The Baltimore Ravens have just one more practice before wrapping up the second week of training camp.
It's been an eventful five days with both sides of the ball having their moments, and even a little scuffle broke out. However, there's also the unfortunate injury factor that comes with football.
Ravens' head coach John Harbaugh took questions after practice and he gave an update on several players that are absent.
“Yes. Those are short-term," Harbaugh said. "They should be back very soon. Rock [Ya-Sin] should be back soon. David [Ojabo] should be back soon. Trenton [Simpson] had a little issue [with] soft tissue, so we’ll probably play it safe a little bit. We’ll see where it goes. Those are normal camp things. So far, so good.”
Ya-Sin went down with a knee injury during Wednesday's practice. Fortunately, he didn't suffer a tear after an MRI. Ojabo briefly left practice on Tuesday before returning but hasn't participated in a full practice in the last few days so they're being cautious there.
Wide receiver Rashod Bateman is currently on the PUP list as he continues to rehab his foot injury from last season. Harbaugh was asked if there was a timeframe for when he'd be back.
“I don’t know. I haven’t thought about that," said Harbaugh. "He’s doing a really great job. There’s a chance that he will be out there pretty soon, but again, I don’t want to say for sure because that just gets me in trouble.
"Then, you’re going to ask me … You’re going to say, ‘Well you said he would be back at a certain time,’ right? It’s like … Don’t they say when you get arrested, ‘Anything you say can and will be used against you,’ right? I feel like it’s similar here in this press conference sometimes."
There was a bit of comedy before the next topic was mentioned.
Harbaugh was asked if he should be read his rights, and the response had everyone, including him, laughing.
"Read me my rights. I should be read my rights before every press conference starts," said Harbaugh.
Baltimore also put cornerback Trayvon Mullen on the reserve/non-football injury list on Friday.
