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:
