Tampa (hernia) was removed from the Ravens' active/PUP list Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. Ravens head coach Jim Harbaugh said Sunday that he didn't expect Tampa to practice this week, but the rookie corner was able to exceed that expectation and participated in individual drills Monday, per Ryan Mink of the team's official site. Tampa had double hernia surgery in July and had been sidelined since the start of training camp. He'll now have multiple weeks to show off his skill set as he works toward what is likely to be a depth role in the Ravens' secondary.

Moved off PUP list
Tampa (hernia) was removed from the Ravens' active/PUP list Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. Ravens head coach Jim Harbaugh said Sunday that he didn't expect Tampa to practice this week, but the rookie corner was able to exceed that expectation and participated in individual drills Monday, per Ryan Mink of the team's official site. Tampa had double hernia surgery in July and had been sidelined since the start of training camp. He'll now have multiple weeks to show off his skill set as he works toward what is likely to be a depth role in the Ravens' secondary.
Nearing return
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Sunday that Tampa (groin) is "getting close" to a return. Tampa went on the active/PUP list in mid-July after undergoing surgery for a hernia. The 22-year-old will look to return in time to get on the practice field with his teammates before the end of camp, though Harbaugh indicated that Tampa probably won't return this week.
Recovering from surgery
Tampa underwent surgery for a hernia following minicamp and will be sidelined for a few more weeks, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. Baltimore placed Tampa on its PUP list Monday but did not disclose the nature of his injury at that time. Now, it's not yet clear whether he'll be ready to play again in time for Week 1, but if he's not, it could create a more open path to regular playing time for fellow rookie Nate Wiggins.
Placed on PUP list
The Ravens placed Tampa (undisclosed) on the PUP list Monday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. Tampa was a full participant in spring practices, and while the nature of his current injury remains undisclosed, he can come off the PUP list at any point throughout training camp or the preseason. The rookie fourth-round pick boasts intriguing speed and size, but in order to earn more than a depth role in Baltimore's secondary in Year 1, it would befit him to get healthy and return to the practice field without missing too many offseason reps.
