OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens received good news on Thursday’s injury report with left guard Ben Grubbs returning to practice for the first time since starting in the season-opening win over Pittsburgh on Sept. 11.
Grubbs returned to the practice field on a limited basis and deemed himself a game-time decision earlier in the day. The fifth-year lineman had not missed a game in his career before sitting out against Tennessee and St. Louis the last two weeks.
As expected, center Matt Birk and defensive end Cory Redding were only receiving a day off on Wednesday before returning as full participants a day later.
The New York Jets also received promising news on the injury front as cornerback Antonio Cromartie was a full participant on Thursday and deemed himself ready to play despite suffering bruised lungs and ribs in a loss against the Oakland Raiders last weekend.
However, the Jets placed wide receiver Plaxico Burress on the Thursday injury report as a limited participant with a hamstring injury.
