The Baltimore Ravens have completed more than a week of physical training camp practices. Saturday's preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles will provide Jesse Minter and his staff with a different type of evaluation.
The question is how many established starters will participate.
Baltimore has several stars with nothing to prove during an exhibition game. The Ravens also have newcomers learning new systems, rookies competing for important roles and several position battles that won't be settled until later in the preseason. Here is an early projection of which Ravens could sit and which players have legitimate reasons to play against Philadelphia.
Jackson hasn't appeared in a preseason game since 2021, and there is little reason to believe Baltimore will change its approach Saturday.
Declan Doyle's new offense creates an argument for giving Jackson limited work, but the Ravens can generate valuable repetitions during three upcoming joint practices. Protecting their two-time MVP should remain the priority.
