OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Despite working on a short week in preparation for a Thanksgiving meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens appear to be as healthy as they’ve been all season with only two players on the injury report for a second straight day.
Defensive end Chris Canty (shoulder) was a limited participant for a second straight day after briefly leaving Sunday’s win over the New York Jets while rookie reserve safety Brynden Trawick continues to be sidelined by an ankle injury suffered in the first quarter of the Week 12 win.
The good news for the Ravens is the improving health of defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, who is no longer appearing on the injury report after dealing with a left knee injury for the better part of two weeks. The eighth-year defensive lineman made it through the Jets contest without any issues after being a game-time decision.
“It actually stayed loose throughout the game and it loosened up more, so it felt good,” Ngata said. “It was great to get back on the field, and our schedule is great this week for this game Thursday [with] a lot of mental [preparation] and just trying to get ready for the Pittsburgh game.”
Meanwhile, the Steelers are dealing with nagging injuries on the defensive side of the ball as nose tackle Steve McLendon (ankle) has already been ruled out and linebacker LaMarr Woodley (calf) was limited during Tuesday’s practice.
