OWINGS MILLS, Md. โ The Ravens ruled three starters questionable for Sundayโs game against the Oakland Raiders after defensive tackle Haloti Ngata and guards Bobbie Williams and Marshal Yanda returned to the practice field on Friday.
As expected, defensive end Pernell McPhee has been ruled out after missing practices all week and missing last weekโs game in Cleveland. He continues to recover from thigh and knee injuries.
Ngata, Williams, and Yanda worked on a limited basis after sitting out workouts on Wednesday and Thursday, improving their chances to see action as the Ravens return to M&T Bank Stadium for the first time in nearly a month.
โThey were out there today, so I do think it helped them,โ Harbaugh said. โThey got a little rest and got healed up a little bit.โ
This marks the third straight game that Ngata has been listed as questionable after he was able to play against Houston in Week 7 and against the Browns last Sunday. The big defensive tackle decline an interview after Fridayโs practice but admitted earlier this week that heโs been limited with knee and shoulder injuries.
Yanda deemed himself โgreatโ after making it through Fridayโs practice. He tweaked his knee and ankle in the 25-15 win over Cleveland.
โI just had to get a flow of things and tempo [practicing] and do it that way. Iโll be good to go.โ
Williams said he expected to play Sunday but was taking his left ankle injury โ the opposite of the one he had surgery on last year โ day by day.
Safety Ed Reed practiced on a limited basis for the second straight day Friday and was listed as probable for Sundayโs game despite dealing with shoulder and knee injuries.
Meanwhile, the Oakland Raiders will be without their top two running backs against Baltimore as Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson were both ruled out with high ankle sprains. Seven-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Richard Seymour was also ruled out with knee and hamstring injuries.
