Injury doesn't dampen enthusiasm for Rashaan Melvin's preseason

Cornerback Rashaan Melvin hasn’t practiced since Monday, when he walked off the field accompanied by trainers after he suffered an injury during a special teams drill.

“He’s got a soft tissue issue he’s working through, a typical training camp thing,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “I don’t know if he’ll be there Saturday. I’ve got my fingers crossed.”

The injury interrupts a preseason in which the promising Melvin has filled in well for starting cornerback Lardarius Webb, who has been out more than two weeks with a hamstring injury.

“He keeps improving,” defensive coordinator Dean Pees said.
