Ravens' Breshad Perriman: Could be ready during camp

The Ravens are cautiously optimistic that Perriman (knee) will be ready at some point during training camp in August, ESPN.com reports.

Perriman was recently diagnosed with a partial ACL tear, which led to fear that he might start his career with a second straight missed season. Fortunately for the Ravens, the tear wasn't severe enough to require reconstructive surgery, so Perriman instead received a stem-cell injection to help the ligament heal. Although the team is optimistic, head coach John Harbaugh admitted that Perriman still faces a very uncertain recovery timetable. The 2015 first-round selection missed his entire rookie season with a PCL injury in the other knee, and he'll presumably have added risk for suffering a full ACL tear whenever he does make it back onto the practice field. Steve Smith (knee) is also expected to miss the beginning of camp -- at the very least -- leaving Kamar Aiken and Mike Wallace as the likely first-team wideouts when the team takes the field in late July.
