OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens are the first NFL team to open training camp this year, but quarterback Joe Flacco was on the field before the first full practice.
Flacco held a couple of private workouts with his wide receivers and tight ends last week at a local park across the street from the team's facility. Players aren't allowed to practice on the field at the Under Armour Performance Center until Thursday under the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, so Flacco invited his teammates to catch passes a couple of times before camp started.
