Wide receiver Breshad Perriman participated in running drills for the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, which was the biggest news of the first day of the team's offseason conditioning program.

The workout session was closed to the media, but the Ravens released video and photos that showed Perriman in full stride running alongside safety Terrence Brooks, cornerback Sheldon Price and safety Matt Elam.

Perriman, Baltimore's first-round pick a year ago, is the Ravens player who has the most to prove this offseason. He didn't play a snap in the regular season because of a sprained posterior cruciate ligament.

General manager Ozzie Newsome said in February that he anticipated Perriman would participate in offseason workouts, but Ravens officials indicated this month that he wasn't running at full speed.

In the video provided by the team, Perriman was moving at a fast pace, but it was in a straight line for about 50 yards (no cutting). He was running without a brace on the injured right knee.

Though training camp and the regular season are still a ways off, this was certainly a good first step for Perriman.
