After enduring a tough grind of playing four games in 18 days, the Ravens got back to work Monday following a three-day weekend.
The players are off Tuesday as well, and had a light workout Monday.
"They were here in great spirits, had a good attitude and were excited to go to work," coach John Harbaugh said. "We had a real good day, not a full day, a little more than half a day."
Cornerback Lardarius Webb, who has been dealing with soreness in his right knee, said he expected to participate fully Wednesday.
"It was good for the whole team," Webb said. "We needed those days with all the games we had. It was well-deserved. We came out and got a good little practice in. The guys were moving around excellent like we were off for months."

Ravens players and coaches, including Harbaugh, Reed and middle linebacker Ray Lewis, sang "Happy Birthday" to Brigance in the team cafeteria.
Brigance, who frequently provides inspirational messages and advice to players and coaches, addressed the team. The former NFL and CFL player created a foundation to assist ALS research called the Brigance Brigade.
