Ravens' Breshad Perriman: Could play Thursday

Perriman (knee) will play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Saints, pending approval from the Ravens' medical staff.

Analysis:

Perriman returned to practice last week after a two-month absence due to a partially-torn ACL. That followed a rookie season lost entirely to a torn PCL in his other knee, making Thursday's preseason game potentially his first appearance for the Ravens since being drafted in the first round last year. Having said that, Perriman still needs to be cleared by the Baltimore's medical staff, so his status will require further monitoring in advance of Thursday's kickoff.
