OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Returning to practice after a quick turnaround from the Monday loss in Arizona, the Ravens saw several players returning to the field.
Safeties Kendrick Lewis (knee) and Terrence Brooks (thumb), tight end Maxx Williams (knee/ankle), and left guard Kelechi Osemele (knee) were all present and working for what amounted to a walk-through practice on Wednesday. Of those four, Osemele was the only player to play against the Cardinals, but he left the game in the fourth quarter and did not return.
After leaving Monday’s game with a shoulder injury, starting left tackle Eugene Monroe was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday and was only an observer during the walk-through practice. Second-year tackle James Hurst would likely start in Monroe’s place if he’s not ready to play against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
Only two other Baltimore players were absent from practice on Wednesday: cornerback Tray Walker (concussion) and wide receiver Breshad Perriman (knee).
Tight end Dennis Pitta (hip) began his second week of practice, but it remains unclear when or if he will be activated from the physically unable to perform list. On Oct. 21, the 30-year-old entered a 21-day window in which he may practice before the Ravens must either elevate him to the 53-man roster or leave him on the PUP list for the remainder of the season.
“It’s up to Dennis,” head coach John Harbaugh said. “You guys saw him out here today in the pre-part of the practice when you guys were watching, so you got to see him move a little bit. But it really is up to Dennis at this point.”
Meanwhile, San Diego was without four starters on Wednesday as eight-time Pro Bowl tight end Antonio Gates (knee), three-time Pro Bowl safety Eric Weddle (groin), inside linebacker Manti Te’o (ankle), and left guard Orlando Franklin (ankle) sat out.
Below is Wednesday’s full injury report:

Right Now in Baltimore
Leivovich: 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.
Hail, hail Halethorpe! A Honey of a spot to shoot pool, watch the game and taste fresh flavor
This stands as a warning to anyone who invites Nestor by their place for the Maryland Crab Cake Tour: you're an invite and a taste away because he's en route to meet more great local folks who want to promote their business. Owner Soo Mi Kang of Honey's in Halethorpe invited us over and must've known that offering "Crabby Toast" would invoke the legend of Charles Markwood Eckman. Competitive billiards, great food and the game is always on at this old-school joint on the south side.
