Webb leaves Monday's practice with hamstring issue

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb left practice early with a hamstring issue on Monday.
The 29-year-old veteran pulled up after being beaten in coverage by rookie receiver Darren Waller for a long touchdown. A few minutes later, Webb left the field under his own power after stopping to say hello to ex-Ravens cornerback and former teammate Chris Carr, who was a visitor to Monday’s practice.
“Webby had a little grab in his hamstring,” head coach John Harbaugh confirmed after practice, “so we pulled him out.”
Webb missed the first full-squad workout of the summer after initially failing his conditioning test, but he had practiced every day since then. Projected to start opposite No. 1 cornerback Jimmy Smith, Webb has struggled in pass coverage at times this summer as he tries to rebound from a disappointing and injury-riddled 2014 campaign.
Rookie wide receiver Breshad Perriman was once again absent as he missed his ninth consecutive practice with a knee sprain. The first-round pick is not expected to play in Thursday’s preseason opener against New Orleans.
The Ravens originally projected Perriman to only miss a day or two when he injured his knee during the first full-squad practice of training camp on July 30. Harbaugh joked that he was set up by the training staff when acknowledging the rookie’s longer-than-expected absence.
“I’ve found that it’s impossible to give you any idea when guys are going to be back, OK?” Harbaugh said. “I’ve been wrong on every single guy so far, and I just want you to know — for the fans out there — I repeat what I’m told by the medical people. I’m not doing any diagnoses here. I’m not doing any examinations. I don’t decide or determine [when] we think they’re going to come back.”
In addition to Perriman, safety Kendrick Lewis (leg), defensive linemen Timmy Jernigan (foot) and DeAngelo Tyson (undisclosed), offensive linemen John Urschel (head) and Robert Myers (head) did not take part in Monday’s practice. Tight end Dennis Pitta (hip) and safety Terrence Brooks (knee) remain on the physically unable to perform list.
The Ravens saw several players return to practice on Monday, including left guard Kelechi Osemele (foot), wide receiver Marlon Brown (back), tight end Maxx Williams (eye), cornerback Tray Walker (hamstring), and linebacker Zach Thompson. Brown had missed six of Baltimore’s previous seven practices.
Harbaugh also said veteran defensive end Chris Canty sat out the latter portion of Monday’s workout due to fatigue.
In their last “aggressive” practice before their first preseason game, the Ravens held out center Jeremy Zuttah and right tackle Rick Wagner from 11-on-11 drills, an indication that the pair might not play against the Saints. Both missed spring workouts due to health reasons as Zuttah underwent offseason hip surgery and Wagner was still recovering from a foot injury suffered last December.
The Ravens said they would be conservative with the two starting offensive linemen to begin the summer.
