Anthony Averett News
Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Anthony Averett (thumb) suffered a broken right thumb in the Week 1 season-opening loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday and will need surgery, according to a source. Averett will likely miss at least a month, which is why the Raiders chose to place him on Injured Reserve. The 27-year-old will not be able to return until at least Week 6 against the Houston Texans. With Averett sidelined, the Raiders will be looking for both Amik Robertson and Roderic Teamer to step up in the secondary. Averett, a former fourth-rounder of the Baltimore Ravens in 2018, is in his first year with the Raiders after opening his NFL career with four seasons in Baltimore.
The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec thinks Baltimore Ravens safety DeShon Elliott has a better chance to re-sign in free agency this offseason than cornerback Anthony Averett. Averett is expected to have a bigger market, and he won't be a starter in Baltimore as long as Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters are healthy. Averett's biggest supporter in the organization was former defensive coordinator Don Martindale, and he's now gone. A deal for Elliott probably won't cost much, but the Ravens should be looking to diversify their secondary for a better complement to Chuck Clark. Zrebiec would be surprised if defensive back Tavon Young is back on his current deal in 2022. Given his extensive injury history, a $9 million salary cap hit will likely be too much for Young.
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Anthony Averett (rib), who is one of the team's few available and capable starters in the secondary, suffered a fractured rib in the Week 16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, according to a source. Averett could be fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Ravens have already lost Pro Bowl cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey (pectoral) and Marcus Peters (knee) to season-ending injuries, and Jimmy Smith and Chris Westry are on the COVID-19 list. Daryl Worley, who was signed less than a week ago, replaced Averett when he left the game on Sunday. With Baltimore's secondary in shambles, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow finished with a franchise-record 525 passing yards. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford should have a nice bounce-back game in Week 17 against the Ravens depleted secondary.
