Ravens' Calais Campbell points to missed opportunity after Derrick Henry turnover appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Coach Jesse Minter's Baltimore Ravens lost a 13-10 road contest to Todd Monken's Cleveland Browns on a day when Derrick Henry took accountability for a crucial fumble. Tyler 'Snoop' Huntley showed his value to the team with a decent game, but missed opportunities haunted the Ravens QB, and defense, as the smoked cleared on a rough loss.
Afterward, Ravens defensive tackle Calais Campbell pointed out a missed opportunity following the Henry turnover.
"We got a good gameplan…I think that we executed well, it was just one of those days where we didn't do enough to win it. It would have been nice to have a TV timeout there (after the fumble)…We had to just go, I think that hurt us because they got seven…We gotta find a way to protect our brother in that moment and figure out a way to hold them to three (points). We gotta find a way to make those plays."

The Indianapolis Colts open the regular season at home against the Baltimore Ravens.
To help us preview this matchup, Glenn Erby, the managing editor of Ravens Wire, answered a handful of our questions to provide some insights into this Baltimore team.
Ravens Wire: Minter has been organized, direct, and consistent since taking over. He brings energy without manufacturing it, and players have responded to his detailed but collaborative approach. He has also allowed his coordinators to establish their identities while remaining heavily involved with the defense. The biggest takeaway is that he appears comfortable leading the entire operation rather than simply functioning as a defensive-minded head coach. The regular season will present different challenges, but the transition from John Harbaugh has been smoother than many expected.
Ravens Wire: Baltimore's defensive front should be its biggest strength. The Ravens added Trey Hendrickson to a group that could regain Nnamdi Madubuike while also featuring Calais Campbell, Travis Jones, and second-round pick Zion Young. Roquan Smith and Kyle Hamilton give the defense elite talent behind that front. If Madubuike remains healthy, Baltimore should be able to stop the run without sacrificing its ability to pressure quarterbacks.
Ravens Wire: The interior offensive line is the primary concern. Baltimore will start Jovaughn Gwyn at center and rookie first-round pick Vega Ioane at right guard. Gwyn has never started an NFL game, while Ioane will make his regular-season debut against DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart. The Ravens are also installing Declan Doyle's offense, so communication and protection errors could occur early. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry can cover plenty of weaknesses, but Indianapolis has the personnel to test that inexperienced interior.

The Baltimore Ravens brought Calais Campbell back for so many different reasons. Many of the most important are obvious. They needed help at edge rusher, and it was beneficial to add a veteran presence where they feature so many youngsters.
That's especially true now that Kyle Van Noy is gone, but it also doesn't hurt that Campbell still plays at a high level. As training camp has unfolded, however, it has become increasingly clear that his value extends far beyond what he contributes between the whistles.
Defensive line coach Lou Esposito was one of the Ravens who met with reporters on Tuesday. As expected. he was asked about Campbell's influence on a young defensive line room. His answer revealed something larger than veteran leadership. Esposito described a player who is actively teaching while still performing, serving as a mentor, culture carrier, and resource for an entire locker room.
"The knowledge that the young guys get, and not even just the young guys, [the knowledge] everyone in the room gets from him is priceless. He is consistently trying to pay it forward, consistently trying to help guys out, consistently [saying], 'Hey, what do you think about this? What happens if you tweak this stance? What happens if you line up like that? In this call, this is where the stress is.' So, he has been awesome, and at the same time, getting his body right, he is a master of his craft, and that is why he has played for so long in the NFL."
Those aren't simply motivational conversations. Those are coaching conversations. The interesting part of Campbell's return isn't simply that he remains productive deep into his NFL career. It is that he has become an extension of the coaching staff while still occupying a roster spot.

The Baltimore Ravens continue to process the loss of one of the franchise's beloved figures after learning of O.J. Brigance's passing at the age of 56. While many around the organization have reflected on Brigance's remarkable battle with ALS and his lasting impact on the franchise, stories about how special he was continue to pour in.
Jesse Minter, defensive line coach Lou Esposito, and Calais Campbell spoke with the media on Tuesday. Baltimore's head coach offered one of his more personal memories. When asked about Brigance following the team's closed walkthrough before departing for Minnesota, Minter didn't begin with football accomplishments or organizational ***** les. Instead, he recalled a simple gesture from years ago that helped establish a relationship he would never forget.
"To me, the biggest impact, like when I first got hired here the first time, O.J. Brigance sent me an email, and then we sort of started exchanging some emails every so often about different things throughout the season."
For Minter, those exchanges offered an early glimpse into the type of person Brigance was. Minter continued with his thought, offering some behind-the-scenes access into part of what truly made his friend special.
"Just the wisdom, the strength that that guy showed... I mean, he is like everything that you want this organization to be about. "He means a lot to this place. He means a lot to everybody that has been here. He has impacted this place, maybe as much as anybody, just with what he has brought to the building."

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — NFL veteran Calais Campbell knew he wanted to keep playing, even after a family tragedy this summer resulting in his mother's death and his brother being charged with murder.
"I love the game of football a lot … it brings me joy," the 39-year-old Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman said Tuesday in his first public remarks since his mother's death. "It was a little harder training, but as far as football goes, I love this game a lot. And this is a very fun place for me to be. So playing football has been great for me."
The Ravens signed the six-time Pro Bowler in April to a one-year deal for his 19th NFL season.
In late June, police found his 71-year-old mother dead at her home in Atlanta during a welfare check. Her 41-year-old son Ciarre Campbell was charged with murder after he was found with a knife, according to arrest warrants. The family told police that Ciarre struggles with mental illness.
The Ravens permitted Calais Campbell to miss the first few full-team practices of training camp. He participated in his first team session on Aug. 3, five days after the Ravens opened full-team camp.

Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Calais Campbell spoke to the media for the first time since his mother's tragic death.
"These last couple months have been pretty tough on me and my family, but we're working through it. I really appreciate all the love and support and prayers that have been coming from all over the NFL community, all the fan bases and you guys as well. I appreciate the prayers," Campbell told reporters on Tuesday, Aug. 18. "Continue praying for us because we need it."
Campbell and his family endured unfathomable tragedy in June.
One of Campbell's brothers, Ciarre, was arrested on multiple charges, including murder, after the family's mother, Nateal, was found dead inside an Atlanta home on June 30 during a welfare check.
Ciarre was later booked on charges of murder, aggravated **** ault, and possession of a firearm or knife during commission of or attempt to commit certain felonies, according to Fulton County (Georgia) Jail records.

As has been stated repeatedly throughout the offseason, the Baltimore Ravens are navigating unfamiliar territory. A franchise known for stability has undergone significant change in a relatively short period of time. Coordinators have departed. Jesse Minter became only the fourth head coach in franchise history.
New voices have been added throughout the building and on the roster, with veteran Calais Campbell among the most significant of the latter. He's certainly a great veteran pickup for a young defense with stars or stars in the making at every level. Much of the focus has naturally centered on how all of those changes are being received by the players expected to lead Baltimore's next chapter.
When Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Roquan Smith, Kyle Hamilton or Zay Flowers speak, people listen. Their opinions often become headlines because of their stature within the organization. Recently, however, one of the most telling endorsements came from a quieter voice. Running back Justice Hill may not command the same spotlight as some of Baltimore's biggest stars, but his perspective on new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle is worth noting.
Recently, he spoke with media members after a practice and complimented new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, calling him "the most detail-oriented" offensive coordinator that he's worked with.
At first glance, the comment might sound like routine training camp praise. The context makes it far more interesting. Hill isn't comparing Doyle to an unknown list of ****** istants. During his seven seasons in Baltimore, he has played for Greg Roman and Todd Monken. Those are pretty detailed offensive minds in their own right.

The Baltimore Ravens do not lack star power on defense.
Trey Hendrickson gives Baltimore a premier edge rusher. Roquan Smith remains the centerpiece at inside linebacker. Kyle Hamilton and Malaki Starks could form one of the NFL's most versatile safety duos, while Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, and Chidobe Awuzie give the secondary established names at cornerback. Nnamdi Madubuike, Travis Jones, Calais Campbell, and Broderick Washington headline a defensive front with power, experience, and proven production.
Training camp, however, is rarely defined only by the stars. Baltimore's championship hopes could also depend on the players fighting for rotational roles, special teams spots, and final roster positions. Those names will not receive the same daily attention, but they could shape the depth chart once pads come on.
Here are under-the-radar defensive players to watch when Ravens training camp opens.
Peebles is one of the more intriguing defensive linemen on the roster because his path is tied to Baltimore's depth up front. The Ravens have high-end talent on the defensive line, but Anthony Weaver's group will need more than four trusted players to survive a full season. Peebles has an opportunity to show he can provide interior quickness, disruptiveness, and energy behind the established rotation. If he flashes during one-on-one periods and holds up against the run in team drills, he could force the Ravens to think hard about keeping another young defensive lineman.

After months of waiting, we're less than 25 days from the start of Jesse Minter's first training camp since taking over as Ravens head coach after John Harbaugh was fired. The Baltimore Ravens have one of the NFL’s most talented defensive rosters, but training camp will not be decided only by the stars.
Minter and Anthony Weaver have established names to build around on defense, including Kyle Hamilton, Roquan Smith, Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, Malaki Starks, Nnamdi Madubuike, Trey Hendrickson, and Calais Campbell. The deeper battles will matter, too. Baltimore has several under-the-radar defenders fighting for roster spots, practice squad roles, or bigger opportunities after spending the past year developing in the system.
Here are five Ravens defensive sleepers to watch at each position entering training camp.
Olajiga is one of Baltimore’s more interesting developmental defensive linemen because of his size, background, and pathway into the organization. The 6-foot-3, 315-pound lineman signed with the Ravens’ practice squad in October 2025 through the International Player Pathway Program after spending time with the Patriots and Rams. Baltimore later signed him to a reserve/future deal, giving him a full offseason to continue developing inside the Ravens’ defensive front.
Olajiga spent last season on the practice squad, which makes this training camp even more important. His case has to be built on traits, strength, and improvement. The Ravens have proven veterans and young interior defenders ahead of him, so Olajiga needs to show he can anchor against the run, create pocket push, and handle the physical demands of padded practices.

One of the brothers of Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Calais Campbell has been charged with murder after their mother was found dead inside her Atlanta home.
Ciarre Campbell, 41, was booked Wednesday morning on charges of murder, aggravated ******* ault, and possession of a firearm or knife during commission of or attempt to commit certain felonies, according to Fulton County (Georgia) Jail records.
Nateal Campbell, 71, was found unresponsive on Tuesday, June 30 at her Atlanta area home after a welfare check was called in, according to WSB-TV.
Nateal Campbell was listed as a co-founder – along with Calais, Ciarre and her six other children – of the CRC Foundation. The family established the organization in honor of her late husband, Charles Richard Campbell, who died in 2003.
"We are devastated to share that the Campbell Family has lost its matriarch, Mrs. Nateal Campbell," the Campbell family said in a statement on Tuesday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and ESPN. "While the details of her passing are still being investigated, we take comfort in knowing she is reunited with our father, her beloved Chuck, and in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We ask for privacy at this time so that we may honor her and share in our overwhelming grief privately and as a family."

The Ravens entered offseason workouts with several roster questions, and minicamp helped identify which young players and newcomers are beginning to move closer to real roles before training camp.
Baltimore is still built around Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Roquan Smith, Kyle Hamilton, and a veteran core with championship expectations, but the next wave matters. The AFC North rarely gives teams time to wait on development, and the Ravens need immediate contributions from rookies, second-year players, and depth pieces who can strengthen the roster around established starters. After OTAs and minicamp, several players have improved their standing, either by flashing athletic traits, taking advantage of available reps, or fitting clearly into roles the coaching staff can use when practices become more physical.
Randall may be one of the more intriguing offensive risers because of how many ways the Ravens can use him. The former Clemson playmaker arrived with a unique background after becoming one of the few players in program history to record at least 750 rushing yards and 750 passing yards, and that versatility gives offensive coordinator Declan Doyle another movable piece behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. Randall does not have to become a high-volume player immediately to matter. If he can handle motion, backfield touches, gadget packages, and special teams work, he gives Baltimore a different offensive layer and a creative way to stress defenses already accounting for Jackson’s legs and Henry’s power.
Sarratt has steadily pushed himself into the receiver conversation by looking like the kind of dependable target who can earn trust quickly. The former Indiana standout arrived after catching 65 passes for 830 yards and 15 touchdowns for the national champion Hoosiers, and his path to early work is tied to reliability. Baltimore has Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Ja’Kobi Lane, Devontez Walker, and several other receivers competing for snaps, but Sarratt’s route detail, hands, and ability to finish plays give him a chance to carve out a specific role. If Jackson trusts him on third down, in the red zone, or in condensed formations, Sarratt can become more than a developmental rookie.
Young entered the offseason facing a crowded edge room, but he has the athletic profile and college production to force his way into the rotation. Trey Hendrickson is expected to lead the group, while Mike Green, Tavius Robinson, and Calais Campbell will all impact the pass-rush structure, but Young’s burst and organic football violence give Baltimore another option off the edge. He had 9.5 tackles for loss, nine sacks, 37 quarterback hurries, and nine quarterback hits in his final season at Missouri, and those traits matter in a defense that wants to keep pressure fresh across four quarters. If Young continues stacking good practices, he can earn rotational snaps as a rookie pass rusher.

LSU football added a talented Louisiana wide receiver to its 2027 recruiting class, flipping Gary Burney Jr. from Houston. Burney committed to the Tigers in the midst of his official visit on LSU's campus.
Per the Rivals Industry Rankings, Burney is the No. 847-ranked prospect in the class, No. 122 wide receiver, and sits No. 17 in the state of Louisiana. 247Sports is higher on Burney, ranking the Bossier City native as the No. 75 wideout in the class. Lane Kiffin's staff has made it a priority to keep Louisiana kids at home and the Tigers earn another win here.
Burney is the 14th player in the 2027 class to commit to LSU. The Tigers' class ranks No. 10 in the country, and that mark could improve in the coming days as LSU makes a push with several blue-chip recruits.
Burney is the fourth wide receiver to commit to LSU this cycle and the second WR from Louisiana, joining Braylon Calais. With the official visit season wrapping up, multiple recruiting dominoes will fall over the next month.

The Baltimore Ravens bolstered their defensive line by reuniting with veteran Calais Campbell this offseason. An NFL player reaching their 19th season is almost unheard of, especially for defensive linemen, which naturally leads to questions regarding how much longer Campbell can continue to play. This is a question Campbell must confront after the end of every season, and every year he gears up for what he believes will be his last ride.
“I always tell myself — and this year I feel it as strongly as ever — that this is probably going to be my last year,” Campbell said at mandatory minicamp when asked if he would hang up the cleats after this season.
“I know I said that last year and the year before, but I genuinely meant it at the time,” he added. “I always tell myself to play well enough to be able to get a job again if I want to. If I go out there and perform to the level I want to play, I’m probably going to have to turn somebody down next year. That’s the ideal scenario.”
Campbell, who will turn 40 before the start of the season, still performed at a high level with the Arizona Cardinals in 2025. His 6.5 sacks last year would have been the most of any player on the Ravens, as Travis Jones led Baltimore with five.
Playing 19 seasons in the NFL is already a major accomplishment, but Campbell’s impressive longevity can be cemented in history this year. With just five more games played, Campbell will pass Jim Marshall for the most games played by an NFL defensive lineman.

The Ravens will learn far more when the pads come on in July, but minicamp still offered several useful clues about how Baltimore’s roster could take shape entering training camp.
The first observation starts with the offense. Lamar Jackson looked comfortable operating in Declan Doyle’s system, and the early messaging from players has centered on detail, structure, and explosive-play intent. That matters because Baltimore is not simply trying to rely on Jackson’s improvisational brilliance. The Ravens are trying to build an offense with more defined answers, more ***** ing, and more ways to create big plays without forcing them.
The rookie wide receivers also made the summer more interesting. Elijah Sarratt flashed with his ability to separate, work from the slot, and create big-play moments, while Ja’Kobi Lane gives Baltimore a bigger target who could push for red-zone and contested-catch work. Both players enter training camp with a real opportunity because the Ravens need more receiving depth behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.
The offensive line remains one of the biggest camp storylines. Vega Ioane looks positioned to start immediately at guard, while Danny Pinter, Jovaughn Gwyn, and Corey Bullock will continue battling for the center job after Tyler Linderbaum’s departure. That competition will not truly settle until pads come on, but minicamp made clear that Baltimore is preparing for a reshaped interior.
Defensively, Zion Young’s development will be worth tracking. The rookie edge rusher joins a crowded group with Trey Hendrickson, Mike Green, Tavius Robinson, and Calais Campbell, but his burst and college production give him a path to rotational snaps.

Tavius Robinson found a new way to make an impact for the Baltimore Ravens, and this one had nothing to do with setting the edge or rushing the passer. The Ravens used the massive outside linebacker as a fake mannequin during Media Day, dressing him in one of the team's new uniforms and placing him in a position to surprise unsuspecting teammates and employees. Robinson stayed still long enough to blend into the setup before suddenly moving, creating some of the funniest and most startled reactions of the offseason.
Baltimore posted the video with the caption, "Tavius Robinson Pranks Teammates As Mannequin On Media Day," and the reactions quickly became the highlight. Trenton Simpson, Kyle Hamilton, and rookie edge rusher Mike Green were among the Ravens caught off guard by Robinson's commitment to the bit.
The setup worked because Robinson looked the part. At 6-foot-6 and 262 pounds, he already has the kind of frame that makes him stand out, and dressing him in full uniform as part of a display made the prank believable enough to fool teammates walking through the Media Day area. Once Robinson moved, the reactions ranged from startled jumps to laughter, with several players and staffers needing a moment to process that the mannequin was actually one of their teammates. Only the equally massive Calais Campbell and quarterback Lamar Jackson seemed unfazed by the prank.
The video also gave the Ravens a lighter offseason moment as the team continues mandatory minicamp and prepares for training camp later this summer. Media Day is typically centered on uniform shots, video content, player portraits, and promotional material, but Baltimore turned the setting into an opportunity to showcase personality inside the building.
Robinson's role in the prank also fits his growing presence on the roster. The Canadian edge defender is entering an important season for a Ravens defense that has added talent and competition around the pass rush. Baltimore has Trey Hendrickson, Mike Green, Adisa Isaac, Zion Young, Kaimon Rucker, and others in the edge group, making Robinson's summer one to watch as the team sorts through roles under defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.
