OWINGS MILLS, Md. — With two full days of practice remaining until the Ravens welcome the Kansas City Chiefs to town on Friday night, coach John Harbaugh rested a number of veterans on Tuesday afternoon.
Veterans not working out included Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata, Jarret Johnson, Brendon Ayanbadejo, and Cory Redding. Receiver Anquan Boldin was also sitting out for the second straight day, making it tough to decipher whether Monday was a day of rest or the veteran is dealing with some type of injury.
Right guard Marshal Yanda was absent from the field and has not practice since the Ravens played their preseason opener in Philadelphia last Thursday. He has been dealing with back spams that are not considered serious, according to offensive coordinator Cam Cameron.
Running back Ray Rice was on the field, but not suited up to practice as the Ravens are likely trying to ease his workload during training camp.
The Ravens were also missing two prominent cornerbacks as Lardarius Webb and Chris Carr were not practicing with the rest of their unit. Carr appeared to have an ice pack on his left upper leg, not surprising after he pulled up lame trying to cover receiver Lee Evans on a deep route and did not return to practice on Monday.
Other players missing practice included receiver James Hardy (hamstring), running back Damien Berry (undisclosed), and center Matt Birk (knee surgery).

#ColumnNes: O, no! These Birds laid three Easter eggs in Pittsburgh as the bats blow cold into Chicago
Stink. Stank. Stunk. And suddenly the Baltimore Orioles are 3-6 and headed on a familiar course down, and quickly. Back in December, Craig Albernaz said the Orioles were going to “attack the fundamentals,” the little details, the cleaner brand of baseball that this franchise clearly did not play over the weekend in Pittsburgh. It's getting late early for the good start we all expected around here.
Dear Mike Elias: A brand new season and manager means real fresh hope – and nowhere to hide anymore
I would've fired you last May when you fired your manager and then hid for three days. Your "leadership" stinks but I do believe your baseball team can be a playoff contender this summer. But on the heels of last place, at some point the record belongs to you...
