ExtremeRavens: The Sanctuary

Kyle Hamilton returned and appeared to move fluidly through individual drills in the Ravens’ penultimate practice before heading to Pittsburgh.

The All-Pro safety suffered an ankle injury during last Thursday’s narrow win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Hamilton would receive testing, punting any further updates to Wednesday, when he said, “it’s the same as what we talked about.”

Hamilton would provide a significant boost for a secondary that let through four touchdowns in his absence — three of which went to Ja’Marr Chase, two took the top off the defense for 65-plus-yard scores. Hamilton limped off the field late in the second quarter. His status for Sunday’s 1 p.m. divisional showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium has not yet been announced.

As a whole, Baltimore’s secondary ranks last in the NFL in pass defense. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said earlier this week he doesn’t see any negligence that’s indicative of their statistical standing.

“It’s still the Ravens defense, man,” he said. “I know a lot has been written and said about their pass defense, but to be quite honest with you, when I turn the tape on … I see a group that’s definitively up on people, and a lot of people are getting out of their personalities and are simply somewhat one dimensional, and throwing the ball 40 and 50 times against them.”

With Hamilton’s return and outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy back in the fold after missing Wednesday due to illness, the Ravens have a relatively healthy roster for Week 11 standards.

Tight end Isaiah Likely missed most of last week nursing a hamstring injury. He was a limited participant on Wednesday and was back at practice Thursday. Defensive end Brent Urban practiced fully after he missed a pair of games recovering from a concussion.
