MLB replay decision is going to fuel big-market conspiracy theories. Rule says the fan must reach into the field of play to interfere and it looked like those fans were standing upright. Jeffrey Maier in reverse?
After being deactivated Sunday, Ravens OLB Tyus Bowser knows he has to be patient. “You want to go out there and play. You want to go out there with the guys and play hard and make plays. But it is what it is.” (via @EdwardLeeSun ) bsun.md/2RX3jrQ
“You want to go out there there with the guys and play hard and make plays,” said Bowser, 23. “But it is what it is. I’m a player, the coaches coach, and you’ve just got to deal with whatever decisions they have. Whenever your name is called, just be ready.”
Only Ravens guard Alex Lewis (pinched nerve) was not present for the open portion of practice today. WR John Brown, CB Brandon Carr and S Eric Weddle all returned.
Former Ravens cornerback Chris McAlister with the cross-sport comp: "Drew Brees is LeBron James. You know he is going to get 25 points every night. ... You can’t let him scorch you with 50." bsun.md/2AhAJuL
Ravens G Alex Lewis (pinched nerve) missed practice today. CB Anthony Averett (hamstring), CB Marlon Humphrey (thigh) and DB/LB Anthony Levine Sr. (hamstring) were limited.
Could be Humphrey's first time on the injury report in '18. Ravens need their secondary at full strength.
“Just a dynamic player,” middle linebacker C.J. Mosley said of Kamara. “He makes people miss in the open field. He can catch the ball out of the backfield. We know what he does on special teams as far as punt returns and all that.”
Ravens coach John Harbaugh on Marlon Humphrey's thigh injury: "Something did happen in practice [Thursday]. He's getting worked on. We'll just see how it goes at this point."
On whether it was a bigger concern vs. the Saints: "Yeah, we just don't talk about that stuff."
Jimmy Smith entered the season as the Ravens' top cornerback, but Marlon Humphrey has been their highest-rated player at the position, per @PFF . His absence would be felt Sunday. bsun.md/2Aj0wT5
The Ravens ruled out LG Alex Lewis (pinched nerve) for Sunday's game vs. Saints. CB Marlon Humphrey (thigh) did not practice Friday, but is questionable. So are DB Anthony Levine Sr. (hamstring) and rookie CB Anthony Averett (hamstring).
The Saints ruled out LG Andrus Peat (head) for Sunday at the Ravens. RG Larry Warford (back) is questionable. Two more starters in LT Terron Armstead (knee) and CB Marshon Lattimore (concussion) practiced fully Friday and were removed from the injury report.
DT Larry Ogunjobi has twice played over 90 percent of the Browns’ defensive snaps this season. The Ravens don’t have an interior defensive lineman who’s hit 60 percent yet. No wonder they still have that “juice.” bsun.md/2EuAkZQ
Covered the Baltimore Running Festival and interviewed a couple who married before the half-marathon and then ran it, a 92-year-old man who completed his 18th half-marathon, a man who ran his 50th marathon in all 50 states, and a retired Army sergeant who ran in his full uniform.
Took a break from the Ravens to cover the Baltimore Running Festival where an attorney participating in only his fifth competitive marathon and an astrophysicist who began taking part in marathons five years ago won the men's and women's marathon titles.
#Ravens inactives: CB Marlon Humphrey, DT G/T James Hurst, WR Jordan Lasley, G Alex Lewis, CB Anthony Averett, QB Robert Griffin III, DT Zach Sieler. Humphrey is the big one against one of the best passing offenses in the NFL but Hurst will be missed as well.
Ravens just got outmuscled on fourth down call. Saints staying with the run, but maybe it's because they are throwing into wind. Or maybe it's because their pass defense is so weak.
One of the weirdest opening drives you'll ever see -- more than 10 minutes, with three fourth-down conversions and John Harbaugh exhausting his challenges. But the #Ravens held. So, just how they drew it up.
Bradley Bozeman is down on the field. That's the last thing the #Ravens need with the line already down two starters. Looks like Hroniss Grasu will replace him at guard.
I still don't know why Lamar Jackson replaced Flacco on that third down call? Strange. Since Jackson came in I thought the Ravens would go for it on fourth down.
So that was a 17-play #Ravens drive with a conversion on 4th-and-7 and Justin Tucker barely sneaking a 31-yard FG inside the upright. The weirdness continues.
