OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Moving closer to their Week 6 meeting with the San Francisco 49ers, the Ravens appear set to welcome back their two most reliable pass-catchers.
Wide receiver Steve Smith (back) and tight end Crockett Gillmore (calf) each practiced on a limited basis for the second straight day. Though Smith appeared to be less than 100 percent while running routes during the portion of practice open to media, his presence at consecutive workouts makes it more likely that he will attempt to play against the 49ers after suffering microfractures in his back just two weeks ago.
The Ravens were still missing a number of key players from Thursday’s practice as outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil (groin), running back Justin Forsett (ankle), right guard Marshal Yanda (ankle), cornerback Lardarius Webb (hamstring), safety Terrence Brooks (thumb), defensive end Chris Canty (calf), and wide receivers Breshad Perriman (knee) and Darren Waller (concussion) were all non-participants.
Inside linebacker Daryl Smith received a veteran day off as he typically does on Thursdays.
Wide receiver Chris Givens returned to practice after missing Wednesday’s workout with an ankle ailment.
Meanwhile, the 49ers saw a number of players return to practice on Thursday with only starting left tackle Joe Staley (knee) and backup running back Reggie Bush (calf) sitting out.
Below is Thursday’s full injury report:

Right Now in Baltimore
Podcasts, Pearl Jam passion and the present tense with The Mayne Event
They met on the backstretch at Pimlico three decades ago and The Mayne Event always returns and never disappoints for sports, comedy, charity and why Eddie Vedder shouldn't trust Nestor. Longtime ESPNer Kenny Mayne checks in for another round of tales of wiffle ball with Ken Griffey, podcasts with the other Manning and still being pissed off about the Sonics (and Pilots) departure from Seattle.
Running back Tampa 25 years later with Ravens RB coach Matt Simon
These milestones continue to add up as the 25th anniversary of the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl XXXV win is coming later this month and Nestor is catching up with many of the Purple Reign legacies about life – on and off the field – as we celebrate the night we all felt the civic pride of that first miracle in Tampa. Reflections here with the man who coached Jamal Lewis, Priest Holmes, Sam Gash and Femi Ayanbadejo a quarter of a century ago.
The Ravens weren't good enough on the field
Firing the head coach and changing leadership will certainly create an interesting offseason in Owings Mills. No one covers the Xs and Os of the NFL like Mike Tanier of Too Deep Zone. The one-time geometry teacher of Joe Flacco joins Nestor to discuss the depth and salary cap numbers of the Baltimore Ravens roster and the structural changes Eric DeCosta will need even after Steve Bisciotti finds a new captain to lead Lamar Jackson.
