BEREA – Quarterback Colt McCoy (stomach flu) and running back Peyton Hillis (knee) were back at practice Thursday after missing Wednesday.

“All of my symptoms are over and my body feels fine,” McCoy said.

Coach Eric Mangini said McCoy was able to go through the walkthrough Wednesday, so he practiced a number of the plays, albeit at a slow pace. He’s scheduled to start Sunday against Baltimore.

McCoy has played some of the league’s tougher defenses, including Pittsburgh’s and the Jets’, but Baltimore’s 10th-ranked unit presents unique challenges.

“They have great players and I’m excited about the opportunity,” McCoy said. “They’re a huge challenge and we’ll have our hands full.”

Hillis ran for 144 yards against the Ravens in a loss in September. It was the most rushing yards by a Brown against Baltimore.

“A blind cat will find a meal every once in a while,” linebacker Ray Lewis said.
