ExtremeRavens Posted July 15 Posted July 15 The Ravens placed second-year running back Keaton Mitchell and rookie cornerback T.J. Tampa on the physically unable to perform list Monday ahead of the start of training camp later this week. They also added rookie outside linebacker Adisa Isaac to the non-football injury list. Two of the moves were mildly surprising. Tampa, whom the Ravens drafted in the fourth round out of Iowa State, was a full participant in Baltimore’s offseason workouts this spring. His injury is not known, though he can be activated at any point. The Ravens have plenty of depth at cornerback, including Marlon Humphrey, Brandon Stephens and first-round pick Nate Wiggins, among others. Isaac, a third-round pick out of Penn State, suffered a hamstring “tweak” during rookie minicamp in May, according to coach John Harbaugh, and has not practiced since. His absence leaves Baltimore a little thin at the position with David Ojabo continuing to work his way back from a torn ACL that ended his season last year, though Isaac, likewise, can come off the NFI list at any point. Mitchell, meanwhile, is continuing his comeback from a torn ACL suffered last December against the Jacksonville Jaguars and is expected to be out all of training camp. If he is still on the PUP list once the 53-man roster is finalized, he’ll have to sit out at least the first four games of the season. Harbaugh said in May that Mitchell should be able to return “sometime during the season” and that he’s “on schedule, maybe ahead of schedule.” As an undrafted rookie out of East Carolina last season, the diminutive but speedy Mitchell provided an instant spark to the Ravens’ backfield. In eight games, he rushed for 396 yards on 47 carries with two touchdowns and had nine catches for 93 yards. Ravens rookies reported to Owings Mills for training camp on Saturday, while quarterbacks, including two-time NFL Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson, and injured veterans did so Monday. Veterans are due to report Saturday. Baltimore’s first full-team practice will take place Sunday. View the full article Quote
