Four Ravens starters miss practice
Wide receiver Derrick Mason (dislocated left shoulder), free safety Ed Reed (neck), cornerback Samari Rolle (shoulder surgery) and left offensive tackle Jared Gaither (shoulder) did not practice this afternoon. Reed and Rolle are likely to play, while the outlook for Mason and Gaither is not as rosy for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Right offensive tackle Willie Anderson (sprained left ankle), tight end Daniel Wilcox (thigh) and rookie safety Tom Zbikowski (thumb/thigh) were limited in practice.
Wide receiver Terrance Copper (neck) has been ruled out.
Comments
Time for Clayton, Figures and Heap to step it up and let Mason sit the next game or two out. Mase has been a warrior this season but he needs to get healthy (ironic that he got hurt during what should have been the Ravens bye week). The Ravens should be able to run the ball this week and will have to rely on the running game to take the pressure off of Flacco. It's a good sign that Anderson was back in practice, even if he was limited. Him and Terry need to step it up as well.
