ExtremeRavens Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Three Ravens starters who were absent from practice Wednesday returned as limited participants Thursday. Coach John Harbaugh chalked up the absences of wide receiver Rashod Bateman (groin), left tackle Ronnie Stanley (toe) and cornerback Marlon Humphrey (ankle) to “normal after-game-type-of-things that you deal with at this point in time of the season.” All said, the Ravens (3-2) have remained fairly healthy through five weeks heading into Sunday’s 1 p.m. clash with the Washington Commanders (4-1), who hold the second best record in the NFC and haven’t lost since Week 1. Bateman hasn’t been a focal point of the Ravens’ offense but has proven to be a strong complementary piece. He caught three passes for 28 yards and logged his first touchdown of the season against the Dallas Cowboys, then tallied another four catches for 58 yards and a touchdown versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Stanley has been a consistent force along the offensive line, playing 99% of snaps and ranked by Pro Football Focus as the second-best pass blocking tackle in football. Humphrey was an unlikely hero in a Bengals game littered with star power. He came up with the late interception that sent the game to overtime. He left the stadium in a walking boot but looked comfortable in individual drills Thursday. Defensive tackle Broderick Washington (knee) and cornerback Arthur Maulet (knee/hamstring) each did not practice for the second consecutive day, while reserve guard Sala Aumavae-Laulu was absent for the first time with a back injury. Returner Deonte Harty (knee) and tight end Charlie Kolar (toe) were full participants. Right tackle Roger Rosengarten (hand/ankle) was a limited participant both days of practice this week. As for the visiting Commanders, running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday. Defensive end Clelin Ferrell (knee) was limited Thursday, while outside linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. (illness) and running back Austin Ekeler (heel) were listed as full participants. Defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis was out with an illness. Wide receiver Noah Brown (groin) and safety Quan Martin (neck) were limited participants for the second straight day. Guard Nick Allegretti (ankle) returned Thursday and was limited. Have a news tip? Contact Sam Cohn at scohn@baltsun.com, 410-332-6200 and x.com/samdcohn. View the full article Quote
