Jets WR Breshad Perriman in concussion protocol

Tight end Tucker Kraft took a couple of hard hits during the joint practice, including one that was flagged for a late hit. He didn't seem to mind or think it was dirty. "I needed some contact like that to wake up the nervous system and get ready for Week 1," said Kraft, who won't play in any preseason games but is expected to be full go for the opener. Kraft, who is coming off ACL surgery, practiced despite not having a contract extension done yet. "I would say we're on the same page that we'd like to get it done as soon as possible, prior to Week 1, for sure," Kraft said.

This strengthens the case for drafting Kraft as a top-five tight end despite the relatively recent ACL tear. Barring a setback, he should avoid the limited early-season role that had been the risk following early-summer quotes.

Nabers unexpectedly walked off with a trainer approximately 20 minutes before Wednesday’s practice ended. He had handled a full workload before leaving.

John Harbaugh said the departure was not planned, but Nabers was not included in the trainers’ post-practice injury report. Harbaugh subsequently stated that “there’s no injury.” The situation drew additional attention because Nabers is returning from ACL and meniscus surgery.

The explicit denial of an injury makes this a reassuring update, although any unplanned departure involving a player returning from major knee surgery warrants documentation. Nabers remains our current WR12.

Jesse Minter said all of the Ravens’ young players have made “tremendous” strides in camp.

On injury front, Zay Flowers and Zion Young were held out for precautionary reasons. They’ll be ready Week 1.

Bilhal Kone might play Friday. He’s dealing with a minor injury, per Minter.

The lack of a disclosed diagnosis makes Flowers worth monitoring, but the team’s explicit Week 1 expectation keeps this firmly in the precautionary category.
