Wide receiver Breshad Perriman is back on the practice field for the Ravens for the first time since partially tearing his ACL during an OTA practice in the spring, which means he’s a little bit closer to playing in his first game since the Ravens drafted him in the first round last year.
Perriman missed his rookie year with a PCL injury and said he “had a better attitude toward the whole rehab process” this time around and that he’s “not really trying to baby” his knee now that he’s back on the practice field because he wants to be playing in Week One.
"[I’m] very eager,” Perriman said, via the team’s website. “It’s coming real soon. I know it will be worth the wait. ... I feel real good; I’m confident. I feel like my speed is there still, so I can’t complain at all.”
Now that he’s off the physically unable to perform list, Perriman will either be on the Week One roster, injured reserve or looking for other work. The last option is hard to imagine, making a bigger question how much he can do in the offense when healthy and how quickly he can start doing it. Perriman admits there’s “some work to do” with quarterback Joe Flacco and the sooner the better to get cracking on making the results worth the extended wait.
