Free agency doesn't start until Wednesday, but teams can start discussing contracts with pending unrestricted free agents at noon today.

There were times in the joint practices when the Philadelphia Eagles effortlessly moved the ball on the Ravens starting defense, while the Ravens starting offense remained bogged down in its own territory on the adjacent field. That's how Saturday's game went, too.

Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. agitated the Philadelphia Eagles' defense all practice long on Thursday, while other minor altercations broke out in the joint practice.

Kevin Dorsey played special teams throughout his career at Maryland and has made the Green Bay Packers' active roster largely because of his work in that aspect of the game.

Now Torrey Smith is justifying that faith through his emergence as one of the best young receivers in the game heading into Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins at Sun Life Stadium.

The former University of Maryland player has allowed just a 69.6 passer rating and a 50-percent completion rate to opposing quarterbacks, according to Pro Football Focus, while recording 15 tackles, four pass deflections and one interception in three starts.

Nine Ravens are questionable for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, including four wide receivers and starting cornerback Lardarius Webb.

Ravens kick returner and wide receiver Jacoby Jones' return to practice was unsurprisingly on a limited basis Wednesday.

The Dolphins, in their variation of the West Coast offense, rely on short drops and quick passes to get the ball to their receivers in the passing game.
