Trenton Simpson and David Ojabo shouted out Teddye Buchanan's communication skills.

The rookie was wearing the green dot, and he was proud of himself for how well he relayed the calls. There weren't as many glaring communication errors as there were at joint practices.

Malaki Starks said with a laugh that he is a little mad about his tackle of Colts TE Tyler Warren.
"I think I probably could have stopped it from happening, probably could have picked it off if I had just followed my instincts."

Rookie cornerback Bilhal Kone carted off in preseason game Kone was in coverage, trying to prevent a Colts third-down conversion, when receiver Ashton Dulin collided with him. His left leg appeared to be pushed out to the side.

Ravens special teams might be special again.

With Keaton Mitchell popping off, Rasheen Ali needed to show something tonight. While he hasn't done much on offense, he just broke a big 69-yard kick return.

Ravens 6th-round rookie CB Bilhal Kone, who dealt with injury earlier in camp, left the game on a cart after suffering a knee injury.

Well. I guess the punt returner position is decided. Lajohntay Wester followed up a long return with a TD return. Now, he just has to keep consistently catching the ball because, as John Harbaugh said this week,
"Your punt catcher is more important than your punt returner."

Keaton Mitchell is (almost) all the way back, y'all. Now, to keep it going in the regular season.

As Ravens open preseason vs. Colts, Tyler Loop and Mike Green loom large After nearly seven months without a Ravens game, preseason football will have to suffice.

08/04 Ravens training camp updates

- Summary of how today went
- what to expect from joint practices tomorrow

Went too long, so part 2 is in the replies!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

According to the team, Lamar Jackson will not be at practice. But don't worry, it's not an injury. It's an excused absence for a "pre-planned personal matter."

How Ravens rookie Malaki Starks found home — and then his voice Malaki Starks wants his story to be told.

“I’ve always told him, ‘Malaki, everybody has a story,” Tisha Starks said. “We’re not ashamed of our background."

After years of keeping quiet, the Starks family wants their journey from homelessness to help others dare to dream.

08/03 Ravens Stadium Practice

(plus some stuff from yesterday 🙈)

⤴️ Keaton Mitchell
⤴️ Cooper Rush
⤵️ John Hoyland

Watch / follow @sports.thebaltimorebanner.com for more:

Tyler Loop made a 60 yard field goal at the stadium practice, and fans cheered “LOOOOOP!” Randy Brown ran with his hands in the air, and Jordan Stout grabbed Loop’s shoulders in congratulations.

From Jonas Shaffer: Emery Jones Jr. (shoulder) is still waiting to be cleared by doctors before he can get on the practice field, per John Harbaugh.

The Ravens were hoping for a mid-camp return. No updated timetable yet.

“Until he’s out there, he’s not out there.”

Tyler Loop did not kick today. He is now the only kicker on the roster after the Ravens waived John Hoyland.

Biggest tackle of this no-pads practice: Zay Flowers ran down WR coach Greg Lewis and took him all the way to the ground.

Jaire Alexander just picked off Lamar and the entire defense went running to him and jumping up and down around him (similar to the D-line celebration from last year). It’s his first pick of Ravens training camp.

07/31/25 Ravens training camp update

⤴️ Lamar Jackson
⤴️ Dayton Wade
⤴️ Sanoussi Kane

⤵️ O line

Got it in before the rain! Follow @sports.thebaltimorebanner.com for more.

QB Tee Martin said Lamar Jackson was able to find WR DeAndre Hopkins for a TD after a play went wrong. You don’t usually see that level of trust with a new WR and QB this early in camp, Martin said.

Ravens OC Todd Monken said he thought Derrick Henry looked 28 when he was 14. He couldn’t believe he was a RB when he met him on a visit to the Jacksonville Jags facility.

Joked Henry was rubbing it in that he was right over Monken today.

DC Zach Orr said Trenton Simpson will leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding ways to be the best LB he can be. He charged him with focusing on his eyes and his footwork, and Simpson has been taking that guidance very seriously.

Ravens get CBs Jalyn Armour-Davis and Bilhal Kone back but are missing both WRs Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. TE Isaiah Likely and RB Marcus Major Jr. are the other absences.
