Calais Campbell practices for first time at Ravens camp Monday
· Yahoo Sports
Veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell is on the field at Ravens camp for the first time this summer on Monday.
Campbell was not placed on any injury list to open camp, but the team gave him time off to open camp as he worked his way back from a family tragedy. Campbell's mother was killed in late June and his brother was arrested for murder on July 1.

"From a preparation standpoint, that took up a lot of his time and his mental focus and energy. . . . We're here for Calais, to get ready at the rate he can get ready at," Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said last week, via the team's website. "It's different than a 25-year-old that played only a year or two. This guy's got so many banked reps of experience of getting himself ready in camp. We're going to work with Calais to have a great plan, to have him ready for September, December, January and February."
Campbell wasn't the only Ravens defensive lineman making his first appearance of the summer. John Jenkins is off the physically unable to perform list and practicing with the team as well.
