OWINGS MILLS, Md. — A day after practicing without incident, Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff was a surprise addition to Thursday’s injury report.
Under much scrutiny due to his struggles kicking on the road this season, Cundiff was listed as a non-participant with a left calf injury. The Ravens do not typically designate an injury on the “left” or “right” side, making the listing a bit more peculiar.
A right-footed kicker, the injury would presumably hamper his ability to plant, which was a factor in his two misses in Cleveland last Sunday.
Center Matt Birk, linebacker Ray Lewis, and cornerback Chris Carr missed their second practice of the week. Birk’s status remains a mystery after he sprained his right shoulder in Sunday’s win over the Browns before returning to the game.
Lewis and Carr are not expected to play against Indianapolis.
A day after receiving rest for the right toe injury he’s dealt with since the season opener, left guard Ben Grubbs returned to the practice field. Wednesday was the first workout Grubbs had missed since making his return in Pittsburgh on Nov. 6 after a six-game absence.

Right Now in Baltimore
From 'The Flu' to flying the Ravens into a Festivus?
Lamar Jackson hasn't practiced on a Wednesday in almost three months. Luke Jones and Nestor continue to spend midweeks discussing the health of the Baltimore Ravens two-time MVP quarterback and how it can't be helping the offensive operation. But, a win against the New England Patriots at home will keep hope alive in a wild and zany finish to the NFL regular season.
Leibovich: On the swamp and racket of The Big Game and bad government
"It's the best book ever written about the modern National Football League," so says Nestor about Big Game. And that's why we love having its author Mark Leibovich back on when his New England Patriots proudly return to Baltimore for some playoff knockout style football. Now with The Atlantic, the longtime political insider for The New York Times is also heavily immersed in Trumplandia and weighs in on the ongoing Epstein saga and the usual D.C. shenanigans.
Gordy pushes the beat to another Grammy nomination
Two-time Grammy Award winning percussionist and Marylander M.B. Gordy returns from Los Angeles to tell Nestor about the beat of his latest – and fourth – Grammy nomination with "Seven Seasons" in the Classical Compendium category.
