OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Following a day off, the Ravens returned to work on Sunday with two key veterans rejoining them on the practice field.
Chris Carr was suited up to practice after missing the Ravens’ second preseason game against Kansas City on Friday. The cornerback injured his hamstring last Monday and had missed two days of practice before sitting out against the Chiefs.
Starting right guard Marshal Yanda was also present, working out in a helmet and shorts while the rest of the team practiced in full gear. Coach John Harbaugh is hopeful Yanda will play against the Washington Redskins on Thursday night. Yanda missed five straight practices last week before sitting out against Kansas City.
Linebacker Ray Lewis was also back with the team after being excused due to a family illness. The 36-year-old did not play against the Chiefs on Friday as Dannell Ellerbe started in his place.
Veterans Ed Reed and Jarret Johnson were not practicing on Sunday afternoon. Reed was presumably exercising his liberty to take a day off as he has at several points during training camp.
Others not practicing included defensive back Marcus Paschal (quadriceps), cornerback Chykie Brown (undisclosed), center Matt Birk (knee surgery), and receivers James Hardy (hamstring) and Terrell Zachery (undisclosed).
Two new offensive linemen were on the field Sunday as the Ravens signed veteran tackle Mark LeVoir and center Jason Murphy — a Baltimore native — to add depth. Baltimore released linemen Colin Madison and Kyle Calloway to clear room on the 90-man camp roster.
The Ravens moved practice inside following the opening special teams period with the threat of storms in the area all afternoon.

The June reset for Orioles begins at Fenway
We've seen better baseball from the Baltimore Orioles over the past two weeks and after a 7-3 homestand with some walkoffs and walkovers, Luke Jones and Nestor give the Birds a June "reset" as they head to Fenway Park and then to Skydome in Toronto to tackle more of the AL East, where they hope to make up ground as a sub .500 squad thus far.
Raymond Berry and Nestor discuss the life of Art Donovan and legacy of Baltimore Colts in 2013
When the world lost the outsized spirit that was Arthur Donovan, Nestor turned the WNST airwaves into a public eulogy for the Hall of Fame defensive lineman and Baltimore legend. Another Hall of Famer, Raymond Berry, joined in for the memories and kind words for 'Fatso' and the rest of the Baltimore Colts legends and their legacy in the Charm City and what it meant to catch passes from Johnny Unitas at Memorial Stadium.
