Real hard knocks: Ravens enduring NFL's most brutal camp start

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- John Harbaugh has never been a big believer in luck, but no one would blame the Baltimore Ravens coach if he checked to see whether Joe Flacco broke a mirror or Terrell Suggs walked under a ladder recently.

Season-ending injuries, a surprise retirement and high-profile quarterback drama have marked the first week of Ravens training camp.

No team has gone through a rougher start to camp this year than the Ravens. Baltimore has become the unofficial home of "Hard Knocks," just without the HBO cameras.

Drama has hit other places like Dallas, where the Cowboys are awaiting Ezekiel Elliott's discipline from the NFL, and Jacksonville, where Blake Bortles threw five interceptions in one practice.
