Head coach Jesse Minter is "optimistic" Hawkins (knee) will return to practice this week, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Hawkins has missed the last three games due to a knee injury. While he didn't practice last week, it appears there's a chance he will be back on the practice field ahead of the Week 10 meeting with the Chargers. However, that doesn't mean Hawkins will be ready to play, so K'Von Wallace might remain more involved.
