OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Finally turning their attention to the Cincinnati Bengals by returning to the practice field, the Ravens were without their emotional defensive leader for Wedneday’s workout.
Future Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis was absent from the portion of practice open to the media as the Ravens worked indoors with rainy weather prevalent in Owings Mills. It is unknown whether Lewis suffered an injury in Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but the 36-year-old linebacker spoke to the media prior to practice and gave no indication of being injured.
Defensive tackle Arthur Jones and running back Anthony Allen were also absent from the field during the open portion of practice. Jones suffered a concussion in the loss to the Seahawks and was not permitted to talk to reporters due to the league’s concussion policy. The second-year defensive lineman was wearing sunglasses in the locker room, an indication that his eyes might be sensitive to light like his teammate Tom Zbikowski dealt with after sustaining a concussion last month.
Allen continues to deal with a thigh injury that has lingered for several weeks. The rookie was ruled out before sitting out Sunday’s game in Seattle.
Wide receiver Lee Evans (left ankle) and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (hamstring) were both practicing on Wednesday after each sat out against the Seahawks despite practicing on a limited basis all last week.
Referee Ron Winter and his crew will officiate Sunday’s game between the Ravens and Bengals.

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.
