Ravens' injury list is long
As indicated in an earlier post, three-fourths of the Ravens’ starting secondary did not practice this afternoon.
Free safety Ed Reed and cornerbacks Samari Rolle and Fabian Washington have been dealing with injuries over the last several weeks. Reed and Rolle have played despite a balky hamstring and ankle, respectively, while Washington sat out Sunday's 27-7 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars because of a hyperextended toe.
Wide receivers Derrick Mason (sore trapezius muscle/dislocated left shoulder) and Mark Clayton (knee), linebacker Jarret Johnson (left calf) and defensive tackle Justin Bannan (foot) also did not take part in practice.
Right guard Chris Chester (back), linebacker Antwan Barnes (strained pectoral muscle), running back Ray Rice (left shin contusion), safety Tom Zbikowski (thigh) and kicker Matt Stover (sprained right ankle) were limited.
The Miami Dolphins, Sunday’s opponent, listed only tight end David Martin (head/neck) and defensive end Randy Starks (ankle) as not having practiced.
Comments
Just another reason to thank the Ravens and appreciate what these players have accomplished this season. Looking at these injuries and keeping in mind the IR roster makes me proud and honored to be a Ravens fan. And to remain objective and honest about it I would be remiss if I didn't give all NFL teams and their respective fans the same credit because they all battle the same physical adversity. But that is where I draw the line with mutual praise for enemies of the Ravens!!!
Happy New Year Baltimore, peace.
