The Ravens (7-2) enter the Week 10 matchup against the Cleveland Browns as an elite team that’s getting healthy, but Thursday provided a scare.
Cornerback Marlon Humphrey (hamstring), running back Keaton Mitchell (hamstring), and wide receiver Rashod Bateman (back) were all limited participants in the second practice of the week.
Defensive tackle Michael Pierce (illness) did not practice for a second straight day, while cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis (illness) also did not practice.

The news is concerning for Mitchell, who is coming off a breakout performance in which he had 138 yards and a touchdown on nine carries in Sunday’s blowout win over the Seattle Seahawks.
The injury designation comes after Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken said that the undrafted rookie out of East Carolina had earned more playing time after he missed the early part of the season with a shoulder injury suffered in the preseason.
Humphrey has returned to his Pro Bowl form, while Michael Pierce has been stout at defensive tackle.
For the Browns (5-3), wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (concussion) and rookie offensive tackle Dawand Jones (knee/shoulder) did not participate for a second day in a row. Wide receiver David Bell (knee) also did not practice.
Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder), offensive lineman Nick Harris (toe), and safety Grant Delpit (shoulder) fully practiced for the second straight day.
