OWINGS MILLS, Md. โ€” The Ravens were making final preparations for the Miami Dolphins on Friday and listed a total of nine players as questionable on the final injury report of the week including cornerback Lardarius Webb and wide receiver Jacoby Jones.
Webb and wide receivers Deonte Thompson and Marlon Brown were listed as questionable on Fridayโ€™s injury report after they missed practices on Wednesday and Thursday while recovering from injuries sustained last Sunday, but they all worked on a limited basis in the final full workout of the week. Webb sat out the second half against the Bills after suffering a hamstring injury but was doing some backpedal work and riding the stationary bike during the portion of practice open to media.
โ€œVery encouraging [to have them back at practice],โ€ coach John Harbaugh said. โ€œIt was good to see those guys out there, and [it] made for a better practice, too.โ€
Also dealing with a hamstring injury all week, Brown was doing plenty of running and appeared to be moving well during the special-teams part of practice. The rookie wideout said he felt good with the hamstring following Fridayโ€™s practice.
Jones (knee) was present and working for the third straight day of practice after being sidelined since Sept. 5 with a right MCL sprain, but the Pro Bowl return specialist was noncommital regarding his status against the Dolphins.
โ€œI donโ€™t know. Iโ€™ll leave it up to the trainers and the coaches,โ€ Jones said. โ€œYouโ€™re trying to get me in trouble with John Harbaugh โ€” I canโ€™t answer that question. Iโ€™m trying to ease the process [of coming back].โ€
Thompson was on the field for the first time since sustaining a concussion in the fourth quarter of last Sundayโ€™s game, but he was suited up and participating during the special-teams portion of practice. Harbaugh said after practice that Thompson had passed the concussion protocol test, but he hadnโ€™t yet been fully cleared for Sundayโ€™s game.
โ€œHeโ€™s got to go through the practice,โ€ Harbaugh said. โ€œThen, weโ€™ve got to check his symptoms out.โ€
In addition to those four, wide receiver Brandon Stokley, linebackers Arthur Brown and Albert McClellan, defensive lineman Marcus Spears, and running back Shaun Draughn were all designated as questionable to play in Sundayโ€™s game.
The Ravens were without five players during the opening portion of Fridayโ€™s workout as Stokley (groin), Spears (knee), McClellan (shoulder), defensive tackle Terrence Cody (knee), and offensive lineman Ryan Jensen (foot) werenโ€™t participating. Stokley had practiced on a limited basis all week after being inactive for Week 4, and Spears appeared on the injury report for the first time on Thursday after he walked off the field gingerly at the start of practice.
Cody and Jensen were both listed as doubtful on the Friday injury report and arenโ€™t expected to play in Miami.
The Dolphins listed standout defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) as questionable for Sundayโ€™s game after he practiced on a limited basis all week. Former Ravens linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (knee) is probable against his former team.
As for the status of newly-acquired left tackle Eugene Monroe, Harbaugh said they havenโ€™t made any decision in terms of his availability to play against the Dolphins. The 26-year-old stayed at the teamโ€™s Owings Mills facility late into the night on Thursday to work with the offensive line staff in hopes of getting up to speed as soon as possible, according to Harbaugh.
โ€œThe main thing is how he feels about it, if he feels confident that he can execute,โ€ said Harbaugh, who acknowledged not being sure what the realistic timetable is to get Monroe on the field for the Ravens. โ€œThe good thing is he know what itโ€™s like to play. If he gives us feedback, and he says heโ€™s comfortable and can go, I would think weโ€™d be very confident that he knows what heโ€™s talking about.โ€
An encouraging sign for the Ravens during Fridayโ€™s practice was the presence of Dennis Pitta, who was catching passes from the Jugs machine. The fourth-year tight end was dressed in a T-shirt and shorts and was able to twist his body as he caught passes from the machine, but he did not do any jogging or running during the session.
Pitta remains on injured reserve with the designation to return, making him eligible to return to practice after the first six weeks of the regular season and to play in games after eight weeks. However, it is not believed that Pitta would be able to return until later in the season after he dislocated his hip on July 27, an injury that forced him to undergo immediate surgery.
โ€œIโ€™m pretty impressed,โ€ Harbaugh said. โ€œHeโ€™s running quite a bit on these machines, and heโ€™s out here catching passes. [A potential return] is a ways away, time-wise. Every time I see Dennis, I guess I have mixed emotions. Iโ€™m happy that heโ€™s doing well, and Iโ€™m not happy that heโ€™s not already out there playing right now. Heโ€™s doing a good job.โ€
The referee for Sundayโ€™s game between the Ravens and Dolphins will be Carl Cheffers.
The forecast in Miami calls for temperatures in the mid-80s with a 30 percent chance of isolated thunderstorms.
Hereโ€™s the final injury report of the week:
