The Baltimore Ravens had near perfect attendance for their first practice of Week 1.
The first official practice of Week 1 for the Baltimore Ravens began on Sunday and they were just a player shy from perfect attendance. The lone absence was rookie outside linebacker Adisa Isaac, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury.
After being absent on Friday, both safety Eddie Jackson and offensive lineman Patrick Mekari returned to practice. Jackson was absent Friday after his flight was cancelled while Mekari was dealing with “standard operating stuff,” according to Head Coach John Harbaugh.
More good news from The Castle was in view as starting center Tyler Linderbaum is no longer wearing a red no-contact jersey. Linderbaum returned to practice on August 26, but was limited. Now, he’s cleared for contact and more likely to play on Thursday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Entering the season healthy was a priority for the Ravens—as it is across the NFL—but it was imperative the team had their best healthy for the season’s beginning with a mighty challenging schedule to kick off the year.
