OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens returned to their indoor field house in Owings Mills Wednesday to take part in their first practice open to media since returning from their bye week.
Making preparations for Monday’s prime-time game against the New Orleans Saints, Baltimore was without Pro Bowl guard Marshal Yanda (knee), rookie wide receiver Michael Campanaro (hamstring), and reserve offensive lineman Jah Reid (hand). The Ravens do not have to release their first injury report until Thursday with their Week 12 game on Monday night.
Yanda played all 62 offensive snaps of the Ravens’ 21-7 win over Tennessee on Nov. 9, but he had been nursing a knee injury for a couple weeks prior to that.
Campanaro hasn’t played since injuring his hamstring in the Oct. 26 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Head coach John Harbaugh expressed hope last week that the seventh-round pick would be close to returning after the bye as he’s missed the Ravens’ last two games.
Reid missed the Tennessee game after suffering a broken hand that required surgery. The Ravens have elected to keep him on the 53-man roster to this point instead of sending him to season-ending injured reserve.
The Saints appear to be in worse shape from an injury standpoint as talented rookie wideout Brandin Cooks (hand) and starting safety Rafael Bush (leg) were both placed on IR Tuesday. Cooks was New Orleans’ second-leading receiver behind All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham this season, and Bush had replaced injured Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd, who is also on IR.
