OWINGS MILLS, Md. โ While the wide receiver position remains in flux due to injuries, the Ravens are once again facing the possibility of being without their starting tight end against Cleveland on Sunday.
Crockett Gillmore missed practice again on Thursday as he continues to recover from a calf injury suffered in the Week 3 loss to Cincinnati. Rookies Maxx Williams and Nick Boyle would fill bigger roles in the offense for a second straight week if Gillmore is unable to play.
Williams and Boyle combined to make five catches for 29 yards in the 23-20 overtime win at Pittsburgh.
Wide receivers Steve Smith (back) and Breshad Perriman (knee), defensive end Chris Canty (calf), and linebackers Albert McClellan (abdomen) and Daryl Smith were also absent from Thursdayโs practice. McClellan was a new addition to the injury report while Daryl Smith received a veteran day off as he often does during Thursday practices.
After being listed as a limited participant with an ankle issue on Wednesday, Pro Bowl right guard Marshal Yanda was a full participant, removing any concern regarding his status against the Browns. Left tackle Eugene Monroe remains on track to receive his first game action on Sunday since suffering a concussion on the first series of the season opener on Sept. 13.
Backup running back Lorenzo Taliaferro returned to practice on a limited basis after resting a lingering foot issue.
Meanwhile, the Browns were without starting free safety Tashaun Gipson (ankle) for a second straight day and starting wide receiver Brian Hartline was a new addition to the injury report after sitting out Thursdayโs workout with rib and thigh injuries.
Below is Thursdayโs full injury report:
