Officially goes to IR
Baltimore placed Isaac (elbow) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Isaac was already expected to miss half of the 2025 season after dislocating his elbow during the Ravens' second preseason game at Dallas, but it's now certain he'll have to miss at least the first four games of the year. He was designated for return by Baltimore, which means he'll be allowed to play once healthy starting in Week 5 versus the Texans. Until he returns, rookie second-rounder Mike Green projects to see a higher share of snaps on the edge.

Might miss half the season
Isaac needs surgery on the dislocated elbow he suffered during Saturday's preseason game against Dallas and will be placed on injured reserve, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 third-round pick out of Penn State will likely miss at least half of his second NFL season, per Zrebiec. As a rookie, Isaac only appeared in four games and on 30 defensive snaps due to injuries and coach's decisions. Even if he's able to return in 2025, the outside linebacker faces stiff competition for snaps in the form of Odafe Oweh, Kyle Van Noy and 2025 second-rounder Mike Green.

Suffers dislocated elbow

ANALYSIS
A third-round pick out of Penn State last year, Isaac appeared in just four regular-season games as a rookie, logging four tackles (two solo) and one pass breakup. Now expected to miss multiple weeks, Isaac could be viewed as a candidate to be placed on injured reserve in Baltimore.

With the 2024 third-round pick from Penn State back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of Baltimore's top backup edge rushers for the remainder of the season.

The 2024 third-round draft pick avoided starting the season on IR, which suggests that the team believes he'll be ready to play within the first four weeks of the season.

Lands on NFI list
The Ravens placed Isaac (hamstring) on the active/non-football injury list Monday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Isaac, a 2024 third-round pick, has dealt with a hamstring issue since Baltimore's rookie minicamp back in May, and it's now been declared a non-football injury. The details of Isaac's injury currently remain undisclosed, as does a timetable for his return, but if he's forced to miss a substantial portion of training camp, the rookie out of Penn State could have a difficult time ultimately carving out a role in a deep edge rusher rotation that already boasts Odafe Oweh, Kyle Van Noy and David Ojabo (knee).
