WESTMINSTER, Md. (AP) -Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Terrence Cody finally participated in his first NFL practice after passing the team’s conditioning test on the third try.
Cody, a 350-pounder out of Alabama, failed the test twice on Tuesday. But he was able to master the running exercise Wednesday morning and was removed from the physically unable to perform list before taking the field.
During his first practice with the Ravens, Cody got advice from defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, who also stuck the rookie with a new nickname: Cheeseburger.
Selected in the second round of the draft, Cody is expected to provide help to Ngata and Kelly Gregg in stopping the run. But coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that the rookie might also turn out to be an effective pass rusher.
