OWINGS MILLS, Md. — After being excused from the Ravens as he deals with a death in the family, defensive end Pernell McPhee was absent from practice for the second straight day Monday.
With only seven other players absent due to injury reasons, the Ravens continue to look healthier as they continue preparations for their third preseason game of the summer on Thursday night.
Offensive lineman Jah Reid (calf), linebackers Josh Bynes (back) and Terrell Suggs (Achilles tendon), tight ends Ed Dickson (shoulder) and Dennis Pitta (hand), wide receiver David Reed (knee), and defensive lineman Ryan McBean (ankle) didn’t work during Monday afternoon’s practice.
Wide receiver Torrey Smith (ankle) practiced for the second straight day after missing Friday’s preseason game while recovering from a sprained ankle.
Linebacker Sergio Kindle (shoulder) continued to sport a red mesh jersey — indicating no contact — after suffering a stinger against Detroit. Safety Sean Considine initially wasn’t wearing a red jersey at the start of practice but wore one in team drills for the second straight day.
“The doctors say he got dinged [on Friday]; he says he didn’t,” coach John Harbaugh said. “So, we’re going with the doctors. We’re going with the ding, so he’s got the red jersey.”

Right Now in Baltimore
Third time is a charm? The dream of Weaver comes back to Baltimore, again
We're so old that we remember when young Anthony Weaver was a Baltimore Ravens draft pick from Notre Dame and NFL hopeful playing on the defensive line. With rookie head coach Jesse Minter calling the plays for the defense, he turned to a trusted Owings Mills veteran in bringing Weaver back for third time to the organization as the new defensive coordinator. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the decision and the personnel in making it work.
The fresh faces of Santa Clara and Super Bowl LX
It's not Belichick and Brady or The Legion of Boom but the franchises look familiar even if the matchup in Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara feels like old blood. Luke Jones and Nestor preview a compelling if not star-studded affair as the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are doing it with fresh faces and familiar old friends.
When the NFL offensive coordinator is the same age as the quarterback
The new King of The Castle has begun to assemble his coaching staff and the Jesse Minter organization includes a 29-year old, first-time offensive coordinator and play caller in Declan Doyle, who will be charged with maximizing the efficiency of Lamar Jackson as the Baltimore Ravens retool everything with a new head coach. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss what that might look like with some new personnel, which will be the next phase of the young offseason.
