Odell Beckham Jr. returns to Ravens practice; Malik Harrison’s role could be crucial vs. 49ers

Odell Beckham Jr. returns to Ravens practice; Malik Harrison’s role could be crucial against the 49ers Odell Beckham Jr. missed the opening portion of practice on Wednesday and was sidelined on Thursday with an illness, but was a full participant on Friday.

(Kylie Cooper/Baltimore Banner) Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. returned to practice Friday as the Ravens’ lineup changed ahead of Monday’s game against the NFC-leading San Francisco 49ers.

Beckham missed the opening portion of practice on Wednesday and was sidelined on Thursday with an illness. But he was a full part of Friday’s session along with rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers, who was limited Thursday with a foot injury.

Left tackle Ronnie Stanley (concussion) and safety Marcus Williams (groin), both of whom left Sunday’s win against the Jacksonville Jaguars with injuries, were elevated from limited participation to full participation.

Jalyn Armour-Davis (concussion) will be sidelined, while cornerback Arthur Maulet also missed practice due to “minor surgery” on his knee, according to coach John Harbaugh. The Baltimore Banner thanks its sponsor. Become one. “It’s gone into a day-to-day mode with him,” Harbaugh said of Maulet after Friday’s practice.

“Let’s see where we are during the game.” Harrison’s big role Malik Harrison, drafted at inside linebacker in 2020 but has played almost exclusively at cornerback this season, played just nine snaps Sunday, his first game since suffering a groin injury in late November.

The 49ers, with former Ravens linebacker Kyle Juszczyk, used those personnel groups on 62.7 percent of their plays this season, the highest in the league. Harrison’s ability to set the edge could be crucial against a San Francisco rushing attack that ranks third in the NFL in yards per game (139.9). “You’re obviously going to be on base some of the time against this team [on defense],” Harbaugh said, referring to a defensive lineup that has just four safeties. “Malik did a great job.

He is a starter there on base. He plays at the back of Sam [strong side]. … He plays it at a really high level. Yes, he will be a big part of the game plan. Li plays really well. It’s really fair.”
