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."

No. 3 Kentucky Volleyball took on No. 13 Penn State inside Wrigley Field in Chicago on Sunday night. Kentucky dominated the matchup, winning in four sets by scores of 25-23, 25-21, 23-25 and 25-15.
With the victory, Kentucky improves to 5-1 on the season, while Penn State falls to 3-1.
One of Kentucky's star players, outside hitter Brooklyn DeLeye, finished with 21 ***** ists and 22 points. Outside hitter Georgia Watson, who is from Huntley, Illinois, about an hour outside Chicago, recorded a perfect hitting percentage and helped seal the victory for Kentucky with the match-winning point in the fourth set.
For Watson to end the game in the place where she grew up, just outside the city of Chicago, must have been a surreal moment for her, as well as for her family and friends.
Setter Kassie O'Brien also had an impressive performance, recording 48 ***** ists, while middle blocker Lizzie Carr led the match with six blocks.

The Baltimore Ravens entered training camp with a quarterback room that appeared largely settled. Lamar Jackson's place atop the depth chart was unquestioned. Tyler Huntley provided an experienced backup option. Beyond that, most attention centered on how the remaining quarterbacks would sort themselves out.
Few would have predicted Joe ******* nano would force his way into the conversation. The undrafted free agent arrived in Baltimore with no guarantees, alongside a more recognizable name in Diego Pavia. He wasn't among the organization's headline rookie additions. As training camp unfolded, opportunities were often difficult to come by, yet by the time the Ravens finalized their initial 53-man roster, ******* nano had accomplished something many longshots never do.
He made himself impossible to ignore.
Head coach Jesse Minter shed light on that journey while discussing Baltimore's roster decisions with the media. In doing so, he offered more insight into one of the Ravens' biggest surprises of the summer.
When asked why the Ravens chose to keep three quarterbacks, Minter's answer was straightforward. What he stated surfaced repeatedly throughout the discussion.

#fagnano #quarterbacks

With roster cuts approaching, this isn't necessarily a prediction of exactly what the Ravens will do. It's how I would construct Baltimore's initial 53-man roster based on preseason performance, positional value, roster flexibility, and the likelihood of certain players making it through waivers.
QB: Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley
RB: Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, Adam Randall
WR: Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Ja'Kobi Lane, Devontez Walker, LaJohntay Wester, Elijah Sarratt
TE: Mark Andrews, Josh Cuevas, Matthew Hibner, Durham Smythe

The Dolphins have announced a wave of cuts, with all clubs set to reduce their rosters to 53 players this weekend.
Miami announced the team has waived cornerback Alex Austin, running back Coleman Bennett, tackle Kevin Cline, edge Seth Coleman-Lyles, tight end Ethan Conner, inside linebacker Stephen Dix Jr., running back Donovan Edwards, defensive lineman Alex Huntley, safety Louis Moore, defensive lineman Cam Rice, inside linebacker Jaheim Thomas and wide receiver Theo Wease Jr.
Miami concluded its preseason slate with a 17-12 loss to the Falcons on Friday night.
All rosters must be reduced to 53 players by Sunday at 6 p.m. ET.

The Baltimore Ravens did not receive simple answers in their preseason finale. They received evidence that several of their most difficult roster decisions are difficult for good reasons. Baltimore rested 33 players and defeated the Washington Commanders 41-3, allowing the coaching staff to devote nearly every meaningful snap to players competing for jobs. Joe ******* nano, Adam Randall, LaJohntay Wester and several young defenders used the opportunity to strengthen their positions.
Here is what the finale revealed about Baltimore's primary roster races.
Fagnano completed 19 of 27 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown, finishing the preseason 56-of-75 for 509 yards, three scores and one interception.
Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley are secure. The decision is whether Baltimore values another position more than the protection of a developmental quarterback who may not clear waivers. ******* nano has made the practice squad route increasingly risky.
Randall produced 70 yards from scrimmage, rushing five times for 25 yards and catching three passes for 45. Ali had 46 yards from scrimmage and continued to show value as a receiver and special teams contributor.

A former fan-favorite NFL event has been eliminated.
The Pro Bowl, formerly a tackle game, and more recently, a flag football and ***** orted competition event, will be discontinued, the NFL said in a statement released on Wednesday afternoon.
Instead of a flag football game, the NFL will try to elevate the status of what it means to be elected a Pro Bowler. There will be 88 players selected and no replacement selections with players, coaches and fans each continuing to account for one-third of the voting.
In recent years, it became increasingly common for the NFL's top names (Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, among other stars) to decline their Pro Bowl invitations, resulting in players such as Tyler Huntley and Shedeur Sanders earning invitations to participate in the annual football game, which made the event feel less meaningful. Instead, the NFL plans to make the honor something worth celebrating again.
"By limiting the honor to the 88 players originally selected, the Pro Bowl presented by Verizon will return its focus squarely to recognizing the league's most outstanding performers, reinforcing the significance of an achievement held in especially high regard by players themselves," the statement continued. "As part of that focus, the NFL will no longer stage an AFC vs. NFC Pro Bowl game. Instead, the league will place greater emphasis on the moment a player is selected, the recognition that accompanies that distinction and bringing the Pro Bowl presented by Verizon class together to celebrate the achievement."

The list of UConn and Connecticut ties in the NFL just keeps growing.
There were nearly 50 players who've suited up and played in the state – at both the college and high school level – that found themselves part of an NFL organization at the start of training camp, hoping for a spot on a final 53-man roster.
Former UConn quarterback Joe **** nano, who former head coach Jim Mora made a Heisman case for after his stellar 2025 season, has been a standout in training camp so far.
Fagnano signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent and outlasted Heisman runner-up Diego Pavia and injured veteran Skylar Thompson for a spot on the preseason roster. He shined in Baltimore's first preseason game, completing 22 of 28 passes for 224 yards, a touchdown and an interception in a win over the Eagles
He then doubled down on Saturday, throwing a second career touchdown as he completed 15 of 20 passes for 123 yards in a 13-3 win over the Vikings. Now challenging veteran Tyler Huntley to be Lamar Jackson's backup, **** nano is the only Ravens QB to have thrown a touchdown pass in the preseason.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — J.J. McCarthy had an erratic start for the Minnesota Vikings, completing 5 of 10 passes for 81 yards in a 13-3 exhibition-game loss to Baltimore on Saturday, after undrafted rookie Joe ******* nano threw a touchdown pass to LaJohntay Wester for the Ravens.
McCarthy played four series with the second-team offense before yielding to 11th-year veteran Carson Wentz, leaving the picture unclear about who will be the No. 2 quarterback behind Kyler Murray in the regular season.
The 10th overall pick in the 2024 draft, who missed his rookie year while recovering from knee surgery and was limited by 10 starts last season because of multiple injuries, misfired to open receivers multiple times. After a 50-yard completion to Tai Felton midway through the first quarter, McCarthy threw too hard into the end zone twice for incompletions that forced a turnover on downs from the 1-yard line.
Tyler Loop made two field goals for the Ravens, who also rested the majority of their starting lineup after two days of joint practices with the Vikings.
The second-team offense with Tyler Huntley at quarterback continually stalled out, but ******* nano — who finished his seven-year college career at UConn — fared well with the deep reserves. ******* nano went 15 for 20 for 123 yards. Rookie tight end Josh Cuevas, a fifth-round draft pick from Alabama, caught three passes for 46 yards. Keondre Jackson, the backup strong safety beginning his second season, had seven tackles, a sack and a quarterback hit to lead Baltimore's defense.

The Baltimore Ravens used two joint practices with the Minnesota Vikings to evaluate most of their established starters and key contributors. Saturday's second preseason game will shift the attention toward players still fighting for employment. Baltimore's initial 53-man roster is beginning to take shape, but questions remain at quarterback, running back, offensive line, defensive line and throughout the secondary. Special teams contributions will also influence several decisions near the bottom of the depth chart.
These 10 Ravens enter the second preseason game with significant pressure to produce.
Fagnano strengthened his case during the preseason-opening victory over Philadelphia, completing 22 of 28 passes for 224 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Baltimore could carry only Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley on the active roster. Another efficient performance would help ***** nano argue for a third quarterback spot while making him a priority for the practice squad if he is waived.
Ward joined the Ravens after Rasheen Ali's injury created another opening in the backfield. The veteran enters a competition that includes Adam Randall and several younger reserves.

#game #quarterback

The Baltimore Ravens' two joint practices with the Minnesota Vikings should give the key starters, critical rookies, and role players the type of intense, controlled work that Jesse Minter values more than extended preseason action. That makes Saturday afternoon's game at U.S. Bank Stadium especially important for other rookies, reserves and veterans competing near the bottom of the depth chart.
Some of those players will receive snaps during the joint sessions, but the first-team periods and situational work will naturally command most of the attention. Saturday afternoon's game offers longer evaluations, live tackling and unscripted situations that cannot be fully recreated in practice. Minnesota has also indicated that productive joint work could limit the number of additional snaps its starters receive Saturday, creating another reserve-heavy opportunity for both coaching staffs.
Here are 10 matchups to watch when the Ravens and Vikings complete their week in Minnesota.
Huntley was efficient in Baltimore's preseason opener, completing six of seven passes for 76 yards, but he also took two sacks. Minnesota's defense should present a more complex protection test, even if Flores does not use his full pressure package in an exhibition game. Huntley must identify the unblocked defender, get the offense into the correct answer, and avoid turning a negative play into a turnover. His experience and mobility give Baltimore stability behind Jackson, but a clean operation against Minnesota's reserve front would be more valuable than a few highlight throws. The evaluation begins with how consistently Huntley keeps the offense on schedule.
Fagnano delivered one of Baltimore's strongest performances against Philadelphia, completing 11 of 14 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown, although he also threw an interception. Thomas enters the matchup with momentum after the undrafted Vikings rookie intercepted a pass in Minnesota's opener against the Giants and continued receiving additional practice work. ******* nano must move the safety with his eyes and avoid predetermining throws over the middle. Thomas, meanwhile, will be tested in his communication and patience against a quarterback who has shown he can distribute the football accurately when the initial read is available.

#Vikings #baltimore

The Miami Dolphins have had some key players on the defensive side of the ball battling injuries through the first weeks of training camp, and now one of their most important members of their front seven will miss some time.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley revealed that defensive lineman Kenneth Grant is "week-to-week" after missing Monday's practice session. It's unclear exactly what the injury is that's keeping him from the field.
Grant, 22, was Miami's first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft after he spent three seasons at Michigan, earning All-Big Ten honors twice and All-American honors once. He also won a national championship in his second year with the Wolverines.
As a rookie, Grant appeared in 17 games and played 52% of their defensive snaps. He finished with 33 tackles, five quarterback hits, two sacks and a pass defensed.
With Zach Sieler also week-to-week with an injury, Jordan Phillips, Zeek Biggers, Matthew Butler, Alex Huntley, Fatorma Mulbah, Keith Cooper Jr. and Cam Rice will all have a chance to prove themselves with more opportunities.

#dolphins

Joe ******* nano entered training camp fighting for snaps and engulfed in a five-person quarterback room. After Diego Pavia's release and Skylar Thompson's injury, he will travel to Minnesota with a legitimate opportunity to force his way onto the Baltimore Ravens' 53-man roster.
The undrafted rookie quarterback took advantage of an extended opportunity in Baltimore's 24-7 preseason victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, completing 22 of 28 passes for 224 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He directed three scoring drives, operated the offense with poise and consistently delivered the football on time.
It was the type of performance that could change ******* nano's standing within the organization. He is no longer simply a developmental quarterback helping Baltimore complete training camp. He is making a strong case to become the Ravens' third quarterback. till earning the QB3 designation and securing a roster spot are two different challenges.
Fagnano entered the game after Tyler Huntley handled Baltimore's first two possessions and was trusted with most of the remaining quarterback snaps. He connected with Ja'Kobi Lane for a 16-yard touchdown, completed passes to 10 different receivers and helped the Ravens maintain possession throughout the second half.
His only significant mistake came late in the second quarter. ******* nano attempted to complete a pass across the end zone while moving outside the pocket, but Eagles cornerback Kelee Ringo made an athletic interception. Jesse Minter did not appear overly concerned with the decision, praising Ringo's play and ******* nano's ability to respond after halftime.

#Eagles #entered #snaps

The Baltimore Ravens opened the preseason with a 24-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, but the most important part of the night was not the final score. For a roster filled with established veterans, young players, and newcomers competing for jobs, the preseason opener provided the first meaningful opportunity to evaluate how it is beginning to take shape. Several players helped themselves, including defensive backs Keyon Martin and Keondre Jackson, while Baltimore also got extended looks at several young players across the offense and defense. With that in mind, here is our latest projection of the Ravens' 53-man roster after the first week of preseason.
Quarterbacks (3)Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley, Joe ****** nanoJackson remains the unquestioned starter, while Huntley gives Baltimore an experienced No. 2 quarterback. ****** nano has an opportunity to develop as the team's third quarterback and has shown enough to remain ahead of the competition.
Running backs (4)Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, Rasheen Ali, Adam RandallHenry and Hill are locks when healthy, but the rest of the running back room remains unsettled.Ali's recent absence creates an opportunity for the younger backs. Randall received significant work in the preseason opener and continues to make a case for a roster spot. Elijah Tau-Toliver and Dontae McMillan also deserve attention after receiving meaningful opportunities against Philadelphia. The Ravens could ultimately keep five running backs, particularly if one of the rookies continues to separate himself. For now, Randall gets the fourth spot.
Wide receivers (6)Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Ja'Kobi Lane, Elijah Sarratt, LaJohntay Wester, Devontez WalkerFlowers and Bateman are the foundation of the position, while Lane and Sarratt have plenty of developmental upside.Wester brings another element to the group, particularly because of his ability to create separation and contribute in the return game. Walker remains an intriguing option because of his size, contested-catch ability, and touchdown prowess. Chris Moore, Cornelius Johnson and Xavier Guillory remain among the players capable of making this decision considerably more difficult.
Tight ends (3)Mark Andrews, Durham Smythe, Matt HibnerAndrews remains one of Lamar Jackson's most important weapons when healthy. Smythe gives Baltimore a veteran presence and blocking ability, while Hibner has the athletic profile to develop into a useful offensive piece.Josh Cuevas and Ty Pezza remain in the competition, but the top three currently have the clearest path.

#Opportunity

The Philadelphia Eagles knew they had something to work with when they drafted Jeremiah Trotter Jr. If nepotism alone worked out in their favor, he'd be pretty special. They also knew his path to a prominent role wouldn't necessarily be immediate. That seems prophetic now, but patience is being rewarded.
Trotter has spent training camp consistently finding his way around the football, making plays as a run defender and blitzer while showing the instincts that made him such an intriguing prospect coming out of the Clemson Tigers program. With first-round pick Jihaad Campbell alongside established starter Zack Baun, Trotter has another hurdle to clear before becoming a full-time contributor. Still, so far, he has made that decision a lot harder to stand on.
Camp has provided plenty of evidence that Trotter is ready for more responsibility. He has shown up repeatedly in run-defense periods. He has found creases as a blitzer, and he has played with the kind of downhill aggression the Eagles want from their linebackers. That production carried into Philadelphia's preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens. One can argue that Trotter was the best player that the Eagles put on the field.
He was especially active early, recording five tackles before halftime and delivering a delayed blitz that resulted in a sack of Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley. He didn't play the entire game, but he didn't need to. The Eagles got another valuable glimpse of what he can offer when given meaningful opportunities. What's becoming increasingly interesting is the company around him. Campbell received two early series alongside Trotter and continues to show why Philadelphia invested heavily in him.
Baun remains the veteran leader of this corps and one of the defense's most dependable players. Still, rather than allowing that depth to bury Trotter, the competition appears to be bringing out his best football. That's exactly what the Eagles should want. Trotter doesn't need to become a starter overnight to have value. A defense playing deep into the postseason needs linebackers who can step onto the field without creating a noticeable drop-off.

#Eagles #still #around

The Baltimore Ravens entered training camp with zero mystery surrounding the top of their quarterback depth chart. Lamar Jackson remains one of the NFL's elite quarterbacks, and Tyler Huntley has proven he can capably step into the lineup when called upon.
The questions don't begin until we ask who's third on the depth chart. After Saturday night's preseason opening win against the Philadelphia Eagles, that competition may be much closer to a conclusion than it was a week ago.
Joe ****** nano received the longest look of any Ravens quarterback, taking over for Huntley in the second quarter and remaining in the game until Baltimore's second drive of the fourth quarter. The extended workload felt significant, and ****** nano made the most of it. By the end of the evening, the undrafted rookie had completed 22 of 28 passes for 224 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Fagnano looked comfortable running the offense and consistently delivered the football where it needed to go. His physical tools have never been the primary selling point of his game. No one is going to confuse him with Jackson when it comes to arm strength or athletic ability. What the rookie does possess, however, is accuracy, and that was on display throughout Saturday's contest.
Time and again, ****** nano delivered catchable footballs to his receivers, allowing them to make plays after the catch. Whether he was targeting Elijah Sarratt, Matthew Hibner or Ja'Kobi Lane, the ball frequently arrived on time and on target.

#jackson #huntley #time #depth

BALTIMORE — With 8:53 remaining in the first quarter Saturday night, Eagles defensive tackle Ty Robinson exploded off the ball and knocked down Ravens guard Emery Jones Jr.'s arm and brought down quarterback Tyler Huntley for a sack.
Overall, the Eagles' 24-7 loss to the Ravens in the first preseason game represented an ugly night, but Robinson's performance was one of the few reasons Philadelphia can wake up feeling good today.
After a rough start in the NFL, Robinson said the sack was a sign his hard work is paying off.
"When you get a full offseason, I got to really learn a lot about my body and what needed to be worked on," Robinson said Saturday night at M&T Bank Stadium. "A big part of that was mobility and flexibility. That was a big key focus for me. I always knew I had the strength. So, I mean, just being able to use those **** ets to help me perform on the field [is making a difference]."
After dismantling Jones' block with a cross-chop, Robinson reminded himself of what he already knew: He has the talent to play in the NFL and make an impact.

The Baltimore Ravens earned a 24-7 win in their 2026 preseason opener, securing a wire-to-wire victory in Jesse Minter's head coaching debut.
Here is the Baltimore Beatdown staff's reaction to the win:
A very encouraging start to Jesse Minter's debut season. The offense looked smooth and got the young skill guys active early while the defense completely shut down the Eagles offense. Ja'Kobi Lane, Elijah Sarratt, and Matthew Hibner showed flashes of their potential roles in Declan Doyle's offense. A few UDFA's made strong impressions, with Joe ***** nano being the standout. Looking forward to seeing more growth in the next two games. — Mark Myers
While you can never glean much from any preseason game, there was a lot to like for the Ravens against the Eagles. Multiple young players impressed, including rookies Vega Ioane, Ja'Kobi Lane, Elijah Sarratt, Mathew Hibner, and Joe ***** nano. The defense was suffocating and nearly pitched a shutout, which makes me even more excited to see what the starting unit can do in Week 1 under Jesse Minter. The only real wart on the night for me was the missed field goal by Tyler Loop. Loop is under extreme pressure in his second season after a missed field goal ended Baltimore's playoff hopes last season, and tonight's blunder will only give more life to criticism. — Dustin *****
The Jesse Minter era got off to a great start as the Ravens secured a comfortable preseason victory, something the franchise has done plenty of times over the years. Tyler Huntley performed well in starting action at quarterback and the Ravens received promising showings from their rookie offensive class. Elijah Sarratt, Matthew Hibner and Jakobi Lane led the team in receiving, while Adam Randall rushed for 46 yards with a touchdown. On defense, cornerback Keyon Martin helped boost his stock further with a starring performance. The defense as a whole was dominant, not allowing a score until late in the fourth quarter with the game out of reach. Here's hoping this sets the stage for more stalwart defensive outings for the 2026 season. — Frank Platko

#defense #sarratt #hibner

BALTIMORE (AP) — Ja'Kobi Lane had a 16-yard touchdown catch during a promising night for Ravens rookie receivers, and Baltimore beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-7 on Saturday night in the preseason opener for both teams.
Lane, a wide receiver from Southern California selected in the third round of the NFL draft, finished with three receptions for 38 yards.
Fourth-round selections Matt Hibner (tight end, Southern Methodist) and Elijah Sarratt (wide receiver, Indiana) combined for 11 receptions and 127 yards to help Jesse Minter win his preseason head coaching debut.
With Baltimore's Lamar Jackson and Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts among the starters on both sides who did not play, backup Tyler Huntley led Baltimore's first two series and went 6 for 7 for 76 yards.
Joe ******* nano, an undrafted rookie from UConn, connected with Lane and shook off a later interception to complete 22 of 28 passes for 223 yards.

#baltimore #wide #round

The Baltimore Ravens have controlled much of the first half against the Philadelphia Eagles, taking a 7-0 lead into halftime Saturday night at M&T Bank Stadium. The scoreboard does not fully reflect Baltimore's offensive advantage. The Ravens have generated 233 total yards compared with Philadelphia's 81, picked up 14 first downs to the Eagles' two and averaged 6.7 yards per play.
Rookie quarterback Joe ******* nano has provided one of the biggest stories. ******* nano completed 11 of 14 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown, although he also threw an interception. His touchdown went to fellow rookie Ja'Kobi Lane, who continued his impressive preseason debut with three catches for 38 yards and a score.
Lane's touchdown came on a 15-yard connection with ******* nano and followed a 19-yard reception earlier in the game. Lamar Jackson praised Lane's aggressiveness and ability to attack the football during a sideline interview, saying the rookie's ceiling is extremely high. Baltimore's passing game has been efficient beyond Lane. Matthew Hibner leads the Ravens with four catches for 52 yards, while Devontez Walker and Elijah Sarratt have each added three receptions for more than 30 yards.
Tyler Huntley also has been effective after taking over at quarterback. He has completed 6 of 7 passes for 76 yards and has added a different dimension to the offense with his mobility.
The Ravens have not been perfect. ******* nano's interception prevented another scoring opportunity, and Tyler Loop missed a field goal. Baltimore has also been held to only 46 rushing yards.

The Miami Dolphins have left South Florida for a joint practice with the Washington Commanders on Wednesday before the two teams meet on Friday at FedEx Field for their first of three preseason games.
Ahead of the practice session, which will take place at the Commanders' BigBear.ai Performance Center in Ashburn, Virginia, Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley addressed the media and revealed defensive lineman Zach Sieler is dealing with an injury, which kept him out of practice on Monday.
It's unclear what the injury is, but Hafley did reveal that Sieler is week-to-week.
The 30-year-old is entering his eighth season with the Dolphins and has the biggest cap hit of any player on the team for 2026 ($11.42 million). Hopefully, this injury isn't too serious, and he can return to the practice field soon.
If this injury is more of a long-term issue, Miami will have to rely on Kenneth Grant, Jordan Phillips and Zeek Biggers at defensive tackle. However, it will give them a better look at Matthew Butler, Alex Huntley, Fatorma Mulbah and Keith Cooper Jr.

Training camp highlights can be deceiving. Every summer, we've seen familiar trends at every Baltimore Ravens workout session. Rookies make spectacular catches on offense, defenders generate excitement, and unknown talent inspires predictions about breakout seasons.
Some arrive. Some never do. The challenge for coaches is separating a good practice from signs of something more meaningful. Ja'Kobi Lane may be forcing that conversation. The rookie wide receiver continued his impressive training camp on Saturday and Sunday, adding more eye-catching plays to what has become one of the strongest camps by a Ravens newcomer.
Let's talk about Saturday. Those in attendance, including ESPN's Jamison Hensley, mentioned one instance where he beat cornerback Nate Wiggins on a deep route for a touchdown during a one-on-one drill. Later, he hauled in a one-handed back-shoulder catch from Tyler Huntley roughly 25 yards downfield.
The catches drew attention.
The reaction afterward may have been even more significant.

Diego Pavia needs a new team.
The Albuquerque native and Heisman Trophy runner-up was waived Thursday by the Baltimore Ravens, the team announced via a report on its website.
A record-setting quarterback at Vanderbilt and New Mexico State, Pavia was signed as an undrafted free agent in late April to compete for Baltimore's third-string quarterback position behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. He was later passed over the summer by Skylar Thompson and Joe Fangano, another undrafted free agent from Connecticut.
Pavia can now either sign with another NFL team to compete for a roster spot or possibly take his talents to another league: For instance, the Canadian Football League's Winnipeg Blue Bombers added him to their negotiation list in 2024, meaning the club will have exclusive rights to negotiate with him if he wishes to pursue an opportunity in the league.
The majority of NFL training camps begin next week.

#diego

Diego Pavia's brief run with the Baltimore Ravens is over.
The former New Mexico State quarterback was waived by Baltimore on Thursday, July 23, six days before the start of its training camp on July 29. The move comes three months after Pavia accepted a rookie minicamp offer from the Ravens, then signed an undrafted free agent contract with them.

Pavia was competing to be Baltimore's third-string quarterback behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. The Ravens' news team reported that Pavia was waived to make room for NFL veteran center Ethan Pocic, whose signing was made official on Thursday morning.

#Mexico #july #Football

Diego Pavia's first NFL contract was for three years. In total, it did not last three months.
The Baltimore Ravens have waived Pavia, the quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist from Vanderbilt, ahead of training camp, according to NFL Media and ESPN insider Ian Rapoport. Baltimore had initially signed Pavia to a standard, three-year deal in April after he went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Pavia, 24, will enter a 24-hour waiver period following the transaction. All 31 other teams will be able to file a waiver claim to take on Pavia's three-year deal. Should he clear waivers, he will become a free agent again, free to sign with any team.
The Vanderbilt product was a longshot to make the Ravens' roster in his first season in the pros. In addition to the concerns about his 5-foot-10, 203-pound frame, Pavia needed to battle for a role in a Baltimore quarterbacks room that already features an entrenched starter in Lamar Jackson and a proven backup in Tyler Huntley.
This story will be updated.

#pavia #year

The Baltimore Ravens made a notable roster move days before training camp, waiving undrafted rookie quarterback Diego Pavia to create room on the 90-man roster for veteran center Ethan Pocic.
The move ends Pavia's brief stay in Baltimore after the former Vanderbilt standout joined the Ravens as part of their offseason quarterback competition. Pavia arrived with name recognition after finishing second in the 2025 Heisman Trophy voting, but the numbers game changed once Baltimore officially added Pocic after he passed his physical.
Pocic's arrival addressed one of the Ravens' biggest roster questions. Baltimore needed another center option after Tyler Linderbaum left in free agency to sign with the Las Vegas Raiders. Pocic, a former Cleveland Browns starter, gives the Ravens a veteran candidate with extensive experience and a legitimate shot at the starting job.
That left Baltimore needing a roster spot, and Pavia became the casualty.
The Ravens entered the offseason with Lamar Jackson locked in as the franchise quarterback and Tyler Huntley back as an experienced backup. Pavia was competing for the No. 3 quarterback role during spring practices, but that battle now appears to be down to veteran Skylar Thompson and undrafted rookie Joe ******* nano.

#baltimore #Ravens #roster

The Ravens’ offensive snap distribution should look different in 2026, not because the foundation has changed, but because Baltimore has rebuilt the supporting cast around Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Mark Andrews, and an offensive line undergoing one of its most important transitions in years. With Tyler Linderbaum, Patrick Ricard, Isaiah Likely, Charlie Kolar, Keaton Mitchell, and DeAndre Hopkins no longer part of the equation, the Ravens have to redistribute meaningful snaps at center, tight end, wide receiver, and in the backfield while offensive coordinator Declan Doyle installs a detail-driven system built around explosive plays, formation flexibility, and the continued stress Jackson creates on defenses.
Jackson played 702 offensive snaps last season, or 69.2%, as injuries and game circumstances reduced his total. If healthy, he should push back toward the 90% range in 2026. Tyler Huntley returns as the clear backup after playing 197 snaps last season, but his workload should shrink if Jackson stays available. Skylar Thompson gives Baltimore experienced depth, while Diego Pavia and Joe ******* nano enter camp as developmental quarterbacks competing for a path to the practice squad.
Henry remains the lead back after logging 556 snaps last season, or 54.8%, but Baltimore has to reshape the rotation behind him. Justice Hill played 219 offensive snaps and should again be the top change-of-pace and passing-down option if healthy. Rasheen Ali’s offensive role could grow after he played 119 snaps last season, while rookie Adam Randall is the wild card because his versatility gives Doyle a runner, receiver, and gadget option who can be used in motion, backfield packages, and specialty looks. Dontae McMillan and Elijah Tau-Tolliver are likely fighting for depth and special teams value. Lucas Scott is the lone fullback, but his roster path is complicated by Doyle’s preference for using tight ends and H-backs instead of a traditional fullback role.
Wide receiver should remain centered on Zay Flowers, who played 879 snaps last season, or 86.6%, and now enters 2026 as the unquestioned No. 1 option after back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons. Rashod Bateman played 551 snaps and still has a path to a major role, but he must hold off a deeper group after an injury-filled 2025 and trade speculation. Rookie Ja’Kobi Lane should push for immediate snaps because of his size, catch radius, and red-zone value, while Elijah Sarratt has already made a strong case as a polished possession target who can work from the slot and become trusted on third down. Devontez Walker played 163 snaps last season and remains a touchdown threat entering a critical third year.

Tight end may have the most dramatic redistribution. Andrews played 631 snaps last season and sho

During this year’s free agency cycle and 2026 NFL draft, all four AFC North teams made significant moves to add talent to their rosters. While more additions are still possible over the next few months, everyone’s core players are mostly set ahead of the 2026 season.
How do the different positional groups in the division stack up to one another? Let’s rank the AFC North squads by position, starting with quarterback.
Starter: Lamar Jackson
Depth: Tyler Huntley, Skylar Thompson, Diego Pavia, Joey ****** nano
Jackson is coming off a disappointing 2025 season that was muddied by nagging injuries, which limited his athleticism for much of the year. He started to round more into form over the final few games, but the Ravens fell just short of the postseason. In a new offensive system surrounded by fresh personnel and coaches, Jackson should be primed for a big bounce back in 2026. The Ravens re-signed Huntley, who is the most optimal backup to Jackson, to a two-year deal this offseason. Huntley is one of the better second-stringers in the league. They added competition for the No. 3 spot with a veteran in Thompson and two undrafted free agent rookies.
