Baltimore Ravens WR Anquan Boldin (knee) said Monday, July 30, that he is ‘moving a lot better’ in training camp this year. He had a scope for a partially torn meniscus last year.
Our View: Boldin got a lot of attention from defenses last year, but the emergence of Torrey Smith should change that. He is a value pick if he falls to the double digit rounds.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Monday, July 30, that DL Haloti Ngata (hamstring) is ‘making strides.’ Ngata needs to pass his conditioning test before he is activated from the Physically-Unable-to-Perform (PUP) list.

Baltimore Ravens DL Pernell McPhee (knee) is ‘getting closer’ to a return, according to head coach John Harbaugh. There is no timetable for his return, but the first preseason game is a possibility.

Baltimore Ravens WR Tandon Doss (hamstring) missed practice Monday, July 30, due to a hamstring injury.
Our View: Doss is competing for a roster spot with the addition of speedsters Tommy Streeter and Deonte Thompson. He had a good spring and first few days of camp, but this injury could threaten his chances if it lingers.

Baltimore Ravens TE Davon Drew is the new backup to primary starting TE Ed Dickson while TE Dennis Pitta (hand) recovers from a broken hand, per head coach John Harbaugh.
Our View: Drew is a converted quarterback with good overall size and athleticism. He could keep the two tight end set in play if Pitta misses time.

The Baltimore Ravens placed OT Bryant McKinnie (back) on the non-football injury (NFI) list Monday, July 30, according to a league source. ‘B-Mac is here, came in yesterday, started the process of getting his physical finished up this morning,’ head coach John Harbaugh said. ‘He and I had a long conversation, a very good conversation. Like I’ve said many times, I think the world of B-Mac. I do believe he’s a hard work. I do believe he’s been working hard, but he’s not ready to practice yet. When he’s ready to practice he’ll be out there. He strained a muscle in his back. I didn’t ask him how he did it, but he said he fell.’

I spent three years watching the Patriots begin training camp… and it was nothing like how the Cowboys do it. Out here in Oxnard, Calif., was an opening ceremony featuring three(!) skydivers, a marching band, and cheerleaders. Owner Jerry Jones asked fans to help him kick the Giants butt, and Oxnard Mayor Dr. Thomas E. Holden was on hand. So were 5,266 fans. What else happened today? A quick run-through… after you watch my hit from NFL Network’s Total Access. – First, three players failed the Cowboys conditioning test, including RB Felix Jones. Just an inexcusable thing. Jones missed mini-camp with a shoulder injury, and coach Jason Garrett was essentially asked if that made it OK. “We would anticipate all of […]

Plaxico Burress thought he had bounced back. He thought the shooting incident was behind him and his contribution to the New York Jets last season proved he still had it. But he might have thought wrong.
