Beau Brade and Devontez Walker eliminated

Most of the Ravens' rookie players will not be in attendance for Thursday night's NFL season opener against the host Kansas City Chiefs.

Safety Beau Brade, cornerback TJ Tampa, outside linebacker Adisa Isaac, center Nick Samac and wide receiver Devontez Walker were among the seven players declared unavailable for action before kickoff at Arrowhead Stadium.

Veteran defensive lineman Brent Urban and offensive lineman Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu also won't play. Urban is perhaps the most surprising name, as the Ravens now have Nnamdi Madubuike, Travis Jones, Michael Pierce and Broderick Washington on the interior defensive line.

Brade, a former River Hill and University of Maryland star, was the only undrafted player to make the 53-man roster, but the Ravens have plenty of safeties, led by All-Pro Kyle Hamilton, Marcus Williams, Eddie Jackson and Sanoussi Kane, who was drafted in the seventh round of the draft.

Isaac, a third-round pick, missed practice this week as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Tampa, a fourth-round pick, missed some time earlier in the offseason after undergoing hernia surgery. Walker, also a fourth-round pick, battled a rib injury during the preseason and made no attempt to displace veteran Nelson Agholor as the team's third wide receiver behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

Running back Rasheen Ali, a fifth-round pick, was listed as questionable before the game and later placed on the injured list, missing at least the first four games. The Ravens signed linebacker Josh Ross to the active roster and also called up defensive back Ka'dar Hollman and running back John Kelly from the practice squad for Thursday's game.

For Kansas City, former Ravens wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown was declared unfit to play on Wednesday due to an acromioclavicular joint injury. Also ineligible to play are tight end Peyton Hendershot, offensive lineman CJ Hanson, offensive tackle Ethan Driskell and defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu.
