PRACTICE NOTES

... WR Emmanuel Sanders wasted no time getting into the action during his first seven-on-seven period of training camp. He caught the first pass of the period on a slant from Joe Flacco, then had another reception four snaps later past two defenders before he went back to the sideline.

"That was the plan, to get him anywhere from four to six plays in the seven-on-seven," Fangio said.

... WR DaeSean Hamilton had his repetitions cut short because he "tweaked his hamstring," Fangio said. With Hamilton sidelined and Sanders still working back up to speed, a slew of reserve receivers saw first-team repetitions, with Tim Patrick leading the way.

... Rookie tight end Noah Fant continued to turn short passes into long gains. Early in practice, he worked under the zone to get open as Kevin Hogan rolled to the right, allowing Hogan to hit him with a pass that allowed him to turn upfield and accumulate 15 more yards after the catch. Fant also had a reception to the left side just past linebacker Justin Hollins.

... Rookie quarterback Drew Lock showed decisiveness early during the seven-on-seven period. He completed all but one of his passes in that period, and the only incompletion was because of a drop by Brendan Langley. Lock also got the ball out in 2.1 seconds or fewer on all of those plays.

... The run defense had some solid moments during the day. One of its best sequences came during the second team period of practice, when Bradley Chubb and Alexander Johnson stuffed consecutive wins by Devontae Booker and Phillip Lindsay behind the line of scrimmage. On the next play, Chubb capped the outstanding work with a sack of quarterback Joe Flacco.

... Justin Simmons continued to be a ballhawk, intercepting a Flacco pass for Fant that sailed too high down the seam

... Rookie quarterback Brett Rypien got a seven-on-seven red-zone period against the No. 1 defense. He completed four passes, including one for a touchdown to rookie wide receiver Kelvin McKnight.

... A team red-zone period saw Lindsay score a touchdown on a 4-yard draw play that saw Ron Leary deliver a key block to spring Lindsay. But from there, the defense took over; the next two goal-to-go snaps saw Wolfe and Josey Jewell defuse a handoff and Von Miller generate right-flank pressure that forced Flacco into a third-and-goal incompletion.
