OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Moving closer to their second preseason game against Indianapolis on Saturday, the Ravens continue to be without an extensive list of players in practice.
Sixteen players were absent from the field on Tuesday morning, a list that included wide receiver Chris Matthews (soft tissue), tight ends Dennis Pitta (finger), Daniel Brown, and Maxx Williams, offensive linemen John Urschel and Rick Wagner, defensive backs Kendrick Lewis, Kyle Arrington (head), Sheldon Price, Sam Brown, and Tavon Young (hamstring), and defensive end Bronson Kaufusi (broken ankle). Wide receivers Steve Smith (Achilles tendon) and Breshad Perriman (knee), linebacker Elvis Dumervil (foot), and running back Lorenzo Taliaferro (foot) remain on the active physically unable to perform list.
According to head coach John Harbaugh, Urschel is dealing with a contusion and hasn’t participated in practice since starting at left guard in the preseason opener, but the injury is not a long-term concern. Wagner participated in Monday’s practice without incident, making it likely that he was receiving a veteran day off.
Veteran linebacker Terrell Suggs was present and participating for the second straight day in his return to the field after an 11-month absence from of a torn Achilles tendon.
“A lot of the plan is based on how he feels about it,” Harbaugh said. “Here’s a guy that has played 13 years in the National Football League. He knows what he needs. He did more than he did yesterday, and he’ll do more tomorrow than he did today.”
Wide receiver Chris Moore (foot) was practicing for the first time since July 29. His return is good news after the rookie had turned heads with his play-making ability over the first couple days of training camp.
With Perriman still recovering from a partially-torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, a healthy Moore becomes a more intriguing deep threat to complement veteran Mike Wallace.
“He’s made some plays down the field, but he’s also shown route-running ability and shown willingness to block,” Harbaugh said. “We have to get him back on track. Now we have to get him back out there. He was in individual [drills] today. We have to build on that. He is a rookie. He has a lot of work to do to be ready to do that, but he has potential.”
There were several special visitors at Tuesday’s practice, ranging from former Ravens Rob Burnett and Matt Stover to former New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin. Former Pro Bowl kicker David Akers was also present and will work with the Baltimore kickers for a few days, according to Harbaugh.
