MOORE CATCHING ON
WESTMINSTER -- Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Clarence Moore registered the top catch of training camp so far, diving for a 40-yard bomb from quarterback Kyle Boller with his body parallel to the ground in an acrobatic display.
Moore, who just returned from a hamstring injury that sidelined him in a scrimmage against the Washington Redskins, needs more plays like that. Entering the final year of his contract, he's competing to be the fourth wide receiver.
As Brian Billick pointed out after practice, Moore needs to produce this year.
Meanwhile, cornerback Samari Rolle and safety Ed Reed didn't practice. Reed has a mild ankle injury. Rolle is still recovering from being trucked by running back Mike Anderson at the goal line Tuesday.
Billick said Rolle got a "ding," adding that, "He thinks his name is Sammy and not Samari right now."
Tight end Daniel Wilcox injured his left ankle during a pile-up at the line of scrimmage and didn't return. It's not believed to be serious. He walked off under his own power, limping slightly up the stairs on his way to the training room.
"I'm not sure what Dan's situation is," Billick said.
Nose guard Kelly Gregg (right thigh bruise, knee) still isn't practicing, but he increased his activity, performing agility drills on the side.
Rookie linebacker Antwan Barnes' sprained right ankle is improving, as he participated in some team drills for the first time since suffering the injury a week ago.
Linebacker Jamar Enzor (undisclosed) didn't practice again.
Running back P.J. Daniels is practicing with his shoulder wrapped, a minor injury he incurred during the scrimmage.
Offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden (turf toe), linebackers Dan Cody (knee surgery) and Mike Smith (shoulder surgery) remain on the physically unable to perform list. Cody, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery two weeks before training camp began, was spotted getting around on crutches. Cody had been contemplating microfracture knee surgery, which would create new cartlilage.
Matt Stover had an unusual morning, missing two field goals. Stover is one of the most accurate kickers in league history, but his last attempt was wide right. It was several yards off the mark.
Boller had a rough morning, sailing a red-zone throw way over 6-foot-6, 270-pound tight end Quinn Sypniewski's head. He also fumbled a snap, much to Billick's disapproval.
Boller did hit wide receiver Demetrius Williams in stride on a post pattern, with Williams losing his helmet while running after the catch.
Former Ravens offensive tackle Orlando "Zeus" Brown visited practice, offering blocking tips to massive rookie Jared Gaither.
Billick said that camp is essentially "done," since the team is focused on preparations for the preseason games and remaining healthy.
Billick gathered the team for a brief speech during practice. He was visibly frustrated at one point, exclaiming, "We don't know what we're doing!"
Rookie tight end Marcus Freeman takes the Fighting Irish aspect of being a former Notre Dame football alum seriously. He got into a shoving match with linebacker Gary Stills in his second altercation since camp began. Freeman got into a scuffle with linebacker Jarret Johnson last week for the first fight of training camp.
The Ravens return to practice today at 9:30 a.m.
