They're going to play football here soon. They does not include most starters. Ravens vs. Colts preseason opener kicks off in ~90min.

Ravens observations: No Lamar Jackson on a light practice day Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed Monday’s training camp practice with an excused absence. He didn’t miss much.

Observations from a light, Lamar Jackson-less practice. The drama ensues tomorrow, which Zach Orr considers the first of "two games this week.”

Pretty quiet practice today with no 8 and no pads. First real cheers were for a Cooper Rush downfield strike to Zay Flowers for a touchdown.

A few plays later Tylan Wallace corralled in a Rush throw for a TD over Nate Wiggins.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will not practice today for a pre-planned excused absence.

Ravens are back in Owings Mills today. Here's some Monday lunch break reading material:

Ravens CB Nate Wiggins in Year 2 is ‘a totally different ballgame’ Looking for a breakout Ravens candidate? Look no further than second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins.

Year 2 Nate Wiggins may be on the precipice of a breakout season.

“I think he’s probably going to have one of the bigger jumps from last year to this year of anybody on the team."

Ravens kicker Tyler Loop receives ‘A+++’ grade for first stadium practice “I’ve been around a lot of people,” Ravens holder Jordan Stout said of kicker Tyler Loop. “I think he has the biggest leg I’ve ever seen.”

The Ravens use a Trackman (like in golf) for detailed data on every Tyler Loop kick. Jordan Stout said Loop's longest make was clocked traveling 78 yards.

Ravens’ Justin Tucker: ‘Massage therapists deserve to work in a safe and respectful environment’ The allegations against Ravens kicker Justin Tucker perpetuate a hyper-sexualized stigma that is damaging to the massage therapy profession.

Ravens’ ‘ageless wonder’ Kyle Van Noy is having a career year Kyle Van Noy’s career-high 12 1/2 sacks were more than the Ravens could have hoped for from the 33-year-old in Year 11.

"People were talking about somebody else not coming back and not so much me."

On a career year for Kyle Van Noy, exceeding expectations at 33 while guiding Baltimore's young pass rushers.

John Harbaugh said it's not a season-ending injury for Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee). He'll be day-to-day.

Per NextGenStats, Tylan Wallace's Week 10 TD was the most incredible YAC of the 2024 regular season and Derrick Henry accounted for 2 of the top-3 remarkable rushes (Weeks 4 and 7).

"The bus was out of gas."

Ravens players shocked and thrilled after DT Michael Pierce’s first interception Ravens coach John Harbaugh called Pierce’s turnover “the most crazy, amazing play in NFL history” on a day when the defense had all the fun.

“That was probably the last thing we all thought was gonna happen on that play."

On a fun night for the Ravens defense:

“It’s even better when everyone was kind of bitching about [us not] having a pass rush here."

With that Odafe Oweh sack, this is the fourth season in Ravens history that two players reached double-digit sack totals (Kyle Van Noy, Oweh). Last time was 2014 with Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil.
