Ravens K Billy Cundiff will face competition from undrafted rookie Justin Tucker in training camp. The Ravens signed Tucker as a priority UDFA, and will hold onto him into August. The big-legged youngster hit a 55-yarder at rookie camp after banging home 40-of-48 field goal tries (83.3 percent) during his final two years as Texas. Cundiff went 28-for-37 (75.7) in 2011, not including a backbreaking playoff miss.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh confirmed K Billy Cundiff is likely to face competition in camp. However, Harbaugh said he anticipated Cundiff being the Ravens' Week 1 kicker. Cundiff is an asset on kickoffs, but converted just 28-of-37 field-goal attempts last season before shanking a kick that would have sent the AFC Championship Game to overtime.

The Ravens are expected to bring Billy Cundiff back in 2012, but he may have competition in training camp. The coaching staff loves having Cundiff's powerful leg as an asset on kickoffs, but they have to be wondering how the misfire in the AFC Championship game will affect him going forward. Cundiff will be under plenty of scrutiny in Baltimore.

Ravens coaches were reportedly "furious" with K Billy Cundiff for not being immediately ready to enter for the game-tying field goal late in Sunday's season-ending loss to the Patriots. According to one teammate, coaches called unsuccessfully for Cundiff six times while precious time rolled off the play clock. Cundiff, who coordinators his pre-kick routine to the scoreboard, didn't realize he was being called because of a discrepancy between the down-and-distance on the scoreboard and the ruling on the field. Cundiff is arguably the best kickoff weapon in the NFL, but his field-goal accuracy was spotty down the stretch.

Billy Cundiff (calf) practice again on Thursday. "We're going to see how it responds," Cundiff said. "It's come a long way. Obviously, I needed the rest. I couldn't even make it through the game, so now this is just a matter of trying to progress it and see if I can make it through practice. If we can do that, then hopefully we'll be able to play on Sunday."

Coach John Harbaugh suggested Billy Cundiff (calf) may not kick in Week 16 after missing another field goal Sunday night. Asked about Cundiff's calf leading to missed kicks, Harbaugh replied, "We're going to have to look at that really hard this week and try to make a good decision." Cundiff has been a top-10 fantasy kicker in many leagues this season, but he's not worth the risk at this point.
