Ravens cornerback Arthur Maulet practiced on back-to-back days for the first time all season.

The veteran was again a limited participant Friday. His status remains unclear for Baltimore’s “Monday Night Football” showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, but coach John Harbaugh said practices Thursday and Friday would determine that. Baltimore has until Wednesday to activate Maulet on its 53-man roster.

Last season, Maulet recorded 37 tackles, a pair of sacks and an interception in 14 games. After an impressive training camp, the 31-year-old veteran tweaked his hamstring in his first practice back from arthroscopic knee surgery.

His return could reshuffle snap counts in the Ravens’ secondary and possibly bolster a group which has struggled thus far against some of the league’s top quarterbacks.

“It’s a deep, talented group,” defensive coordinator Zach Orr said. “It is what it is, what we’ve done so far this season but we’re still a very talented group. And it’s gonna be tough to try to find different ways to get guys on the field. It’s good though. I think it brings a good mid-season competition of, who can go out there and go do what?”

Otherwise, there were no surprises on Friday’s attendance sheet.

Defensive lineman Brent Urban returned to the field but was limited after missing Thursday’s practice because of illness. Wide receiver and kick returner Deonte Harty (knee), rookie running back Rasheen Ali (ankle) and linebacker Malik Harrison (groin) were the team’s lone absences.

Harty returned two kicks and a punt Sunday against the Washington Commanders but has yet to practice this week. Special teams coordinator Chris Horton said it’s been “complicated” getting the former Archbishop Curley star in a rhythm, but “Harty’s our guy and we believe in him. When he’s healthy and he’s in the right place, we know he can be a difference-maker for us.”

The Ravens have had a fairly fortunate run of health as they chase their fifth consecutive win. Tampa Bay isn’t in the same boat.

Wide receiver Mike Evans was reportedly working with a trainer on the side during the open portion of Friday’s practice. The five-time Pro Bowl selection hasn’t practiced this week nursing a hamstring injury but is expected to play Monday night.

The other key absences for Tampa Bay this week included cornerback Jamel Dean (hamstring), tight end Payne Durham (calf) and receiver Kameron Johnson (ankle). Center Graham Barton (hamstring), defensive lineman William Gholston (knee), wide receiver Rakim Jarrett (knee) and running back Rachaad White (foot) were all limited again Friday.

Tampa Bay did get a few contributors back to full participation: outside linebacker Chris Braswell (shoulder), defensive back Christian Izien (elbow/groin), receiver Trey Palmer (concussion) and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot).
