Cousins participates fully in first practice since Aug. 18

Ravens Central | Baltimore Sun — Oniel Cousins said he fully participated in his first meaningful practice since Aug. 18, and the offensive tackle said he intends to continue to work himself back into shape with the goal of playing in the season opener against the New York Jets on Sept. 13. “I felt good today, and I think I’ll feel even better on Monday,” Cousins said after Friday morning’s practice. “We have the weekend off, and it’s a good time to rest my brain and just relax.” Cousins, the team’s third-round pick in 2008, said he still suffers from the occasional headache, but he said the frequency of the headaches has a...

Giants safety fined for hit on Clayton

Ravens Central | Baltimore Sun — Mark Clayton has said that he won't seek retribution against Antrel Rolle, but the same can't be said for the NFL. Bob Glauber of Newsday wrote on his Twitter account (BobGlauber) Friday afternoon that the league levied the New York Giants safety with a fine of $7,500 for delivering a concussion-inducing hit against the Ravens wide receiver during the teams' third preseason game on Aug. 28. Clayton, who has not practiced since that contest, has said that he harbors no ill will towards Rolle, who called Clayton last Sunday to check on his condition and apologize for the blow. "It's football,...

Hit on Clayton costs Rolle $7,500

Ravens Central | Baltimore Sun — Antrel Rolle's crushing hit on Ravens wide receiver Mark Clayton last week delivered a blow to the New York Giants safety's paycheck. The NFL fined Rolle $7,500 on Friday. Rolle's hit to Clayton's head came in Saturday's preseason game at M&T; Bank Stadium and gave Clayton a concussion. Rolle was penalized for hitting a defenseless receiver, since the ball had already sailed past Clayton. That was a point of emphasis in the offseason. A few days later, Clayton said Rolle shouldn't be fined. "It's football, stuff like that happens," Clayton said earlier in the week.

No rest for the weary

Ravens Central | Baltimore Sun — Despite returning from St. Louis in the wee hours of Friday morning, the Ravens practiced several hours later. “We basically got off the plane, closed our eyes for a few minutes, and came out and practiced,” coach John Harbaugh said. “And really, that’s what our guys wanted to do. It was pretty impressive. We had a really good practice.” Harbaugh said that players from the first offense and defense took a majority of the reps and also had to complete conditioning and lifting workouts. “The guys that didn’t play in the game were in great shape, and that was really the idea,” he said. “We wa...

Updates on Kruger, McGahee

Ravens Central | Baltimore Sun — Defensive end Paul Kruger did not practice Friday morning due to an injured shoulder suffered during the team’s 27-21 loss to the St. Louis Rams Thursday night. But the severity of the injury is unclear, according to coach John Harbaugh. “Paul fell on his shoulder a little bit,” Harbaugh said after practice. “I don’t know the extent of it.” Willis McGahee was conspicuously absent from the portion of practice open to the media, but Harbaugh said the running back practiced. “Willis was out here for practice,” he said. “I think you might have missed him.” Two players who were injured Thursday ...
