Awuzie (foot) remained a non-participant in practice Thursday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Awuzie didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday after exiting this past Sunday's win over the Bengals due to a foot injury. The starting cornerback will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Patriots. T.J. Tampa would probably continue to fill in if Awuzie doesn't play.

Rotowire

Ravens' Chidobe Awuzie: Picks up shoulder injury
Rotowire
Awuzie did not practice Wednesday due to a shoulder issue.
Awuzie logged just a 21 percent defensive snap share -- his lowest of the season -- this past Sunday in a loss to Pittsburgh, and that may be explained by the shoulder injury he is currently dealing with. It's unclear how serious the issue is, but his level of participation in practice Thursday and Friday should provide clarity about Awuzie's likelihood of playing Sunday versus Cincinnati.

Ravens' Chidobe Awuzie: Past hamstring injury
Rotowire
Awuzie (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Awuzie was sidelined for Weeks 5 and 6 due to a hamstring injury. The Ravens' Week 7 bye gave the veteran corner additional time to recover, and his ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that he is on track to make his return against the Bears on Sunday. Awuzie's return will likely mean less snaps at outside corner for T.J. Tampa and Jaire Alexander.

Rotowire

Ravens' Chidobe Awuzie: Participates in team drills
Rotowire
Awuzie (ankle) participated in team drills during Monday's training camp practice, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Awuzie had been eased into training camp after suffering an ankle injury in early June, but the veteran corner has been cleared to participate in team drills. Awuzie signed with the Ravens in late March after being released by the Titans, and he is expected to serve in a depth role at outside corner behind projected starters Nate Wiggins and Jaire Alexander. Awuzie was limited to just eight regular-season games last year due to a groin injury and finished with 26 tackles (17 solo), four pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble.

Ravens' Chidobe Awuzie: Hurts ankle in practice
Rotowire
Awuzie suffered what appeared to be an ankle injury at practice Monday, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan reports.
Per Woodland, Awuzie's injury looked less severe than the lower-body injury suffered by teammate Beau Brade at the same practice. The Ravens have little reason to rush Awuzie back during OTAs, but the cornerback's availability will bear monitoring moving forward.
Awuzie logged 26 tackles (17 solo), four pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble across eight regular-season games in 2024.
Awuzie signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Titans in March of 2024 after spending the prior three seasons with the Bengals. He suffered a groin injury in Week 3 against the Vikings, which was severe enough for him to be placed on IR in late September and didn't return until early December. Rookie fifth-round pick Jarvis Brownlee saw extended playing time at outside corner due to injuries to Awuzie and L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps), and the trio figure to compete for slotting in training camp ahead of the 2025 campaign.
