There was a time when preseason games provided a window to see if your favorite NFL team had improved during the offseason, but not anymore. - As the Ravens get ready to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night at Lincoln Financial Field in their second preseason contest, their cornerback situation is far less concerning than it was a year earlier. Even with Lardarius Webb again sidelined with an injury, the team has a healthy Jimmy Smith, along with a mix of battle-tested veterans and young unheralded corners who are finally getting an opportunity.
- 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.
- "I do know him, I've understood and heard the things from his past," Canty said. "I'm not familiar with the things he's had going on since then, but it's really unfortunate this took place. I didn't see him as somebody capable of using those racial slurs and leading racially charged attacks on Jonathan Martin in the fashion that he did. I didn't see that.
- Ravens starting outside linebacker Paul Kruger has been scratched for today's game after his back didn't respond fast enough to treatment.
- Jeff Zrebiec delivers his scouting report for the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Philadelphia Eagles.
- The Ravens had their full team on the practice field today in preparation for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

- Baltimore Ravens inside linebacker Jameel McClain was standing on the edge of the field, watching backup Dannell Ellerbe take the majority of the workload opposite middle linebacker Ray Lewis during a 44-13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
- Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed practices after injuring his hamstring on Monday.
- Every week, I hope to bring you a quick Q&A with someone who covers the Ravens' opponent that week. On Sunday, the Ravens travel to Philly to take on the 1-0 Eagles, so naturally I would chat with Sheil Kapadia, a former Baltimore Sun staffer who helped create the tremendous Birds 24/7 blog for Philadelphia Magazine.
