ITPV » Ravens practice attendance report 8/16:

Only four players were absent The Ravens held their final practice of the week in Baltimore before they head to Indianapolis. They will have two joint practices with the Colts before their Monday night preseason game. Baltimore is as healthy as they have been all training camp as only four players missed practice on Thursday. After having Wednesday off Youth Joe Flacco Jersey , Bennett Jackson and Eric Weddle have both returned to the practice field. Weddle was given the day off on Tuesday, while Jackson was nursing an undisclosed injury. Undrafted free agent linebacker Alvin Jones is the only player who is not on the PUP list that did not practice. He has now missed four consecutive days, and his status for Monday night’s game is up in the air. Jones has flashed on special teams as he is fighting for a roster spot, but more likely a practice squad spot. Linebacker Tyus Bowser has appeared to have battled back from his groin injury as he has practiced for the third day in a row.Monday night’s game with the Colts will be Baltimore’s third preseason game, and the starters will likely play close to a quarter if not more. With the September 1st cut down deadline looming, the Ravens will have several critical roster decisions to make. Colin Kaepernick is no longer in the NFL 鈥?which, when one considers that Derek Anderson and Cody Kessler are getting snaps at quarterback, is fascinating 鈥?and the White House-driven conversation about pregame national anthems in the league largely has receded.Still, on this given Sunday, both Kaepernick http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-maxx-williams-jersey , and the ramifications of his protest movement about racial equality and social justice, were back in the news.That's because Kaepernick's former teammate with the San Francisco 49ers, safety Eric Reid 鈥?who is still kneeling during "The Star-Spangled Banner" with his current club, the Carolina Panthers 鈥?made his personal conflict with Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins a very public matter.First, Reid went out onto the field to jaw at Jenkins, who was near the Eagles logo before the game. They got in each other's faces 鈥?Jenkins with a helmet on, Reid without 鈥?until officials, coaches and teammates separated the pair. Then, after the game, Reid did not shy away from telling reporters exactly what he thinks of Jenkins.This all stems from Reid's split from Jenkins' The Players Coalition after the group sought to get pregame demonstrations to stop if the NFL made charitable donations to causes they support. Reid also was bothered by Kaepernick's exclusion from meetings on the issue."We believe a lot of players should have stepped up for Colin Justin Tucker Jersey ," Reid said Sunday. "I believe Malcolm capitalized on the situation. He co-opted the movement that was started by Colin to get his organization funded. It's cowardly. He sold us out."When Reid's comments were relayed, Jenkins said: "I'm not going to get up here and say anything negative about that man."Kaepernick, meanwhile, tweeted out a message of support for Reid.In case you missed it, here are other top topics after the NFL season's seventh Sunday:UNFIT TO BE TIEDTennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel had no interest in a tie. And when your offense is as vanilla and old-fashioned as his, maybe that makes sense 鈥?even if it means flying all the way back from London with a loss. When the Titans scored a TD to cut their deficit to 20-19 against the Los Angeles Chargers with 31 seconds left in regulation, the obvious move would have been to kick an extra point and figure you'll take your chances in overtime. Vrabel went rogue, though, opting to try a 2-point conversion for the win, while risking defeat. Didn't work: Marcus Mariota's pass from the 1 Authentic Sam Koch Jersey , following a penalty on the Chargers, was incomplete, and the Titans lost their third game in a row.TUCKERED OUTFor 222 consecutive extra points in the regular season, Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker's aim was true. Somehow, No. 223 proved problematic. After Joe Flacco threw a 14-yard TD pass to John Brown with 24 seconds left to get Baltimore within a point against the New Orleans Saints, OT seemed to be a certainty. Except Tucker's PAT swerved right of the goalpost, leaving his Ravens with a 24-23 loss. As the ball sailed awry, his jaw dropped and his eyes widened in disbelief. "Every kicker, every football player, is going to come across a moment Youth Nick Boyle Jersey , a challenging moment. You play long enough, you're going to have a kick you want back," Tucker said. "Tonight was that night for me."0-4 ON THE ROADEven Jerry Jones had nothing to say after this one. The Dallas Cowboys' owner loves to offer his thoughts after games 鈥?win or lose 鈥?but he avoided the media after his club dropped to 0-4 on the road this season with a 20-17 defeat against the NFC East rival Washington Redskins. All sorts of things went wrong for the Cowboys, who are 3-0 at home: Ezekiel Elliott was held to 34 yards; Dak Prescott lost two fumbles, including one returned for a fourth-quarter TD that turned out to be the winning points; coach Jason Garrett appeared to be satisfied setting up a potentially tying field-goal attempt to force overtime rather than trying to get the ball in the end zone in the closing seconds; a rarely called penalty on the long snapper turned a 47-yard kick into a 52-yarder that Brett Maher doinked off the left upright.AP Sports Writer Dan Gelston in Philadelphia contributed to this report.Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at ://HowardFendrich
