- Trey Hendrickson, Ronnie Stanley absent from Ravens Friday practice
The Ravens began their final practice of the week with questions surrounding two important veterans ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.
Outside linebacker Trey Hendrickson (finger) and left tackle Ronnie Stanley (toe) missed Friday's practice, according to Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun. Hendrickson has missed all of practice this week, while Stanley's absence follows his return to the field earlier in the week.

Their official game designations remain pending before Baltimore releases its final injury report.
Trey Hendrickson misses the practice week
Hendrickson's continued absence puts his availability in focus as the Ravens prepare to face Tennessee quarterback Cam Ward. Baltimore needs its pass rush to disrupt Ward's timing and prevent the Titans from building sustained possessions. If Hendrickson cannot play, the Ravens would need other members of their edge rotation to handle additional work.
Missing the entire practice week is significant, but it doesn't determine his Sunday status. Baltimore's final designation will more clearly indicate whether he could be available.

Ronnie Stanley's absence raises another question
Stanley returned to practice Wednesday after his toe injury kept him out of Baltimore's win over Dallas in Brazil. Friday's absence leaves uncertainty about whether that return will translate into game action against Tennessee. His availability matters for an offensive line already dealing with injuries at center. Baltimore needs stability up front to protect Lamar Jackson and create running lanes for Derrick Henry.
The Ravens will clarify both players' status on the final injury report as they seek a second consecutive victory.
