Ravens welcome back several players to practice

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.
