On offense, Ray Rice broke free for a 28-yard run while quarterback Joe Flacco calmly faked a handoff and found Anquan Boldin alone in the back of the end zone.

Wide receiver unsure whether he's assured himself a spot on active roster, but he's not concerning himself with that worry either

Early in training camp, when Joe Flacco had his full arsenal of weapons at his disposal, the Ravens quarterback often gave the Baltimore defense fits in daily red-zone drills. He stood tall in the pocket and lasered touchdown passes between defenders, who were left shaking their heads.

Undrafted free agent Justin Tucker has mostly gotten the better of incumbent Billy Cundiff in the kicking competition, but not Monday.

A look at the Ravens' draft picks

Lardarius Webb, who led the defense in interceptions with five last season, has been just as opportunistic in camp.

Ravens starters to play sparingly

Aaron Wilson delivers his impressions on the Ravens roster from training camp.

So far, Paul Kruger hasn¿t done anything to disappoint observers. The outside linebacker dove and tipped a pass from quarterback Tyrod Taylor to rookie wide receiver Deonte Thompson. On the very next play, Kruger sacked Taylor. Kruger then sacked Flacco twice.

Ravens head coach won't reveal game plan, but one interesting position to monitor is wide receiver

Second-year defensive end Pernell McPhee, who has been sidelined since organized team activities with a knee injury, returned to the practice field on Wednesday, his first full-participation practice of Ravens training camp.

Chykie Brown and Asa Jackson are two young guys fighting for playing time in the Ravens¿ talented secondary and they both stood out Tuesday in a practice that featured several interceptions. Brown, a fifth-round pick last year, and Jackson, a fifth-round pick this year, had two picks each and all four would have went back for touchdowns if play continued.

Wide receiver Deonte Thompson, an undrafted rookie from Florida, turned heads during offseason workouts by blazing past defenders for a few long touchdown passes.

The Ravens may have sustained their first significant injury of training camp as coach John Harbaugh acknowledged following practice today that tight end Dennis Pitta may have broken his hand.

Rookie wide receiver hoping to take advantage of opportunity to dazzle coaching staff

The Ravens continued to tinker with their roster as they approach today's 4 p.m. first full-team practice of training camp, signing former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Logan Payne, and waiving undrafted free agent fullback Jamison Berryhill.

The Ravens will hold their first full-team practice of training camp on Thursday, July 26. Each day leading up to the official start of camp, The Sun will examine several key position battles that will be decided during preseason.

Of the eight players the Ravens picked in April¿s NFL draft, the leap to the NFL might be the biggest for Asa Jackson.

Rookie wide receivers Deonte Thompson and Tommy Streeter are trying to climb the depth chart during this week's mandatory minicamp.

Quarterback Joe Flacco did not attend the second day of the mandatory minicamp because his wife, Dana, had started to go into labor with their first child Wednesday morning.

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti touched on a variety of topics. Here are his thoughts on some of the prevailing subjects affecting the Ravens.

Baltimore Sun reporter Jeff Zrebiec has news, notes and opinions on the Ravens' final OTA.

The Ravens just got off the field after today¿s voluntary offseason team activity. Cornerback Jimmy Smith and left tackle Bryant McKinnie were present after missing last Wednesday¿s practice, but 19 players, including second-year players Jah Reid and Pernell McPhee, were not.

At 31, Anquan Boldin is the oldest receiver on the Baltimore Ravens roster by a few years (newcomer Jacoby Jones is closest in age at 27).

Jeff Zrebiec delivers some observations after the Baltimore Ravens' first OTA viewing of the offseason.

Quarterback Joe Flacco's focus is on the field and his Ravens teammates, not his contract status.

From contract negotiations with quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice to a potentially season-ending Achilles injury to star linebacker Terrell Suggs to coach John Harbaugh's comments on the New England Patriots to mercurial safety Ed Reed's controversial radio interviews, the Ravens have made plenty of off-the-field news this offseason.

The Ravens may lack experience at the wide receiver position, but they certainly don¿t lack depth. How much quality exists within that depth remains to be seen.

Tommy Streeter will never forget the pain he felt the weekend of the NFL draft. Projected by some analysts to be a second-day pick, Streeter remained on the board until late in the sixth round. But shortly after the Ravens ended his disappointment, his phone rang. Linebacker Ray Lewis was reaching out to the Miami Hurricanes wide receiver and welcoming him to the family.
