The Baltimore Ravens saw all players return to practice on Thursday.
Early in practice, media members marked off safety Kyle Hamilton on their roster, noting he’d returned after suffering an ankle injury against the Cincinnati Bengals a week ago on Thursday Night Football. Shortly thereafter, outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy joined the field after missing practice on Wednesday due to illness. One-by-one, each player was accounted for, with the final one being defensive lineman Justin Madubuike who ran onto the field before the first horn signaling individual position drills, meaning all 53 players were back at practice, three days before their tilt with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Having all players at practice is a boon for the Ravens as they are looking to take the lead in the AFC North race against the Steelers, who lead by a half-game.
The early expectations for Hamilton’s return were unknown. He suffered what looked to be a painful ankle sprain in the second half against the Bengals. An ankle sprain for Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith on Sunday had put him in a walking boot after the game and ruled him out for Sunday and he’ll be week-to-week moving forward.
With the secondary struggling, the loss of Hamilton would have been significant. But things are trending toward him playing on Sunday after he was on the field working out with trainers on Wednesday and now him back at practice on Thursday.
