Ravens Dealing with Multiple Player Absences in Practice

Ravens safety Marcus Williams returned to practice on Wednesday after recovering from a hamstring injury. He was a limited participant in the practice session. Williams' return adds depth to the Ravens' safety position, which already boasts talented players like Geno Stone and Kyle Hamilton.

Despite battling a pectoral injury before his hamstring injury, Williams has been performing well on the field. During Wednesday's practice, he was seen engaging in tackling drills. When asked about his progress, Williams expressed feeling good but remained uncertain about playing in Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.

In addition to Williams, safety Daryl Worley also made his return to practice as he was designated to return from the injured reserve list. Worley had sustained a shoulder injury during the Ravens' Week 4 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Both players' return will provide a boost to the Ravens' defense.

However, several Ravens players did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., running back Gus Edwards, offensive tackles Ronnie Stanley and Morgan Moses, outside linebacker Odafe Oweh, and cornerback Rock Ya-Sin were among the absentees. Despite these absences, Head Coach John Harbaugh stated that he is not concerned about the injuries or players missing practice.

Running back Keaton Mitchell, who had been dealing with a hamstring injury, participated fully in practice at the beginning of the week.
