Notable absences from today's session

The Ravens are currently finishing up the last of three days of minicamp. No brawls to report -- at least not yet -- but a couple of notable absences.

Perhaps the most noticeable was Todd Heap. It wasn't clear why Heap joined the long list of injured tight ends, including Daniel Wilcox (rehabbing from toe surgery) and Quinn Sypniewski (out for the season with a knee injury), but it certainly brought the team's shortage at that key position to an even higher level of concern.

Another position that was depleted today is cornerback, where newly acquired Fabian Washington and Frank Walker sat out the morning workout. David Pittman, who was seen wearing a boot on his left foot, also didn't practice.

I have to get back out there in case O'Neil Cousins and Amon Gordon go for Round 2.

Maybe Ogden might come back and play tight end. I know one thing if you think you can count on TODD HEAP playing every game then you are just kidding yourself. I can't believe this team didn't address the Tight end position in the draft.
