OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Thursday’s injury report featured a member of the Ravens defense taking a step back as cornerback Chris Carr joined Ray Lewis as a non-participant.
Despite practicing on a limited basis on Wednesday, the veteran defensive back sat out a day later as he continues to deal with a back injury that sidelined him for last week’s game against the 49ers. Carr dealt with a hamstring injury earlier in the season and has missed five games after never missing a game in his first six seasons in the league.
There were no other changes to the Ravens’ practice report as Lewis missed practice for the second straight day and is unlikely to play against the Browns in Cleveland.
Cleveland starting safety Mike Adams was upgraded to limited participant on Thursday, but his counterpart in the defensive backfield, T.J. Ward, missed practice for the second straight day with foot and finger injuries.
