It just wasn't just another practice at Baltimore Ravens training camp. Many players believe it was toughest practice they've ever had.
With a heat index of 110 degrees and 23 players missing practice, those who finished the 2-hour, 15-minute practice left the field feeling like they lost some pounds but gained some pride.
