The absence of starting left tackle Ronnie Stanley from Thursday morning’s practice was startling, but not to Ravens coach John Harbaugh.

Harbaugh said after practice that Stanley, who has started 13 of 14 games, did not participate because of an illness. The 2016 first-round draft pick was listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts at M&T Bank Stadium, which suggests he will start.

Asked about his level of concern regarding Stanley’s absence, Harbaugh replied: “No concern. He’s just sick. He’s just getting over something. [Outside linebacker] Matt Judon had something yesterday. It’s that time of year.”

Starting wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (left knee) did not practice for the third straight day and is doubtful for Saturday.

While describing Maclin as a game-time decision, Harbaugh said another option involves adding a fifth wideout to a group that already includes Mike Wallace, Chris Moore, Breshad Perriman and Michael Campanaro.

“I think we could add one. It remains to be seen,” he said. “We have until tomorrow at 4 to make those kinds of decisions for this game. So that would be part of the conversation, for sure.”

Three players — slot cornerback Maurice Canady (knee), defensive end Carl Davis (right shoulder) and defensive back Anthony Levine Sr. (thigh) — are questionable. Levine has been limited in practice all week, but Canady and Davis were upgraded from limited participation Wednesday to full practice Thursday.

Eyeing Ogden:C.J. Mosley has been answering questions about ex-Ravens middle linebacker and 13-time Pro Bowl selection Ray Lewis since the day he arrived in the organization as a 2014 first-round pick. But when it comes to being honored among the league’s best, it’s not Lewis but another former Ravens great he’d like to emulate.

Asked about making the Pro Bowl for the third time in four NFL seasons, Mosley said, “I hope I can keep it going so I could be like Jonathan Ogden and have every year, I’m in.”

Mosley said he often hears about the Hall of Fame left tackle’s feat of being selected to the Pro Bowl in 11 of his 12 NFL seasons. Ogden did not make it as a rookie in 1996, but he was a Pro Bowl selection in every season after that.

Mosley made it as a rookie in 2014 and was not selected the following year, but has since earned Pro Bowl honors in back-to-back seasons.

“I’ve always been a consistent player. I’ve always said I’m never one to brag about individual goals, but I know the work I put in in the offseason and the things I do,” Mosley said. “I wouldn’t say I’m surprised that I got it for the third time. I was kind of upset I didn’t get it my second year. I feel like I had a pretty good year that year, too.”

Checking out Hilton: Brandon Carr has never faced T.Y. Hilton. But the Ravens cornerback does not need much of a primer on the danger the Colts wide receiver poses when their teams meet Saturday.

Despite a 5-foot-9, 178-pound frame, Hilton has 150 or more receiving yards in three games this season, trailing only the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Antonio Brown, who has five. But since a 175-yard, two-touchdown performance Nov. 5 in a 20-14 win at the Houston Texans, Hilton, whose nickname is “The Ghost,” has not topped 51 yards in any of his past five starts and has scored only one touchdown over that same span.

Still, Carr spoke highly of Hilton, describing him as “fast. Big-play guy. Run-after-catch guy, vertical-threat guy. He can do it all. So we have to make sure we communicate where he is at all times.”

Another honor for Watson:Two weeks after being named the Ravens’ nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, tight end Benjamin Watson is the team’s Ed BlockCourage Award recipient. The honor recognizes a representative on all 32 teams who exemplifies professionalism, courage to overcome adversity, and community service.

The award is named after Block, the longtime head trainer for the Baltimore Colts who worked to help improve the lives of children. The Baltimore connection — and that the players vote for the recipient — resonated with Watson, who leads the offense in receptions (49) and touchdown catches (four) and ranks third in yards (421) despite a torn right Achilles tendon that wiped out his 2016 campaign. Off the field, Watson heads his own charity called the One More Foundation that has tried to help fight sex trafficking and has matched all donations made to local schools in Baltimore.

“It’s an honor to be selected by my teammates,” he said after Thursday’s practice. “This award around the league is one that is held in very high esteem because it’s voted for by the players, and to win in Baltimore where Mr. Block was — a trainer and a humanitarian and just the legacy he left with the city as well as this organization — it’s special to be here in Baltimore and win this award. So thank you, and I look forward to continuing my own humanitarian efforts with all the work you guys are doing.”

Glad to be back: Chuck Pagano will face the Ravens for the third time since the Colts hired the former Ravens defensive coordinator to be their coach Jan. 25, 2012. Pagano expressed his gratitude for the four years he was employed by the Ravens. “Nothing but fond memories obviously, and a great four years there,” Pagano said Tuesday during a conference call with Baltimore media. “Me and my family loved it there, loved working for John and with [general manager] Ozzie [Newsome]. [Owner] Steve [Bisciotti] was phenomenal. We had a great experience and are forever grateful to Coach Harbaugh for giving me the opportunity to be on his first staff back in 2008. I certainly would not be where I am at today without that opportunity and to have the opportunity to be around so many great people and great players.” …
