Matt Elam drifted over the deep middle of the field and saw a pass from quarterback Joe Flacco heading his direction. He sprinted to the football and made a leaping catch in traffic to pull down the interception. Then he jumped up to his feet and threw his arms in the air to celebrate– and that’s ...

With nine draft picks on the roster and a flood of other young talent, it’s going to be more difficult than usual for an undrafted rookie free agent to make Baltimore’s team this summer. That doesn’t mean some aren’t standing out, however. Asked for who has surprised him thus far in minicamp, ...

Terrell Suggs is usually a headline-making jokester at his press conferences. But this year there’s a new Suggs, both mentally and physically. After an Achilles injury forced the 2011 Defensive Player of the Year to miss all of last year’s offseason and six regular-season games and zapped much of his explosiveness, Suggs is refreshed this year. The difference isn’t really that he’s older (30), or that he’s trying to make up for the loss of leaders Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. It’s that Suggs simply is happy to be playing football at this time of year. A more subdued, humbled Suggs walked to the podium Wednesday afternoon. “I told my team that last year I kind of took it for granted that we got to work together,” he said. “It’s really flattering that I get to go out and practice with the guys in June.” Suggs tore his Achilles last April, forcing him to stay off his feet for six weeks. Then came the excruciating rehab. Through that, Suggs never got a chance to train. While Suggs made a miraculous return in just 5 ½ months, he came back noticeably heavier. His quickness wasn’t fully restored, and it showed on the field. After logging 14 sacks in 2011, he had a career-low two in eight regular season games last year. Suggs was determined not to let that happen again. He said he “attacked” his offseason this year. “Everybody could tell that I wasn’t really the player I’ve been known to be around here,” Suggs said. “The goal was to train to be the best player for your team, your organization and for a city that has given you so much. The organization and the faith they had in me, and the fans have really had patience with me coming off the injury. I really wanted to show them the player that I really am.” Suggs didn’t specify how much weight he’s lost this offseason, but he looks considerably trimmer. He said he identified his “food allergies” this year, meaning those foods that quickly make him gain weight. He joked that he played volleyball with 10-pound medicine balls this offseason, in addition to the usual running and weight-lifting workouts. His mobility seems to have drastically improved from last season. Suggs moved well in his first two minicamp practices, including running with wide receivers on Tuesday. It gives hope that Suggs can return to his old self, and combine with free-agent addition Elvis Dumervil , defensive lineman Chris Canty , converted outside linebacker Pernell McPhee and others to give the Ravens a formidable pass rush this season. Suggs didn’t want to make any bold proclamations about his explosiveness or potential this season. He said it’s too early to tell because it’s still minicamp with little contact. “I feel good. I don’t want to sell myself short, I also don’t want to pat myself on the back this year,” Suggs said. “I’m just going to continue to work. It’s a pleasure just to go to work with the guys right now. I’m really just enjoying that.” While serious in front of cameras, Suggs was still having fun with his teammates on ...

The Ravens held Day 2 of mandatory minicamp practice Wednesday, and the defense was the story of the day. The defense was stellar throughout the afternoon, getting the better of the offense on a number of occasions. Intensity was ramped up during the hot, two-hour practice, as things got chippy between the two sides of the ball on a couple of occasions. Here’s a look at some of the key highlights from Wednesday: Rookie safety Matt Elam came up with a nice interception of quarterback Joe Flacco to start off 11-on-11 drills. Elam covered a good bit of ground over the middle of the field to roam into the deep secondary and pull down the interception. After the play, Elam was so excited that he jumped up to celebrate and forgot NFL and college rules are different. He thought he was down when he went to the ground, but his teammates helped him out and told him to the return the ball. Elam took off upfield before being touched down. The defense all swarmed the rookie coming over to the sidelines after the play. Practice was chippy at times, as offensive lineman Jah Reid and outside linebacker Courtney Upshaw got into a tussle after a play. Later in practice, a number of the defensive players were yelling at Reid. Between plays Upshaw and Jameel McClain started to walk over to the offensive side of the field to have a word with him. Other than the yelling back and forth, the situation didn’t escalate past the initial scuffle. Wednesday’s practice included a lot of work from the shotgun, pass-heavy offense. The Ravens showed a formidable pass rush with players like Terrell Suggs , Elvis Dumervil , Courtney Upshaw and Pernell McPhee sacking Flacco or forcing quick throws on several occasions. Dumervil has fit right into the defense. He always seems to be around the ball, whether he’s rushing the passer or even dropping back into coverage. Having him and Suggs come off the edges will be a scary sight for opposing quarterbacks. Defensive lineman Chris Canty showed off his athleticism with a nice interception on Tyrod Taylor . The 6-foot-7, 317-pounder lept up and caught the pass from Taylor at the line of scrimmage. He made an attempt to return the ball for a touchdown, but was touched down before making it to the end zone. Kicker Justin Tucker is as solid as they come. He worked off to the side during individual drills, kicking on a skinny goal post. Even on smaller goal posts, Tucker was drilling the ball right down the middle. Rookie wide receiver Aaron Mellette is coming along, but is clearly still early in his development. He flashed with a nice touchdown grab down the middle of the field on a pass from Taylor, but he also dropped an easy ball over the middle of the field earlier in the day. Jacoby Jones can still fly. All that dancing didn’t slow him down at all. The Ravens have an eclectic mix of music during practice. Drake, AC/DC and Frank Sinatra were all included in today’s playlist.

Why Cut Leach Now? Something Up Ozzie’s Sleeve? The timing of Vonta Leach’s release is “a little curious,” says Jeff Zrebiec. The Ravens released the three-time Pro Bowler just more than a month before training camp, which usually isn’t much time for a free agent to find a new team that has the ...

If the Ravens were to play a game today, Jacoby Jones would be the starting wide receiver alongside Torrey Smith . Ever since the team parted ways with Anquan Boldin, there’s been a position battle between the receivers to see who would join Smith in the starting lineup. Right now, Jones has the ...
