Friday: Off The Field
The first big scare of training camp occurred when tight end Todd Heap was pushed to the ground and was slow to get up. You could hear the crowd let out a collective, "Oh no."
Heap initially favored his right ankle but he quickly walked it off. Still, the Ravens got him to the sideline quickly to check it out. Heap soon returned to the field, and everyone got to breathe normally again.
SCRIMMAGE TIME: The Ravens will have their scrimmage against the Washington Redskins tomorrow at noon at M&T Bank Stadium. If you're upset that all the regular-season tickets sold out so quickly, here's your chance to get to watch the Ravens on their home turf without having to call Stub Hub. Plenty of tickets are available, and it's general admission.
It's unknown how long the starters will play. Coach Brian Billick said the heat could cut down on how long the scrimmage goes.
INJURY REPORT: Don't expect guard Ben Grubbs (knee), nose tackle Kelly Gregg (bruise) and linebacker Antwan Barnes (ankle) to play in the scrimmage. Billick essentially ruled out all of them.
OFFICIAL TIME: A crew of NFL officials were on the field for today's practice, letting players know if there were penalties that occurred. You know it's just training camp because Billick was shaking hands with the officials instead of cussing them out.
Billick said he didn't think there were any special rules of emphasis this year. "It's pretty straight-forward," Billick said.
