LB C.J. Mosley (bone bruise in left knee), DT Willie Henry (hernia surgery) and TE Hayden Hurst (stress fracture in foot) were absent from the portion of Ravens practice on Friday open to the media. Mosley had been limited in Thursday's session.
NT Michael Pierce (foot) and LB Tim Williams (illness) returned to Ravens practice Friday. Pierce had sat out Wednesday and Thursday, while Williams missed Thursday. RB Alex Collins (illness), LB Matthew Judon (hamstring) and LT Ronnie Stanley (right elbow) were present.
Forgot to note that LB Terrell Suggs and CB Anthony Averett were also absent. Suggs is likely enjoying a day off as a veteran. Averett's absence is unknown.
Five questions on Ravens vs. Broncos with @denverpost beat writer @ryanohalloran , including why Demaryius Thomas is probably not the Ravens' biggest or second-biggest concern at wide receiver. bsun.md/2QOEDRS
Anthony Levine Sr. was wearing a No. 2 jersey with a "CO CAP" nameplate today at practice, no doubt an homage to his reunion with Albert McClellan. Bert gave him the name. #ravensbsun.md/2zmhLmc
RB Alex Collins (knee), LB Za'Darius Smith (undetermined), LB Tim Williams (hamstring) and CB Anthony Averett (hamstring) did not participate in the portion of #Ravens practice we observed.
Four #Ravens absent from open portion of practice: RB Alex Collins (knee), OLB Za'Darius Smith, OLB Tim Williams (hamstring) and CB Anthony Averett (hamstring). WR John Brown, WR Michael Crabtree, G Marshal Yanda, CB Brandon Carr, DB Anthony Levine Sr. and S Eric Weddle all back.
Early story on Jimmy Smith's return from suspension: “I was devastated for the simple fact that I'd be missing games, It sucks to miss games. I feel like I let my team down. So that part of it, yeah, it hurts. Really hurts.” bsun.md/2OEnxrC
With Pierce and Williams out and Za’Darius Smith potentially limited by a hamstring injury, the #Ravens are missing a lot of their pass-rushing punch. Chance for Tyus Bowser to step up and for Willie Henry to re-assert himself.
Ravens have been getting a lot of one deep coverage which has allowed them a lot of one on one opportunities. Browns have played well in secondary but WR Michael Crabtree has to hold onto the ball.
Bad decision by Flacco on that interception. Even if it hadn't been tipped, Boyle was covered by two guys. Second straight week with a bad mistake by the #Ravens near the goal line.
Tony Jefferson is having another big game today for the #Ravens . Four tackles, one for loss, and he's been really aggressive near the line of scrimmage. That's the player Ravens thought they signed last year.
The #Ravens have to be frustrated. They played much of the first half on Cleveland's end of the field, yet they're fixing to go to the locker room down 3.
#Ravens hold on to their no-TD in the second half streak by the skin of their teeth. Willie Henry sacked Mayfield on third down in his first game back from hernia surgery.

#Ravens have faced a lot of long third downs today and they're 2-for-11. Big change from last week when they badly outplayed the Steelers on third downs.
