Saturday, Aug. 1
Ravens kicker Tyler Loop took another step toward moving past last season's horrific finish by coming through under pressure on Saturday.
Before 20,185 fans at the University of Maryland's SECU Stadium, Loop drilled a 43-yard kick to end practice, setting off a celebration among the players and earning a hug from quarterback Lamar Jackson. The players would have had to do 50 pushups if Loop had missed.
"There's people here and there is something on the line," Ravens coach Jesse Minter said. "It's hard to create those types of environment."
It was about seven months ago when Loop missed a 44-yard field goal attempt in a 26-24 loss at the Pittsburgh Steelers that ended Baltimore's season. The Ravens have shown their confidence in Loop by not bringing in another kicker to compete against him.
"He was a rookie. Things happen," Jackson said. "I know he has a lot of motivation in himself. We have all the trust and belief in him, as well."

More observations from the day:
Lamar Jackson was 8-of-10 in limited work and threw his second interception of camp. Jackson was picked off by backup cornerback Keyon Martin, who has had a strong start to camp. "He's got a knack for the ball," Jackson said. "He's a guy who's hungry. He wants to be a difference-maker for the defense."
After three days of practice, Minter gave three veteran players the day off: running back Derrick Henry, offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley and outside linebacker Trey Hendrickson.
Minter said the Ravens' first padded practice will be Monday.
Friday, July 31
On a day when the Ravens' defense dominated, defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver spoke after practice about how he's getting J.J. Watt vibes from edge rusher Trey Hendrickson.
"They're different from a playing style standpoint, but just in terms of demeanor on the field," said Weaver, who coached Watt for five seasons. "If I wanted to prod Trey, I'll be like, 'Are you out here today?' Then, he would rip somebody's face off because he's that competitive."
Hendrickson, who signed a four-year, $112 million contract with Baltimore this offseason, made his presence known toward the end of Friday's practice when he beat a double team to get to quarterback Lamar Jackson. The addition of Hendrickson is expected to boost a Ravens pass rush that was tied for the third-fewest sacks (30) in the league last season.
Hendrickson's 39 sacks over the past three seasons are the third-most in the NFL over that span. After practice, Hendrickson indicated he's not making predictions on how good the Baltimore pass rush can be this season.
"I'm into being the best version of myself that I can be," Hendrickson said. "As far as predictions I can give you ... we're going to hit when the pads come on."
Other observations:
Jackson's first interception of camp ended a frustrating practice for the offense. In a fourth-down situation, Jackson threw the ball up and got picked off by safety Malaki Starks. Jackson, who was 8-of-15 on Friday, punched the ground afterward.
The defense covered so well that quarterbacks repeatedly didn't have anywhere to throw the ball. Backup cornerback Keyon Martin had a strong day, contesting one incompleted pass in the end zone and breaking up another throw in the red zone.
Kicker Tyler Loop made all three of his attempts, hitting from 34, 35 and 56 yards. He is looking to bounce back from the season finale, when his missed 44-yard kick ended Baltimore's season.
Thursday, July 30
Ravens rookie wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane gives Lamar Jackson something he's never really had -- a young target with tremendous leaping ability.
On Thursday, Lane electrified the crowd by extending for a 30-yard catch over the middle of the field. He pulled in Jackson's pass while elevating over cornerback Marlon Humphrey and safety Malaki Starks.
"I think Ja'Kobi is a confident player," Ravens coach Jesse Minter said. "I think a lot of the guys that are picked are confident players. The confidence has to come to do it day after day, period after period, and then the teammates gain confidence in them when they do that."
If Lane continues to make plays like this, he could quickly move up the depth chart. Zay Flowers is the unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver, and Rashod Bateman is currently No. 2 despite a disappointing 2025 season.
The No. 3 wide receiver spot could come down to Lane, rookie fourth-round pick Elijah Sarratt and third-year veteran Devontez Walker.
Other observations:
Backup QB Tyler Huntley delivered the first interceptions of Ravens training camp, and those came on back-to-back throws. It's been a rough start to camp for Huntley, who was picked off by Chidobe Awuzie and Keondre Jackson.
Minter said Jackson is "unbelievably further ahead" in the new offense from the first practices in May. Jackson has been extremely sharp in the first two days of camp and completed 8-of-11 passes in Thursday's practice.
DT Nnamdi Madubuike practiced for the second straight day after being sidelined 10 months with a neck injury. Madubuike is expected to work off to the side for the next week or so before participating in team drills.
Wednesday, July 29
During the Baltimore Ravens' first practice of training camp, Pro Bowl safety Kyle Hamilton noticed that Lamar Jackson isn't running like a quarterback who is nearing 30 years old.
"I feel like he might've gotten faster somehow," Hamilton said. "I don't want to age him, but he's turning a certain age next year [January] and it doesn't seem like that. I feel like he got faster. I feel like he ran today. It was really fast."
Jackson's speed came into question last season, when he totaled a career-low 349 yards rushing. It was the first season in which he didn't break a run longer than 20 yards.
On Wednesday, Jackson not only moved better but he was on point throwing the ball. He started the day by completing a throw deep down the middle of the field to Zay Flowers and finished 10-of-13 passing.
Entering his ninth season, Jackson believes his best football remains ahead of him.
"Because each and every year you're getting older, your mind is getting sharper," Jackson said. "Everything is slowing down even more. It's like you done seen anything a defense can bring at you."
More observations:
Rashod Bateman, who is projected to be the Ravens' No. 2 wide receiver, was in sync with Jackson at the start of camp despite not participating in the voluntary practices in the spring and mandatory minicamp. He found a hole in the defense for a catch over the middle and then caught a perfectly thrown pass over his shoulder for one of the deepest completions of the day.
Defensive end Calais Campbell was excused from the first practice as he deals with a personal tragedy. Earlier this month, his brother was charged with murder after police found their 71-year-old mother dead at a home in Atlanta during a welfare check. His family told police he struggled with mental illness. "We're here for Calais to get ready at the rate that he can get ready at," coach Jesse Minter said.
Tuesday, July 28
The Ravens reported to their first training camp under Minter and spoke about the different energy that the new coach has brought to the team.
"I think he just brings a positive mentality and optimistic outlook on every individual in the building," said offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, who is entering his 11th season and is the longest-tenured player on the team. "He just pumps belief into the players, and I think that's just his big focus on coming into this team."
Minter is replacing John Harbaugh, who was fired after coaching Baltimore from 2008 to 2025.
One of the biggest changes under Minter has been the timing of the training camp practices. Minter has moved the Ravens' workouts to the morning after years of afternoon workouts with Harbaugh.
"I love being able to kind of wake up, kind of beat the heat a little bit and get going," tight end Mark Andrews said.
More observations:
Pro Bowl defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike could soon return to practice for the first time in 10 months. Madubuike missed the last 15 games of last season with a neck injury, which required surgery in April. "I just know how badly he wants it and how much playing here means to him," Andrews said.
Edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, who was the Ravens' top free-agent signing, has impressed teammates with his work ethic. He participated in all the voluntary practices this spring and remained to work out at the team facility all summer. "Trey is honestly one of the hardest workers I've been around," outside linebacker Tavius Robinson said.
Running back Derrick Henry enters his 11th NFL season as the league's leader in carries (2,662), rushing yards (13,018) and rushing touchdowns (122) among active players. How long can Henry continue playing? "As long as he's having fun and he feels good, he could play as long as he wants because they don't build humans like that," Stanley said. "So there's not many challengers, I'd say."
