Practice notes
Good news first: free safety Ed Reed participated in the portion of practice open to the media this afternoon. Reed did not practice yesterday due to a thigh injury.
Now the bad news: wide receiver Derrick Mason was not present due to an illness. With Mason, Demetrius Williams (left Achilles tendon) and Yamon Figurs (left knee contusion) absent from practice, that left just four wideouts on the field today. Only three -- Mark Clayton and rookies Marcus Smith and Ernie Wheelwright -- are on the active roster. Edward Williams is on the practice squad.
There was a moment of levity when Wheelwright threw tight end Edgar Jones to the turf during a special-teams drill. Fellow players erupted in laughs and cheers, and some congratulated Wheelwright.
Comments
If D. Williams only showed up on the post-game stats sheet as often as he appears on the injury report.
If the weather forecast is accurate, there isn't going to be a lot of passing Sunday anyway.
Of course, the weatherman and the media are correct about the same percentage of the time...about a 20% chance :)

Is it required for Ravens "fans" to constantly criticize injured players? Give it a rest!

Thin at WR? I fail to see the problem here - we never use them anyway....
