A few Ravens got off to an inauspicious start to training camp when they failed their conditioning test.
Rookies Daylon Mack and Jaylon Ferguson, and veteran Michael Pierce were initially placed on the active/non-football injury or NFI list, which is reserved for players unable to practice for reasons unrelated to professional football.
However, all three have since passed their physicals and are available once training camp practice begins Thursday, July 25.
It’s likely that the players simply underestimated the rigors of the Ravens conditioning test, which is widely regarded as one of the toughest in the league, according to former players that have spent time with other teams.
