The Ravens are tied for the NFL lead in sacks and one of their best outside linebackers is poised to return for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions at M&T Bank Stadium.
Odafe Oweh practiced fully Thursday and Friday in his return from an ankle injury that sidelined him for the past four games. He does not have an injury designation going into the game, meaning he’s physically good to go.
“He looked good,” Head Coach John Harbaugh said of Oweh’s week of practice. “It was good to see him back out there.”
Oweh got off to a strong start against the Texans in Week 1 but suffered his injury the following week in Cincinnati. He would step in alongside Jadeveon Clowney and Kyle Van Noy as the Ravens’ top outside linebackers against a formidable Lions offensive line.
The Ravens only ruled out two players – safety Marcus Williams (hamstring) and cornerback Kevon Seymour (ankle) – for Sunday’s game. Everybody else practiced fully Friday, which was more of a walk-through practice. It’s the healthiest the Ravens have been all seas
I thought the best thing to do was [to] get a good mental sweat [and] try to really be focused on what we’re doing assignment-wise and get ready for Sunday,” Harbaugh said.
With Williams out, Stone will again start alongside Kyle Hamilton, a role he is accustomed to at this point. Stone is tied for the league lead with three interceptions.
Three defensive rotational players, defensive end Brent Urban (neck stinger), cornerback Ronald Darby (illness), and linebacker Malik Harrison (concussion) don’t have an injury designation and are good to play against the Lions.
Darby came down with an illness this week that knocked him out of practice Thursday, but he was back on the field Friday.
