Couple of minutes of Lane catches

Zay was hurt in practice, a quad contusion, Charlie horse for us old folks, day to day per CBS

Not an easy catch being able to see coming over to break it up at the same time. Granted he knew there would be no big hit because of practice. But the kid has great hands.

Some great throws, outstanding catch by Bateman and others

Good, love the chippiness, one thing this team lost the past few years under Harbs was physicality. "There was never a punch thrown or anything, so I do not think it got to that level,” Minter said. “It was just a reminder of the whole reason we are out here is to make each other better, help us get ready to play when we are playing against somebody else. You love the physicality. We wanted it to be a really physical day. We wanted it to be a long practice. We wanted them to kind of fight through some things — long drive drills, where it is intentionally an eight- or nine-play drive, regardless of the down and distance. “You want to be able to do all that with a high, high level of physicality and also keep your wits about you. I know that in a game, people do things. People tug on your jersey after the play, try to get you to respond, chirp in your ear (to) try to get you to respond. We just have to be so dialed in on why we are out here — making each other better.” What You Should Read Next In Zay Flowers, the WR-starved Ravens found an ideal fit and paid him accordingly In Zay Flowers, the WR-starved Ravens found an ideal fit and paid him accordingly In three short years, Flowers has already made a compelling case that he’s the best homegrown wide receiver the team has ever produced. Ethan Pocic will get shot Minter has consistently said the Ravens will have a legitimate competition at center, yet veteran Danny Pinter continues to dominate the first-team reps. Minter, however, said he expects Pocic to get an opportunity with the starters later in training camp. “It is all part of a plan,” Minter said. “Again, I think the other guys, from a knowledge and terminology standpoint, they’ve been here the whole time. (Pocic) gets here the first day of camp. He has really been in this system now for not even two full weeks. We are letting him catch up.” Other camp notes • The Ravens had five absences to start practice, and two other players left the workout early for heat/illness-related reasons. Wide receiver Dayton Wade, defensive lineman Aeneas Peebles and inside linebacker Carl Jones each missed their second consecutive practice. Inside linebacker Teddye Buchanan (knee) and nose tackle Travis Jones (pectoral) both remain on the physically unable to perform list. Veteran left tackle Ronnie Stanley and nose tackle C.J. Okoye also departed practice for precautionary reasons. Hendrickson missed a handful of reps to get his arm looked at by members of the athletic training staff. • Andrews made several catches in Thursday’s practice, but he also had another routine drop during the seven-on-seven period. Andrews has had some issues with drops early in camp, and he also fumbled a ball in Wednesday’s rain-soaked practice. With rookies Matt Hibner and Josh Cuevas on the depth chart and veteran tight end Durham Smythe expected to be used in a blocking role, the Ravens badly need a bounce-back year from Andrews. • Cornerback T.J. Tampa caused a turnover in the first full-team session, stripping running back Rasheen Ali, who had caught a screen pass and headed upfield. Undrafted rookie inside linebacker Dominic DeLuca pounced on the loose ball. • Lamar Jackson showed some frustration Thursday, spiking his helmet to the ground after the game clock hit zero without the Ravens being able to get off another play in a two-minute drill. Jackson hit Smythe down the seam, but the veteran tight end was touched down just outside of the end zone with about six seconds left. Jackson and the rest of the offense hustled to the line of scrimmage, but the clock hit zero before they could snap the ball. • Kicker Tyler Loop has bounced back well from an inconsistent performance at Saturday’s stadium practice at the University of Maryland, connecting on all seven of his field goal attempts Thursday. His longest was from 61 yards, which he made with plenty of room to spare. The Ravens continue to evaluate Loop and the potential need to bring in competition. However, they remain confident he’s the man for the job. • The Ravens had a live tackling session in a goal-line period late in Thursday’s practice with many of the young players on the field. Undrafted rookie linebacker Reid Williford made the play of the session, spilling rookie back Adam Randall behind the line of scrimmage https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7497424/2026/08/06/rashod-bateman-ravens-offense-training-camp/

Hi praise from Doyle, but I've seen and have vids of guys like Clarence Moore with the same skill set, go bonkers on practice with incredible catch after catch. Only to disappear in games and drop most. Zay Flowers landed a big new contract in Baltimore this week, but he’s not the only wideout that the Ravens are excited about for the 2026 season. Third-round pick Ja’Kobi Lane is off to a strong start at training camp and his playing style reminds offensive coordinator Declan Doyle of someone he worked with earlier in his career. Doyle was a Saints offensive assistant from 2019-2022 and Michael Thomas was in New Orleans at that time. On Wednesday, Doyle invoked Thomas’s name while discussing Lane’s play this summer. “He’s got this huge catch radius. He’s got great hands. He’s very sticky,” Doyle said, via the team’s website. “Mike Thomas had these strong hands where he could pull it down, in a way, if you threw it in the vicinity, you felt like he was going to go get it. He’s a very friendly guy to throw to.” Thomas kicked off his career with a 92-catch season for the Saints in 2016. With Flowers, Rashod Bateman and others on hand in Baltimore, Lane may not approach that kind of volume but continuing to look like Thomas into the regular season should serve him well as he kicks off his NFL career. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk

Good see him back & healthy and to hear that the coaches are not chosing a center yet

Stanley will be gone next year, $22 mil saved in cap, $28 mil dead cap, pretty much anything wash. Figure Rose will move to left tackle and Jones to right tackle. If they both work out, that is two years of 2 key players on the cheap at 2 positions that take up decent cap space. Humphrey will be gone, $26 mil cap hit saved, $11 mil dead cap hit, a $15 or so mil savings. Dawkins and company will do just fine replacing him for 3 years on the cheap at a position that takes up a lot of cap space. Andrews gone, another wash in cap savings vs dead money. Replaced by 2 current rookies who, for the next 3 years will be very good, very cheap replacements. $60 mil over? Not any more, the rest in restructuring contracts and a another few cuts replaced by rookie and 1st years.

Yes, yes, I know, every team with a qb worth his salt, plus talent on the roster that is above average, has to have cuts. Shoot, wait till the Falcons have to pay their qb, on top of the record monies paid to their running back now, that was stupid, we agree on never paying top dollar for a runningback, they too will have to make cuts soon... The Rams have been "lucky" so far with drafting though their starting reciever doesnt seem to understand that you bite food not people...... eventually it will catch up to them, especially now with their top defensive end and his pay.

Ledford on Loan

I figured this news would bring you out from under the rock Just an extension for Lamar and if a good majority of this year's draft classmates pan out, the cuts won't matter. Good, solid drafting is the only way to navigate this cap & salaries, just like the Rams

It's a good move on many fronts, perhaps no more important than the message it sends to the rookies. Take care of your self on & off the field, work hard, it will result in production in the field, which then will see you rewarded.

Per NFL dot com The Baltimore Ravens are signing wide receiver Zay Flowers to a four-year, $140 million contract extension that includes $108 million guaranteed, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday. The Ravens later officially announced Flowers had agreed to a multiyear contract extension.

Well, we know that he is not great at down field passing outside the numbers, so since he is working on it, a big part of the Doyle's offense, it is expected that today, his completion % is low. It's nice to hear Lane is standing out, I wonder if Tez is taking a step down. But then, with these reports, they don't have the space to list how everyone did, just the players they think the fans want to hear about. I remember doing camp reports many many moons ago, people thought I was nuts with what I was reporting, which often times was contrary to what the local sports writers were reporting. Then I started shooting video and taking photos to go along with my reports and our fellow fans saw that I was actually being very accurate and the local paid sports reporters, were wrong most of the time. But that was a life time ago

Back to camp news, today's info co Espn On Monday, Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell practiced for the first time since his personal tragedy this offseason. Last month, Campbell's brother was charged with murder after police found their 71-year-old mother dead at home in Atlanta during a welfare check. Campbell's family told police that his brother struggled with mental illness. 'We're excited to work him in, start to ramp him into getting ready," Ravens coach Jesse Minter said. "That'll be at a pace that's good for him." Campbell was not made available to reporters after practice. Last month, the Campbell family issued a statement asking for privacy while they deal with "overwhelming grief." Campbell's participation on Monday was limited to individual drills. The Ravens excused him from practicing for the first week of training camp. Campbell, 39, is entering his 19th NFL season after signing a one-year, $5.5 million contract with Baltimore in April. "He's a force multiplier of just how he operates and the wisdom that he brings," Minter said. "On top of, he's still a really high caliber player for his position." Other observations: In the first padded practice of camp, first-round pick Olaivavega Ioane was looking to make a block downfield and he accidentally collided with running back Derrick Henry, which caused both of them to go to the ground. "Welcome to the league, huh," said Ioane, the Ravens' starting right guard. "Now I know to stay out of his way." Offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford said it's going to take all of training camp for the Ravens to make a decision at starting center. Danny Pinter, Ethan Pocic and Jovaughn Gwyn are competing for that spot. "We want to make sure that we're diligent in giving everybody the opportunity that's here," Ledford said, "and just make sure we get the right guy that we want in there with that first group." Pro Bowl defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike is sporting a new neck roll at practice. Madubuike, who is looking to come back from neck surgery, has suited up but has not participated in individual or team drills. Asked about the neck roll, Minter said, "Whatever makes the players feel their best and play with the most confidence -- it definitely looks like a little bit of a throwback." In one-on-one drills against cornerbacks, rookie third-round pick Ja'Kobi Lane flashed again, beating Chidobe Awuzie and catching a deep pass on a fly route. Lane is off to a fast start to the second week of training camp after a strong first week. He is competing for Baltimore's No. 3 wide receiver spot. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense had their most out of sync practice of camp. Jackson finished 6-of-14 passing (42.8%) after failing to complete his first five passes. He was trying to push the ball downfield more, so there wasn't as many high-percentage throws. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49434567/baltimore-ravens-training-camp-2026-intel-updates

Cool note, remember Jason Brown? Ravens 4th round pick at guard for a few seasons, good guy, good player. He bought a farm after he retired, now grows veggies and stuff for the homeless shelters and other under privileged.

Yep, cant wait, been a while since I was this excited for the season to start

Here is a live stream from Saturday's practice, and hour or so long https://www.youtube.com/live/9JMerj-oIFE?is=qBAahJWbKF7UVW3W

Ah, another ap, I don't use them, too old I guess. So many injuries on other teams already, Panthers lost 2 of their players, hope that injury bug stays far away..mm

I looked for it on both bal channels, but saw nothing, so not sure what they were advertising
