OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Two days before an important AFC meeting with Miami, the Ravens remained banged up at the wide receiver position.
Despite practicing on a limited basis, Mike Wallace and Breshad Perriman remain in the concussion protocol and are uncertain to be available against the Dolphins. Perriman hasn’t played since sustaining a concussion on Oct. 15 while Wallace was injured during the second offensive series of the game in Minnesota on Sunday.
Veteran Jeremy Maclin (shoulder) is also practicing on a limited basis, but he’s been at the same participation level before sitting out the last two games, leaving Baltimore without a reliable possession receiver. It’s been a difficult balancing act trying to keep Maclin ready to play while also making sure his understudies receive enough work if their names are called instead as has been the case the past two weeks.
“A guy like Jeremy, we’re not really sure about him until game time,” quarterback Joe Flacco said Monday. “We have got a lot of work in practice with him, so that can hurt you in terms of reps for other guys and just getting comfortable with all that. But it’s all part of the game.”
Michael Campanaro (shoulder) remained absent during Tuesday’s walk-through practice, leaving Chris Moore, Chris Matthews, and the recently-signed Griff Whalen as the only wide receivers not listed on the injury report. Matthews missed last Sunday’s game with a thigh injury and was not on the field during the media viewing portion of Tuesday’s workout, but he is not listed on this week’s injury report.
Linebacker Terrell Suggs (knee), tight ends Benjamin Watson (knee) and Maxx Williams (ankle), and running back Terrance West (calf) were also non-participants on Tuesday. It doesn’t appear that Suggs’ status for Thursday is in real jeopardy at this point since he talked to reporters at his locker after practice.
Cornerback Jimmy Smith (Achilles tendon), defensive back Anthony Levine (back), and outside linebacker Tim Williams (thigh) all practiced on a limited basis after sitting out Monday.
The Dolphins are in much better shape from a health standpoint as quarterback Jay Cutler (ribs) and left guard Anthony Steen (foot) were the only players on their 53-man roster not to practice on Tuesday. Wide receiver DeVante Parker (ankle) and left tackle Laremy Tunsil (knee) were limited participants in their return to the field.
Below is Tuesday’s full injury report:
