PHILADELPHIA — The Ravens enter their second preseason game of the summer against the Philadelphia Eagles with injury concerns along the offensive line.
Left guard Kelechi Osemele (Achilles) and right tackle Rick Wagner (leg) were not suited up to play during pre-game warmups, meaning Ryan Jensen and James Hurst were in line to start at their respective positions. Four reserve linemen were also out with injuries including John Urschel (concussion), Jah Reid (back), Darryl Baldwin, and Blaine Clausell.
Baltimore was also missing two starters on the opposite side of the ball as cornerback Lardarius Webb (hamstring) and defensive end Chris Canty were not suited up to play. Webb has been sidelined since before the first preseason game while Canty has been participated in practices, making one speculate that the 32-year-old’s absence is based more on his veteran status.
Cornerback Jimmy Smith (foot) and safety Terrence Brooks (knee) went through pre-game warmups and appear set to make their preseason debuts. Smith was held out of the first preseason game for precautionary reasons while Brooks was activated from the physically unable to perform list earlier this week.
As expected, rookie wide receiver Breshad Perriman will not play against the Eagles as he remains sidelined with a knee injury suffered on July 30. Joining him on the sideline is second-year wideout Michael Campanaro, who did not take part in Friday’s walk-through practice in Philadelphia.
The referee for Saturday’s game is Jerome Boger.
The Ravens are wearing purple jerseys with white pants while Philadelphia dons its white tops with white pants.
Baltimore is 47-29 in all-time preseason play and 20-9 under Harbaugh. The Ravens and the Eagles are meeting in the preseason for the 12th time with Baltimore owning a 7-4 record.
Teams are not required to release a list of inactive for preseason games, but below is an unofficial list of Ravens players on the 90-man roster who are not expected to play on Saturday night:
