BALTIMORE — Rookie receiver Travis Benjamin will replace Mohamed Massaquoi (hamstring) in the starting lineup for tonight’s game against the Ravens.
Benjamin started in a three-receiver set in Week 2 against Cincinnati and scored his first NFL touchdown Sunday against Buffalo on a 22-yard post-corner route. He has three catches for 56 yards (18.7 average) and three carries for 50 yards.
Massaquoi was inactive after pulling the hamstring Sunday against the Bills.
Free safety Eric Hagg was inactive for the second straight game after starting the first two. He was again replaced by Usama Young in the starting lineup. Hagg is healthy, but wasn’t productive, according to the coaches.
Running back Brandon Jackson was a healthy scratch for the third straight week.
The other inactives: tight end Alex Smith (concussion), rookie linebacker James-Michael Johnson (ribs/oblique), quarterback Thaddeus Lewis and rookie offensive lineman Ryan Miller.
