OWINGS MILLS, Md. — A week that started out troubling for the Ravens from a health standpoint turned out just fine as five defensive starters have been listed as probable on the final injury report of the week.
Safety Bernard Pollard (ribs), cornerback Lardarius Webb (knee), linebackers Jameel McClain (knee) and Paul Kruger (back), defensive end Pernell McPhee (knee), and left tackle Michael Oher all practiced fully on Friday before being listed as probable to play against the New England Patriots on Sunday night.
Offensive lineman Jah Reid has been ruled doubtful and was listed as a non-participant in Friday’s practice despite wearing a helmet and shell and appearing to take part in some drills during the portion of practice open to the media. He will not play on Sunday night.
Meanwhile, the Patriots officially ruled out tight end Aaron Hernandez, who left their Week 2 loss against the Arizona Cardinals with an ankle injury, and backup defensive tackle Justin Francis (ankle).
