owners in IDP leagues the past two contests, tallying 16 and 11 tackles in those games.

Posts 11 tackles Week 8

Mosley recorded 11 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's loss to the Panthers.

Analysis: Mosley recorded double-digit tackles for the second week in a row. After some lackluster performances early in the season, he appears to have returned to the form we've come to expect from him. He'll look to continue stacking success in Week 9, when the Ravens take on the Steelers.

Logs 16 tackles Sunday

Mosley recorded 16 tackles (11 solo) in Sunday's loss to New Orleans.

Analysis: Mosley's 16 solo tackles are the most he's ever recorded in a single game. When healthy, he's been a quality player for the Ravens. He'll look to continue his strong play into Week 8, when Baltimore faces off against Carolina.

Active in Week 4

Mosley (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Analysis: Mosley was limited in Week 2 and sat out the Ravens' Week 3 game, so the 26-year-old could be on a snap count during Sunday's tilt against the Steelers. It's still possible that Mosley will have IDP value as the season progresses.

Likely to play Sunday

Mosley (knee) is expected to play Sunday's game against the Steelers, NFL.com reports.

Analysis: Mosley last started Week 2 but was pulled from the game after just three defensive snaps. The 26-year-old has five tackles (four solo) on the season after racking up 132 last year, so he could still be a valuable IDP addition in Week 4.

Listed as questionable

Mosley (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Steelers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Mosley missed the previous two games after injuring his knee in Week 1. However, he appears to be trending in a positive direction, as he logged consecutive full practices to end the week. If he is ultimately unable to return, look for Chris Board and Kenny Young to continue seeing increased roles at inside linebacker.

Full participant Thursday

Mosley (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Analysis: Mosley was sidelined for Week 3's game against the Broncos, but a full return to practice Friday suggests that the linebacker is back to full health this week. Expect Mosley to be a full go for Sunday night's game against the Steelers.

Inactive in Week 3

Mosley (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 3 tilt against the Broncos.

Analysis: Mosley's bone bruise was likely to sideline him, but there had been faint optimism he might be able to tough it out in Week 3. With that prospect no longer in play, expected Kenny Young to likely step into Mosley's role in what would have to be considered a notable downgrade for the Ravens defense as a whole.

Deemed game-time call

Mosley (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, is considered a game-time decision, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Mosley sustained a bone bruise in his left knee last week that would likely result in most players immediately being ruled out for a team's subsequent game, but the linebacker is still maintaining hope of suiting up Week 3 after logging only one limited practice. If Mosley's knee doesn't respond to the pregame workout as he hopes and he ends up being ruled out, Kenny Young would likely start at inside linebacker alongside Patrick Onwuasor.

Questionable vs. Denver

Mosley (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Analysis: Mosley did not practice Friday after putting in limited work Thursday, so his status for Sunday's outing is truly up in the air. Mosley will likely test out the injury one last time during pregame warmups and seems like a sure game-time decision.

Participates in practice

Mosley (knee) participated in individual drills at practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Mosley suffered a bone bruise in Week 2 against the Bengals and had been unable to practice this week. The fact that he practiced Thursday should come as a surprise, since it was originally reported that there was no timetable for his return. His availability at practice later in the week should provide a good indication about his chances to suit up in Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Still not practicing

Mosley (knee) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Mosley continues to nurse a bone bruise sustained in last Thursday's game against the Bengals. There's no timetable for the linebacker's return, but Mosley seems likely to sit out Sunday's contest against the Broncos. Kenny Young and Chris Board should see increased snaps in Mosley's absence.

Knee injury is bone bruise

Mosley's knee issue appears to be a bone bruise, and his status for Week 3 action remains up in the air, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Although coach John Harbaugh avoided the specifics, the Ravens coach was happy to reveal that the knee injury is merely a bone bruise. There's no timetable for a return, but Baltimore seems optimistic that Mosley will be back sooner rather than later after apparently steering clear of any structural damage.

Avoids ligament damage

Per coach John Harbaugh, Mosley didn't suffer any ligament damage in his knee during Thursday's 34-23 loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: Mosley was carted to the locker room in the first quarter, but an MRI revealed he didn't sustain any structural damage and he's therefore likely looking at only a short-term absence. However, if Mosley is forced to miss next Sunday's matchup with the Broncos, Kenny Young and Chris Board will both be in line for additional snaps at middle linebacker.

Doubtful to return Thursday

Mosley (knee) is doubtful to return to Thursday's contest against the Bengals due to a bone bruise.

Analysis: Mosley came up gimpy after a play in the first quarter. On a positive note, initial reports suggest that no structural damage was sustained in his knee, so the injury may not be long term. As long as Mosley remains off the field, Kenny Young and Chris Board are both candidates to receive additional playing time at middle linebacker.

Carted off with knee injury

Mosley was taken to the locker room on a cart in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Bengals and is being evaluated for a knee injury.

Analysis: Mosley landed awkwardly while decelerating after a play was over and came up limping. The linebacker has been a Pro Bowler three of the past four seasons and would be a big loss for the Ravens defense if out for a significant period of time. As long as Mosley remains off the field, Chris Board is slated to take over at middle linebacker.

Mosley finished his fourth professional season with 132 tackles, three forced fumbles, two interceptions, a sack and a defensive touchdown.

Analysis: The Alabama product's impressive campaign earned him Pro Bowl honors for the third time in just four seasons. His 132 tackles were one shy of his career high, which Mosley set as a rookie in 2014. Mosley battled through some wear-and-tear as the season progressed -- which cost him some of his effectiveness in coverage down the stretch -- but he still produced the counting stats to be one of the top IDP options in the entire league. At just 25 years old, Mosley appears to be reaching his prime,…read more

Mosley made 14 tackles (nine solo) against the Steelers on Sunday.

Analysis: Mosley had the opportunity to post his season high in tackles because he played a monstrous 89 defensive snaps. The fourth-year pro now has 115 tackles on the season, and since he consistently plays full snap counts, Mosley is a stellar IDP option.

Mosley (ankle) is officially active for Sunday night's game against the Steelers.

Analysis: Mosley was listed as questionable after putting in full practices Thursday and Friday, and his status was never truly in doubt. The 25-year-old remains a top-level IDP option against the Steelers this week.

Mosley (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

Analysis: Mosley logged full practices Thursday and Friday, leaving little question as to his game availability. Despite the official designation, he's locked in as a top IDP option this week.

Mosley (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

Analysis: Mosley did not practice Wednesday, but barring any major setbacks, the linebacker should now be cleared to play Sunday against the Steelers. He'll provide a major boost to the Ravens' defense, as he easily leads the team in tackles with 101 (72 solo) on the season thus far.

Mosley (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Mosley played through the same injury the past two weeks, recording a combined 18 tackles while filling his usual three-down role. He showed a slight limp at one point in Sunday's 44-20 win over the Lions, but nonetheless stayed on the field deep into the fourth quarter when the outcome was no longer in question. Mosley should be fine to face the Steelers in Week 14 even if he misses some practice time this week.

Mosley (ankle) is active Sunday against the Lions.

Analysis: A week of limited practices cleared the way for Mosley to suit up against Matt Stafford and the Lions in Week 13. The IDP stalwart has played in every game this season, and leads the Ravens in combined tackles (95), solo tackles (69) and tackles for loss (8).

Mosley (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Analysis: Mosley was a limited participant in practice this week and appears likely to be available against the Lions. Steven Johnson and Kamalei Correa are likely to see an increased workload at inside linebacker if Mosley is unable to suit up Sunday.

Mosley (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Analysis: Mosley nursed an ankle injury ahead of Week 12's game against the Texans, and he was a workhorse, racking up 12 tackles (five solo). Keep an eye on how he progresses, but as long as he practices in some fashion, fantasy owners shouldn't be worried about Mosley's availability Sunday.

Mosley recorded 12 tackles (five solo) against the Texans on Monday.

Analysis: The fourth-year pro dealt with an ankle injury ahead of Monday's game, but it didn't keep him from playing all 69 defensive snaps. This was Mosley's fourth contest with double-digit tackles, making his season total 95 tackles.

Mosley (ankle) is officially active for Monday's game against the Texans.

Analysis: Mosley was listed as questionable after suffering the injury in last week's win over the Packers, but he won't be forced to miss Monday's game. The 25-year-old should have plenty of opportunities to pile up some tackle numbers, considering the Texans likely hope to establish their running game early.

Mosley (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Texans, Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Analysis: Mosley injured his ankle in last Sunday's win over the Packers, but practiced fully Saturday after sitting out earlier in the week. It looks as though the 25-year-old is expected to play Monday, but Patrick Onwuasor would likely see an increased role if Mosley is unable to suit up.

Mosley (ankle) isn't practicing Friday.

Analysis: Ravens coach John Harbaugh suggested Mosley escaped Sunday's 23-0 win over the Packers with only a minor injury, but there's now some concern about the linebacker's status given that he hasn't practiced this week. Mosley does have an extra day to recover with the Ravens facing the Texans on Monday Night Football. He'll have one last chance to practice Saturday, at which point the team will release its final injury report of the week. Fellow inside linebacker Patrick Onwuasor could make for a…read more

Mosley (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Analysis: Mosley sustained a minor ankle sprain in the fourth quarter of Sunday's shutout of the Packers. Fortunately he has extra time to recover, as the Ravens play on Monday night this week.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh suggested Monday that Mosley suffered a minor ankle sprain in Sunday's 23-0 win over the Packers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Analysis: Mosley suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter when the Ravens were trying to preserve a shutout. It appears the team escaped what could've been an embarrassing incident, as there was little reason to have a player of Mosley's caliber on the field in the waning seconds. He finished the game with seven tackles and a forced fumble, bringing his season totals to 83 tackles (64 solo), one sack, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, two interceptions and a touchdown. Mosley is locked in…read more
