Ravens, Joe Flacco playing catch up after losing practice time

A look at what's happening with the Baltimore Ravens as they begin their three-day mandatory minicamp Tuesday:

1. Joe Flacco needs to make up for lost time: The Ravens forfeited two of their 10 voluntary offseason practices last week after breaking NFL rules. It's the third time since 2010 that the NFL has disciplined coach John Harbaugh and his team for an offseason violation.

This impacts the chemistry-building of Flacco and Baltimore's revamped passing game the most. Among the 19 wide receivers and tight ends on the roster, 12 are in their first year with the Ravens, including the top three receivers (Michael Crabtree, John Brown and Willie Snead) and the best pass-catching tight ends (rookies Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews).
