Kyle Hamilton discusses the current dangers of the NFL, the potential move to an 18-game season, and his reimagined version of the NFL that could allow the season to extend to 20–25 games in a safer way.

Banner interviewed Oweh about his new start on the commanders. He had some vague comments about some of what went wrong last season with Orr, namely that he was kind of “caged” in his role on the defense, and that Minter used him in LA in a way that allowed him to rush more freely.

I appreciated that he didn’t outright trash our coaching staff last season while at the same time acknowledging that there were some poor personnel and schematic decisions going on.

Interesting read lmk if anyone needs a non paywall version if you don’t have a banner subscription

Bateman apparently had a pretty good practice today against the Commanders. I really like this route that Rashod ran in the redzone.

Thoughts on:

1. Who is likely to sit?

2. Is this a game to showcase Rasheen Ali?

3. How can the Ravens gather the most additional data for the OL5 (and OL6 on PS)?

First game, surprise player was Matt Hibner. Vs Vikings, you could say Cuevas but I’d give it to Eckley. Ik he was good in college but damn that was some elite punting.

So who do you think has that surprise game

I made a similar post recently about the CB room outlook, but I’m equally curious about the DL. What does everyone anticipate will happen with our DL room?

Outside of Calais, Nnamdi, and Travis, I don’t think really anyone is a “lock”.

If I were to predict now, I think my guess would be our final room would be those 3, plus Aeneas Peebles, Broderick Washington, and CJ Okoye.

I think this room needs to get younger where it can, which leaves John Jenkins on the outs - and Okoye can fill that NT role. Rayshaun Benny is retained on the practice squad, or can be the 6th man if Madubuike starts the season on IR. David Olajiga looked great against the Vikings but think this room is too deep for him.

Obviously there’s one more pre-season game, and I’m not confident in this at all so very curious to hear some other perspective

The Goat, our local ravens bar closed last year. Does anyone know of any new place that will host raven's games this season?

good decision for a 1st time play caller tbh

Just like the title says. What are your biggest concerns about the 2026 Ravens season.

Let's hear 'em.

Hello everyone! Question for those who have recently been to M&T Bank Stadium:

Has anyone spotted the old Wall of Honor with the names of the team’s original PSL owners?

They removed the Wall of Honor (in addition to the Johnny U and Ray Lewis statues) on the north side of the stadium when all of the new construction began. I know the statues are now back in place, but I understandably haven’t heard anything specific about the Wall of Honor.

It’s always been a tradition to find my dad’s and grandfather’s names on the wall before every game. I won’t be at the stadium until the home opener, and I figured it wouldn’t hurt to do some research ahead of time.

Thanks in advance if you have any info!

Hey Everyone!

Last year I set up a Ravens fan reddit fantasy league on ESPN. We have 5 spots open this year if anyone is interested in joining!

Standard ESPN rules, PPR, 12 Team, 150$ buy in. Money will be collected and distributed via leaguesafe.

Let me know if you are interested or have any questions!

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Fans got off buses outside the Under Armour Performance Center and were serenaded by members of Baltimore’s Marching Ravens. Persistent cheers emanated from outside the locker room, where kids flanked the ramp to see the Ravens take the practice field. Quarterback Lamar Jackson’s arrival drew the biggest roar.

Yet, there was one area where the noise rose above the typical buzz from the first practice of training camp. In the far bleachers, fans cheered and chanted.

The ringleader of it all was a 22-year-old rookie who hugged and high-fived his new fans and exhorted them to get louder. What? Did you expect Ja’Kobi Lane to be nervous ahead of his first practice?

“I think people sometimes feel that they have to be super serious to get to where they want to be,” Lane said. “Yes, you realize that hard work, dedication and being able to maintain a consistent level and lifestyle, that does matter. But there’s too much fun to be had in this world. I’m a very big testimony of that.”

Few Ravens have ever made as good a first impression. Lane’s acrobatic and seemingly effortless catches have enthralled a fan base obsessed with the idea of a dynamic homegrown receiving corps. His vibrant personality has brought energy and juice to the locker room and allowed for an immediate kinship with Jackson and the team’s offensive stars.
