BALTIMORE -- Austin Howard waited eight days after signing with the Baltimore Ravens to participate in his first practice with the team.
The Ravens didn't waste any time getting him into the first-team offense.
Howard lined up at right tackle with the starters in Saturday's practice after being cleared by trainers. It's been an unusual delay for Howard, who signed a three-year, $15 million contract Aug. 4 after being released by the Oakland Raiders.
"I’ve been itching to get back out here," Howard said.
