The Ravens are expecting a full house for this weekend's minicamp.
Team officials said yesterday that linebacker Ray Lewis is medically cleared to participate and cornerback Chris McAlister is leaning toward attending the first full-team workout of the offseason.
It originally was thought that McAlister, who was designated the team's franchise player, would skip the voluntary practices. Many players routinely protest the tag - which keeps players off the free-agent market in exchange for a one-year tender worth the average salary of the top five paid at their positions - by not appearing at offseason functions.
"It's my understanding that Chris will be here," Ravens coach Brian Billick said. "We talked about it right after the season. Chris understands what his obligations are. He's been great about it along with [his agent] Mitch Frankel. We have no concerns with that."
