Practice notes

With quarterbacks Kyle Boller (shoulder) and Troy Smith (illness) sidelined by their respective ailments, rookie Joe Flacco appeared to throw all the passes during the portion of practice open to the media this afternoon.

Boller was on the field, but he seemed to touch his right shoulder a couple times.

In a related note, wide receiver Demetrius Williams, who is still on the physically unable to perform list with a lower left leg injury, took part in individual drills and appeared to run and cut with little difficulty.

Other observations:

* Defensive tackle Dwan Edwards, who did not play in the Ravens' 24-10 loss to the St. Louis Rams on Saturday night, was not at today's practice. No reason has been given for his absence.

Others who did not make it to the practice field during the portion of practice open to the media included: defensive tackles Kelly Gregg (arthroscopic knee surgery) and Kelly Talavou (dislocated right shoulder); cornerbacks Fabian Washington (hamstring) and Derrick Martin (right shoulder); running back Willis McGahee (arthroscopic knee surgery); rookie linebacker Tavares Gooden (concussion).

* Players who watched practice from the sideline included: free safety Ed Reed (shoulder); linebacker Terrence Melton (right hand); and rookie wide receiver Marcus Smith (separated right shoulder).

Smith said his shoulder will likely keep him out of Thursday's final preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Wait, I am not seeing Dan Cody on the "did not practice" list. Did that mean he ACTUALLY practiced? Or is he at the point where the coaches do not even bother mentioning that he did not practice because it is a given?

LOL Patrick...thats exactly what I was thinking when I read this...or maybe a mis-print.

Cody practiced, but in a special protective body cast.

Dan Cody wasn't seen at practice today because he was hiding from the Turk. Don't worry Danny..., he'll find you.

Did Willis look hung over?

Cody actually played Saturday against the Rams. He did a serviceable job, from what I could tell.

Bart Scott, Ray Lewis, and Ray Rice the ONLY likely starters to practice every snap? Oh my this is BAD!
I hope we are 1-15, trade some of this away and draft like there is no tomorrow. I would rather be 4-12 with some young winners than this nonsense.

You knew this was going to happen as soon Ryan was hired, shredding Harbaugh's authority. The Stars then knew they were in control (they wanted ryan) and could do preety much as they pleased. As I predicted, they would have none of this harder training camp.

The players have spoken , there is no respect for Harbaugh...........The veterans will just be collecting checks this year , many of Ozzie's boys are good at that..
