Ravens defensive lineman Calais Campbell, cornerback Anthony Averett and defensive back Anthony Levine Sr. returned Thursday to practice, where the Ravens had encouraging attendance ahead of Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns.
Just five Ravens were absent for the open portion of the workout. Right tackle Patrick Mekari (hand), fullback Patrick Ricard (back) and tight end Nick Boyle (illness/knee) were out for the second straight day, while left tackle Alejandro Villanueva and defensive tackle Brandon Williams received a day off to rest. Mekari is not expected to play this week.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Miles Boykin (finger) and defensive backs Kevon Seymour (illness) and Brandon Stephens (shoulder) were limited for the second straight day.

Starting tight end David Njoku, the team’s leading receiver, was placed on the list Tuesday. Their availability for Sunday’s game is unclear.
