ExtremeRavens Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Wide receiver-kick returner Deonte Harty, defensive lineman Brent Urban and linebacker Malik Harrison were the only Ravens absent from Thursday’s practice, days out from the team’s third of five prime-time games this season. Monday night, Baltimore kicks off at 8:15 p.m. against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. The Buccaneers are coming off a 51-point outburst against the New Orleans Saints while the Ravens are riding a four-game winning streak. Harty (knee) wound up on the injury report last Wednesday as a limited participant. He was full go last Thursday and Friday, then played into the fourth quarter against the Washington Commanders, returning two kicks and one punt. He did not participate this Thursday. Urban, who also played through the majority of Sunday’s win, did not practice because of illness. Harrison (groin) played in each of Baltimore’s first five games but missed practice all of last week and did not participate to open this week. Cornerback Arthur Maulet (hamstring/knee) and defensive lineman Broderick Washington (knee) both returned in limited capacity after missing Sunday’s win over the Commanders. Maulet made a limited appearance at practice Oct. 2 leading up to the Ravens traveling to Cincinnati for Week 5. Coach John Harbaugh said earlier this week there was a good chance that the veteran defensive back would be on the field this week, but it’s wait-and-see if he’ll be a full go Monday night. Maulet played in 14 games last season, recording 37 tackles, two sacks and one interception, but was sidelined by arthroscopic knee surgery and later had a “soft-tissue setback.” Washington would be a welcome addition to Baltimore’s defensive line. Pass rush coach Chuck Smith wore a wide smile calling over to Washington as he made his way back onto the practice field. The 2020 fifth-round draft pick appeared in each of the Ravens’ first five games, recording four tackles while playing 39% of the defensive snaps. Washington then missed all three practices last week. Rookie running back Rasheen Ali (ankle), who made his NFL regular-season debut Sunday and played on special teams, was limited. Tampa Bay’s first injury report of the week is more than twice as long as Baltimore’s. Among those who did not practice were wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring), cornerback Jamel Dean (hamstring), tight end Payne Durham (calf) and receiver Kameron Johnson (ankle). Center Graham Barton (hamstring), outside linebacker Chris Braswell (shoulder), defensive lineman William Gholston (knee), defensive back Christian Izien (elbow/groin), wide receiver Rakim Jarrett (knee), receiver Trey Palmer (concussion), running back Rachaad White (foot) and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot) were all limited. That list includes five starters and several key contributors for the NFC South co-leaders. Evans, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, is second on the team with 25 catches for 310 yards and five touchdowns this season. White missed last week’s game against the Saints and has been outplayed by rookie Bucky Irving but is still a pass-catching threat out of the backfield. Winfield, a 2021 All-Pro, returned last week to help reinforce the secondary, though Dean was injured in Sunday’s loss. Barton has been the starting center since being drafted in the first round in April, while Braswell, Gholston and Izien have been part of the rotation on defense. Have a news tip?
