Arthur Jones has practiced this week and appears relieved after receiving a doctor’s clearance to return to the field after being held out for what is believed to be an abnormal heart rate.
“I would say he didn’t get too out of shape [during his absence]”, said John Harbaugh.
“He’s progressing well. We’re just going to have to see how he feels on Sunday. He looked OK at practice, but that’s something that we’ll have to see how he is feeling on Sunday. He’s got a chance [to play].”
Bernard Pierce’s injury is listed as a thigh but that could mean a hamstring and if that’s the case, Pierce could be out this week and even longer which further explains the Ravens’ interest in recently acquired RB Shaun Draughn.
