Dennis Pitta remains optimistic about recoveryBo Smolka, CSN Baltimore

"Speaking with 105.7 The Fan on Friday to promote his role in a charity softball game this weekend — no he isn’t playing, he’s just the manager — Pitta said of his recovery: “I’m doing well. It’s a process, so I’m taking it one step at a time and doing everything that is asked of me from a training standpoint, and we’ll see where we’re at in a few months.”"

Timmy Jernigan has sights set on breaking Ravens’ second round droughtJamison Hensley, ESPN

"In the franchise’s illustrious draft history, the Ravens have selected 10 defensive players in the first round and seven of them have gone to the Pro Bowl. In the second round, none of the 13 defensive players drafted by the Ravens have earned a Pro Bowl invitation."

Ravens’ salary cap update: $7.331 million under NFL limitAaron Wilson, The Baltimore Sun

"This includes the Ravens’ recent $825,000 deal for veteran cornerback Cassius Vaughn, which includes a $745,000 base salary, a $50,000 bonus for making the 53-man roster and a $30,000 playtime bonus for playing 37 percent of the defensive snaps."

Terrence Brooks ahead of schedule, playing with startersRyan Mink, BaltimoreRavens.com

"It was then that Brooks was told his projected return: six months to a year, typically six to nine months.But less than six months after his injury, Brooks is already back out on the field, running with the starters during 11-on-11 practice scrimmages in Ravens Organized Team Activities (OTAs). He’s moving around as if nothing ever happened. It’s fair to say he’s ahead of schedule."
