OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Moving closer to the all-important third preseason game of the summer against the Washington Redskins, the Ravens continued to be banged up along the offensive line with six players missing.
The left side of the starting offensive line is ailing as tackle Eugene Monroe and guard Kelechi Osemele were not present during the portion of practice open to media. Osemele has dealt with an Achilles tendon issue that has forced him in and out of practices and games at different times over the last three weeks. Meanwhile, Monroe appeared to injure his arm in Saturday’s preseason loss to Philadelphia.
Baltimore was also without reserve offensive linemen James Hurst (concussion), De’Ondre Wesley (knee), Darryl Baldwin, and Blaine Clausell during Tuesday’s workout.
The secondary was missing two of its top four cornerbacks as Lardarius Webb (hamstring) and Rashaan Melvin (undisclosed) were not practicing. Melvin appeared to injure himself during the special-teams portion of Monday’s session, but head coach John Harbaugh wasn’t aware of any injury when asked about him at the end of the workout.
Wide receivers Breshad Perriman (knee) and Michael Campanaro (soft tissue injury), running back Lorenzo Taliaferro (knee), cornerback Tramain Jacobs (undisclosed), and linebacker Steven Means (groin) were also missing from Tuesday’s practice.
Defensive lineman Kapron Lewis-Moore (undisclosed) returned to practice after missing Saturday’s preseason game.

Right Now in Baltimore
Podcasts, Pearl Jam passion and the present tense with The Mayne Event
They met on the backstretch at Pimlico three decades ago and The Mayne Event always returns and never disappoints for sports, comedy, charity and why Eddie Vedder shouldn't trust Nestor. Longtime ESPNer Kenny Mayne checks in for another round of tales of wiffle ball with Ken Griffey, podcasts with the other Manning and still being pissed off about the Sonics (and Pilots) departure from Seattle.
Running back Tampa 25 years later with Ravens RB coach Matt Simon
These milestones continue to add up as the 25th anniversary of the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl XXXV win is coming later this month and Nestor is catching up with many of the Purple Reign legacies about life – on and off the field – as we celebrate the night we all felt the civic pride of that first miracle in Tampa. Reflections here with the man who coached Jamal Lewis, Priest Holmes, Sam Gash and Femi Ayanbadejo a quarter of a century ago.
The Ravens weren't good enough on the field
Firing the head coach and changing leadership will certainly create an interesting offseason in Owings Mills. No one covers the Xs and Os of the NFL like Mike Tanier of Too Deep Zone. The one-time geometry teacher of Joe Flacco joins Nestor to discuss the depth and salary cap numbers of the Baltimore Ravens roster and the structural changes Eric DeCosta will need even after Steve Bisciotti finds a new captain to lead Lamar Jackson.
