OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens continued to be without a number of key veterans as left tackle Eugene Monroe and cornerback Jimmy Smith joined linebacker Daryl Smith and cornerback Lardarius Webb as non-participants during Friday’s practice.
It remains unclear whether Monroe or Jimmy Smith were dealing with injuries or were simply given a day off to rest as the Ravens worked in helmets, shells, and shorts. Webb continues to be sidelined with lower back spasms that first surfaced last Friday while Daryl Smith has been sidelined for three straight practices with a groin injury not considered to be serious.
Wide receiver Steve Smith was on the field but not taking part in practice as the Ravens appear to be holding back the 35-year-old from working too hard while he continues to impress this summer.
Offensive lineman Will Rackley (concussion) and defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan (back spasms) were once again absent, and defensive tackle Terrence Cody remains on the physically unable to perform list following offseason hip surgery. Defensive end Brent Urban hasn’t officially been placed on injured reserve after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee on Wednesday.
Rookie wide receiver Jeremy Butler returned to the practice field after Thursday’s absence due to a groin strain. Defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, linebacker Terrell Suggs, and running back Justin Forsett all returned to practice after being awarded Thursday off by head coach John Harbaugh.
