The Baltimore Ravens kicked off another week of practice on Monday as they gear up to take on the Washington Football team in their final game of the 2021 preseason. It was mostly a good day for Baltimore, especially because tackle Ronnie Stanley went through a full practice for the first time since suffering a serious ankle injury in the middle of the 2020 season. However, James Proche II did leave early with what head coach John Harbaugh classified as cramps.
Ronnie Stanley participated in whole practice for Ravens. Ben Cleveland did just individual stuff. James Proche appeared to tweak something. He didn’t participate in last 45 mins of practice.

Aside from that injury news, it was reportedly a rough day for the offensive unit, but some players did impress.
It was a rough day for Lamar Jackson and the offense. Seemed like a practice with a lot of mesh/crosser concepts, and he wasn’t as locked in as he normally has been.
No picks for any quarterbacks, but a lot of passes off hands and far in front of targets.

JK Dobbins had the best catch of practice, reaching back across his body for a one-handed snag on a 15-yard catch downfield.
Other than the fumble last week, he’s shown rock-solid hands all camp.

Thirty minutes after practice ended today, Justin Houston was still on the field, tutoring Ravens rookies Odafe Oweh and Daelin Hayes through some pass-rush drills. Ravens players have spoken very highly about Houston's leadership since he signed in Baltimore.

Stanley going through a full practice for the first time is huge news, especially with Week 1 of the regular season quickly approaching. Proche leaving the field early is unfortunate, but with Harbaugh saying it’s just cramping, hopefully he can be out there in the next few days, as the Ravens are getting extremely thin at the wide receiver position.
