Practice notes
The Ravens appear pretty healthy heading into Sunday's season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. Three of the four players on Thursday's injury report -- defensive tackle Haloti Ngata (sprained left ankle) and linebackers Brendon Ayanbadejo (sprained toe on right foot) and Dannell Ellerbe (sprained right medial collateral ligament) -- took part in the portion of practice open to the media.
The only player absent was tight end L.J. Smith, who has not practiced the last two days due to a pulled left hamstring.
In a moment of levity, quarterbacks Joe Flacco, Troy Smith and John Beck took turns dunking footballs over the crossbar of the field goal posts behind one end zone. Flacco and Beck put down one-handed jams, but Smith was the clear winner after completing what appeared to be a 360-degree dunk.
