OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Taking part in what amounted to little more than a walk-through ahead of Thursday’s preseason opener against New Orleans, the Ravens welcomed back two members of their starting secondary to practice.
Cornerback Lardarius Webb (hamstring) and free safety Kendrick Lewis (leg) were present and working as the Ravens practiced at half-speed in helmets, shells, and shorts on Tuesday. Webb had left practice early on Monday after pulling up gimpy covering a deep route while Lewis was absent on Monday after tweaking his leg midway through Saturday’s workout.
With both players missing minimal practice time, they would appear to remain good bets to be able to play against the Saints.
Wide receiver Breshad Perriman (knee), offensive linemen John Urschel (concussion) and Robert Myers (concussion), and defensive linemen Timmy Jernigan (foot), DeAngelo Tyson (strain), and Christo Bilukidi (undisclosed) did not take part in Tuesday’s practice. Tight end Dennis Pitta (hip) and safety Terrence Brooks (knee) remain on the active physically unable to perform list as we approach the first preseason game.
Periman missed his 10th consecutive practice after spraining his knee in the first full-squad workout of the summer and will not play in the preseason opener. The Ravens originally estimated the rookie first-round pick would only miss a couple days.
Head coach John Harbaugh did not specify where Tyson’s injury was, but he indicated the reserve defensive tackle still had a chance to play on Thursday.

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.
