Ravens reportedly expecting two key contributors back at practice this week

The Ravens are reportedly expecting two key defensive contributors back at practice this week

The Baltimore Ravens have gone through multiple different injuries at outside linebacker over the past several months, even dating back to last season. However, the team is anticipating some good news coming their way this week, with two players reportedly on the horizon of returning to practice.

Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic repored that Baltimore outside linebacker Tyus Bowser is expected back at practice on Wednesday. He also said that rookie outside linebacker David Ojabo is anticipated to make his practice debut this week, even as soon as Wednesday.

Bowser led the Ravens defense in sacks last season with seven.  He tore his Achilles in the final week of the 2021 season against the Pittsburgh Steelers, prompting a long road of recovery.

Ojabo tore his Achilles in March during his Pro Day.  He likely would have been a first round pick if not for the injury, but Baltimore was able to draft him at No. 45 overall, a second round selection. He had a breakout 2021 season at Michigan, bursting onto the scene with 11 sacks.
