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.”

Scar tissue from 2025 doing Orioles no favors navigating underwhelming start
Nine games shouldn’t change one’s expectations for 2026, but you'd like to see a few more encouraging signs in the midst of a 3-6 start.
Discussing the disgust with Orioles lost Easter weekend in Pittsburgh
There were not many signs of life in Pittsburgh this weekend for the scuffling Baltimore Orioles, who were swept by the Pirates and are headed to to frigid Chicago with ice cold bats. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss with disgust the Orioles lost Easter weekend at The Confluence.
#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.
