OWINGS MILLS, Md. — While all players on the 53-man roster took part in Wednesday’s practice in preparation of their wild-card matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, the Ravens are still feeling the effects of a season’s worth of injuries as 11 players worked on a limited basis.
After missing practice all last week and being listed as inactive for Sunday’s regular-season finale against Cincinnati, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata and right guard Marshal Yanda returned to practice on a limited basis as both appear set to make their respective returns for the first round of the playoffs. Others limited for Wednesday’s workout included fullback Vonta Leach, safety Bernard Pollard, and left guard Jah Reid.
Reid was listed as having a toe injury and appeared to be taking part in little activity during the portion of practice open to the media.
Meanwhile, Indianapolis was missing four players from practice as linebackers Dwight Freeney and Pat Angerer, defensive tackle Kellen Heard, and guard Joe Reitz all sat out.
