OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Moving closer to their season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night, the Ravens continue to be in good shape from a health standpoint.
Though rookie cornerback Asa Jackson (illness) joined offensive lineman Jah Reid (calf) as a new absence from the practice field on Friday, the Ravens saw all other players present and accounted for.
Safety Sean Considine (contact) was not sporting a red non-contact jersey during the portion of practice open to the media, which could suggest his chances for playing Monday night have improved. However, it remains unclear whether the veteran defensive back has passed his baseline test to clear him for contact and the Ravens were wearing helmets, shells, and shorts on Friday, which typically signifies no contact.
The team announced it has reached injury settlements to waive linebacker Darryl Blackstock (leg) and offensive lineman Justin Boren (foot), freeing both players from injured reserve.
The Ravens will conduct their final full practice on Saturday at 11:15 a.m. with coach John Harbaugh scheduled to meet with the media following the workout.
Here is Friday’s official injury report:
BALTIMORE
DID NOT PARTICIPATE: OL Jah Reid (leg), Asa Jackson (illness)
FULL PARTICIPATION: LB Courtney Upshaw (shoulder), S Sean Considine (head)
CINCINNATI

Right Now in Baltimore
The Ravens go on the clock with Pick 14 and then move to 'Super Bowl' time
The purple land of hopes and expectations begins on Thursday night with the NFL Draft. Luke Jones and Nestor get you ready for a myriad of draft possibilities and outcomes for Eric DeCosta and the Baltimore Ravens under rookie head coach Jesse Minter. We'll be picking and opining all weekend as spring hopes remain eternal in Owings Mills.
When will the frozen Orioles bats thaw this spring?
Sure, it's not the lineup that manager Craig Albernaz envisioned back in Sarasota in February but the Orioles need to figure out how to stop striking out and start hitting with runners in scoring position. Nestor Aparicio and Luke Jones discussed the Birds' struggles, including a five-game losing streak and scuffling through Kansas City waiting for the roster to get healthier and more productive.
Who can Orioles really count on to "pitch" in as innings add up?
Is there an "ace" in the starting rotation deck for the Baltimore Orioles? Sure, we all believed that Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish would make it look easy and that Shane Baz would pitch to his contract and Chris Bassitt would stabilize the staff and Zach Eflin...and then the season began. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds' pitching depth and scraping by on any win possible in Kansas City.
