The Baltimore Ravens saw two familiar faces on the practice field during the second day of mandatory minicamp. Jimmy Smith and Albert McClellan returned after suffering season-ending injuries last year.
McClellan suffered a non-contact ACL injury just before the start of last season and the veteran linebacker missed all 16 games. He’s been seldom mentioned in the linebacker discussion this offseason but McClellan is a versatile defender and one the Ravens’ special teams captains. Coach Jerry Rosburg will be delighted to have one of his leaders back in that department.
Smith is the most notable return just over six months since tearing his Achilles tendon in a Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions.
