OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Mild concern has begun to grow regarding Ray Lewis and his injured foot after the veteran linebacker was absent from practice for the second straight day on Thursday.
The 12-time Pro Bowl selection is still expected to play against the Bengals on Sunday, but his absence for a second consecutive day indicates he was not just given a day off on Wednesday as many speculated.
Wide receiver Lee Evans participated in his fifth straight practice on Thursday, albeit in a limited fashion. The 30-year-old is expected to be a game-time decision after missing the Ravens’ last seven games with a left ankle injury.
Dannell Ellerbe was upgraded to full participation on Thursday, a good indication that the Ravens may see the run-stopping linebacker’s return against a Cincinnati offense that likes to use its running game.
For the Bengals, wide receiver A.J. Green missed his second straight practice with a hyperextended right knee. He has deemed himself a game-time decision against the Ravens.

Profits are up, accountability is down and internal report cards are a no-no for guys like Steve
The NFL continues to rule the sports world even in the slowest of times. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the NFLPA report cards on franchises and transparency and accountability amongst billionaires who can't even get an Epstein List regular who just hired John Harbaugh to come to light and off their ownership ledgers. We'd ask Steve Bisciotti about it, but of course he's evaporated again for a while...
