## Lane's wrist injury less severe than feared
Ja'Kobi Lane will have surgery to repair a wrist fracture and is expected back in about a month, much sooner than initially thought.
## Lane got hurt in Ravens' big win
The rookie caught one pass for 11 yards in Baltimore's 41-23 victory over Indianapolis before the injury occurred.
## Zay Flowers also dealing with injury
Star receiver Zay Flowers is day-to-day with a hamstring injury after posting a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown against the Colts.
## Ravens sign practice squad receiver
Baltimore worked out four receivers and signed Gage Larvadain to the practice squad as insurance for the injured wide receiver room.
## Five receivers saw action Sunday
Rashod Bateman led with 78 percent snap count, while Chris Moore, LaJohntay Wester, Lane, and Flowers all got playing time in the win.
## Bateman likely to see more targets
With Lane sidelined and Flowers' status uncertain, Rashod Bateman should see increased opportunities in the coming weeks.
## Jackson and Henry dominated Sunday
Lamar Jackson went 17-for-25 for 324 yards and a touchdown, while Derrick Henry rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries.
## Ravens may lean on ground game
Baltimore had 37 rushing attempts against Indianapolis and could rely heavily on the run game while managing receiver injuries.
## Key takeaway

Lane should return in about a month after wrist surgery, but the Ravens must manage injuries to multiple receivers in the meantime.
