OWINGS MILLS, Md. — It would be silly to say the Ravens are truly healthy with 20 players currently on injured reserve, but they did finally reach a first for the 2015 season on Thursday.
Continuing preparations for the season finale against Cincinnati, the Ravens did not have a single player miss practice for an injury-related for the first time all season. Linebacker Daryl Smith received his regular veteran day off on Thursday, but all other members of the current 53-man roster were present and working.
Linebacker Albert McClellan (ankle) returned to practice for the first time in over two weeks while fullback Kyle Juszczyk was a full participant after dealing with an illness on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the Bengals are in good shape beyond the extended absence of starting quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb). Quarterback AJ McCarron (left wrist) and tight end Tyler Eifert (concussion) were full participants on Thursday, but wide receiver Marvin Jones (hamstring) and defensive end Carlos Dunlap (hamstring) were again limited for the second straight day.
Below is Thursday’s full injury report:
