Seven Ravens starters missing from Wednesday's practice

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Turning the page with new offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg after a two-game losing streak, the Ravens were without seven starting players for Wednesday’s practice.
Wide receiver Steve Smith (ankle), inside linebacker C.J. Mosley (hamstring), offensive tackles Rick Wagner (thigh) and Ronnie Stanley (foot), outside linebackers Terrell Suggs (non-injury) and Elvis Dumervil (foot), and guard Marshal Yanda (shoulder) were absent during the portion of practice open to reporters on Wednesday morning. Suggs received a veteran day off and was available to reporters on Wednesday.
How many will be available for the Week 6 meeting with the New York Giants remains to be seen.
“As far as any of the injury stuff, I’m sure you guys saw who was practicing and who is not and all of that,” head coach John Harbaugh said. “I’m just not going to get into any of that right now. There are various reasons for different guys.”
Smith, Mosley, and Wagner all left Sunday’s game against Washington with injuries. The reappearance of Dumervil on the injury report has to be a concern after quiet performances in his first two games since making his return from offseason foot surgery.
The newly re-signed Vlad Ducasse was working with an offensive line group that was without three starters during the workout. It will be interesting to see how the Ravens might line up against the Giants should Stanley miss his third straight game and Wagner not be able to play. In the second half of Sunday’s loss to Washington, Yanda shifted to right tackle with Ryan Jensen entering the game at right guard when Wagner could not continue after halftime.
Concerns about the injured offensive linemen only grew in the late afternoon when the Ravens claimed former Miami guard Billy Turner off waivers. Baltimore released linebacker Chris Carter to make room on the 53-man roster.
As he did last week, Stanley expressed optimism that he could make his return this week, but the 2016 first-round pick acknowledged he would need at least a little bit of work on the practice field before Sunday.
“I believe one would be fine enough for me,” Stanley said. “It’s really all mental, especially at this level figuring out what the guy that you’re going against likes to do and his tendencies and what not and really the whole defensive scheme. That’s just through studying and film work.”
Wide receiver Mike Wallace (ribs) was practicing on Wednesday, but he was wearing a red non-contact vest over his jersey. He took a hard shot to the chest area on the Ravens’ final offensive play against the Redskins.
“I’m a little sore, but that’s football,” Wallace said. “I’ll be alright for the game though. That’s normal — a normal week’s work. Sometimes you get hit hard in some games more than others, but I’ll be fine. I’ll be ready to go Sunday.”
The Giants are also feeling the effects of a number of injuries with four starters not participating in Wednesday’s practice. That list included two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, who is dealing with a groin injury.
