Ravens cornerback Arthur Maulet has again returned to the practice field.
Maulet was a limited participant Thursday in his first practice since Oct. 2, when the Ravens opened their 21-day window to activate him off injured reserve. After missing the first four games of the season while recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery, he was quickly sidelined by a hamstring injury. Coach John Harbaugh said Maulet had a “soft-tissue setback.”
Harbaugh said Monday that there was a “really good chance” Maulet would practice this week ahead of Monday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “And then we’ll have to see, from practice, if he can play or not.”
Maulet practiced with intensity through the open viewing period Thursday, though reporters were limited to watching individual drills.
Maulet played in 14 games and made three starts for the Ravens last year. He was a significant part of the rotation in the defensive backfield, especially when their depth was tested by injury. He made 37 tackles with two sacks, five passes defensed and one interception.
Defensive lineman Broderick Washington (knee) also returned to practice as a limited participant after missing Sunday’s win over the Washington Commanders. The Ravens have had the league’s best run defense through six weeks, and Washington has been a regular contributor. He has four tackles in five games.

Meanwhile, three Ravens were missing from practice Thursday. Linebacker Malik Harrison, who plays on the inside and outside, remains out with a groin injury. He’s made 10 tackles in five games.
Defensive end Brent Urban was also missing because of an illness. He batted down a pass and helped limit the Commanders to 52 rushing yards on Sunday.
Wide receiver-returner Deonte Harty was also absent, sidelined by a nagging knee injury. He is averaging 10.6 yards per punt return and 24.5 yards per kickoff return.
Rookie running back Rasheen Ali (ankle), who played nine special teams snaps in his NFL debut Sunday, was a limited participant.
Two Buccaneers starters missed practice Thursday: wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring), who’s expected to return to work later this week, and cornerback Jamel Dean, who left Sunday’s win over the New Orleans Saints with a hamstring injury.
