BALTIMORE � Todd Heap is sidelined for his second straight minicamp, but the Baltimore Ravens tight end expects to participate in a full practice before offseason workouts end in mid-June.

Heap is dealing with a lower back injury that dates back to the playoffs four months ago. He injured it during a practice in January.
�He�s not as far along as we all thought he would be � and he thought he would be � so we�re just trying to work through it,� Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday, the second day of passing camp.
Heap was third on the team last season with 35 catches, his fewest receptions in a 16-game season.
�I�m making sure that I am completely healthy before I get back out there,� Heap said.
