It's unlikely we see Rashod Bateman tonight. Same goes for James Proche, who missed Tuesday's practice. The Ravens may also be missing Devon Williams, Bailey ...
He looks more comfortable and is battling with the best of the Ravens’ receivers and holding his own for a rookie. That said, it’s known that he was considered more of a project and will need time, but to see how far he’s already come with the Ravens and Offensive Line Coach Joe D’Alessandris is valuable. Honestly, a few three and outs by the Ravens offense isn’t so bad as we’ll get the opportunity to watch Stout work. The reigning training camp interception leader (2) should get a lengthy amount of run tonight and that’s a good thing. This is the time to get Wallace to get back in the conversation. This is the guy I may be the most interested in watching this preseason. The preseason is for the rookies. Both aren’t in game shape yet, so this is the time for Davis to earn a greater role. With Lamar Jackson not playing tonight, it’s up to Huntley to make the most of it before Anthony Brown and Brett Hundley get their run. He needs some consistency and that’s what to look for out of Moon tonight. If he can open some running lanes or stonewall the pass rush for his reps, look for this to become a bigger competition. They’ve already done so, with arguably the most talented safety group in the NFL, with players to spare.
Game one of the Baltimore Ravens preseason is here, and they take on the Tennessee Titans. Here are 3 predictions.
This is the kind of fun the Ravens get to have in the preseason. Watching the running backs at training camp, Badie should be ahead of Davis. Hill has been very good in camp, especially as a receiving option out of the backfield. On the subject of first impressions, let’s talk about another rookie. The Ravens have four running backs that should all get some work in this game. In a very impressive rookie class, he may be quietly the readiest to do his job at a high level. Badie has shown a lot of positives in camp. Here are three predictions for your first glimpse of the 2022 Ravens in a game situation. In practice, Stout has lived up to the lofty expectations of being selected in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He’s shown off his booming leg strength. The Ravens have played the Titans in the playoffs twice in the past three years which renewed the old hatred. The offense has run much smoother with Lamar Jackson under center than Tyler Huntley in practice. The hang time on some of his punts has been impressive. The Ravens play the Tennessee Titans in their first preseason game.
2020 Wild Card: Titans 13, Ravens 20 Sunday, January 10th, 2021 | 12:00pm CT | Nissan Stadium Nashville, TN - In the AFC Wild Card Round, the Tennessee.

The Ravens haven't lost a preseason game since 2015 and will look to win their 21st straight preseason game Thursday night.
The coaches and medical staff put ample research and thought into designing a different training camp schedule after the team was decimated by injuries in 2021. However, competing at a high level every day is part of the Ravens' culture, a mindset that has contributed to their preseason success. Thursday night will be their first game since the decision to change their approach to training camp this year, with more emphasis on execution and a reduced amount of physical contact.

A change in routine in training camp could lead to a change in fortune in the preseason. To surpass where Baltimore currently stands, Buffalo would have to win every preseason game through 2025 and then win the preseason opener in 2026. You can’t play in the league forever, but my time there was great.” “It’s kind of putting a stamp on your career and putting something on your résumé. You came in and played, even though people consider it to be the end of the game. "So it's not like the house is taking a beating. “I think it’s a testament to [current general manager] Eric [DeCosta], Harbs [John Harbaugh] and [former GM] Ozzie [Newsome] and the way they build the roster,” said kickerJustin Tucker, who is one of three current Ravens players whose tenure has spanned the entire preseason winning streak. As Baltimore opens the preseason Thursday night, the Ravens have won 20 straight preseason games, eclipsing the Vince Lombardi-coached Green Bay Packers, who won 19 in a row from 1959 to 1962. There have been 59 players added through the draft, free agency or trade over the past two offseasons (65%).“I don’t even want to talk about [the streak], because I don’t want anything to happen,” Ricard said, obviously leery of jinxing his team. There’s also a sense of widespread accomplishment when counting up the number of players who’ve helped this summertime superiority. They couldn’t guess how many games in a row Baltimore had won or how many years the run has been going on.This shouldn’t come as a surprise considering the roster turnover. Woodrum, 29, played for seven NFL teams, including 13 months in Baltimore, and yet he never got on the field for a regular-season game. A week after that, he threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to running back Taquan Mizzell, which proved to be the game winner against the Buffalo Bills.

With 6:55 left in the first quarter, Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley handed the ball to running back Mike Davis for a four-yard touchdown run. The Baltimore Ravens opened their 2022 preseason at M&T Bank Stadium against the Tennessee Titans. The first score of the game came from a veteran running back who was not on the team a season ago in running back Mike Davis, who came over from the Atlanta Falcons. Davis made the score look, easy running to the right side and gaining the edge before finding the end zone.
The Tennessee Titans have more at stake tonight than just winning in the preseason opener game against the Baltimore Ravens.
At the start of organized team activities in July, Burks suffered some asthma and conditioning issues that halted his performance in the offseason program. On the other hand, the Titans' preseason record isn't as clean. The Titans will look to end the Baltimore Ravens' preseason win streak.

I just have to watch the film and get back to work." I just have to continue to work." I can't continue to rely on that, but that is what the preseason is for. "It's a humbling game and we have a lot of work to do," Titans coach Mike Vrabel said after the game. "I missed some things probably, and I just made up for it with my legs. Some guys showed up some guys are going to need to go back home and get better."

Get a recap of the Tennessee Titans vs. Baltimore Ravens football game.
“You've just got to look around and really smile, get a jitter out, and then you got to realize it's football.” “I probably had a jitter or two pregame, because you look around, and the stadium fits around 70,000?" Then Justin Tucker added three field goals in the second half. “He needs to try to throw the ball when guys are open, be more decisive," coach Mike Vrabel said. Baltimore converted that short field, taking a 7-0 lead on a 4-yard touchdown run by Mike Davis. Willis, a third-round draft pick from Liberty, started the game for the Titans with Ryan Tannehill held out.

Over five years the Ravens went 20-0 in preseason and then combined for 60-37. It holds that a 4-0 preseason team could be a force when the games matter. The long-held belief is that preseason performance should somehow be indicative of future prospects. It’s the absolute most pointless, hollow victory to flaunt. Their 20-game win steak has surpassed the Green Bay Packers' 19-game win streak from 1959 to 1962 as the longest preseason winning streak in NFL history.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 11, 2022 Now sitting at 20-0 in the preseason, Baltimore has surpassed the longest preseason winning streak in NFL history — held by the Green Bay Packers from 1959-62.
Fort Valley State receiver Shemar Bridges, ignored in the draft process, blew it up for the Ravens in his NFL debut.
Bridges participated in the first annual Legacy Bowl in New Orleans, a game which allows lesser-known HBCU players to show NFL teams what they can do. He caught four passes on five targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Baltimore’s 23-10 win, and two of those catches were similarly spectacular. Shemar Bridges doesn’t currently have an entry in the Pro Football Reference or College Football Reference databases.
While it may not have the import of a competitive NFL game, a case can be made that the preseason at the very least sets the stage for them. So how will that ...
For one thing, the idea of “emphasizing” fouls is a bit silly, and for another, calling multiple of them over the course of the game can seriously slow the game flow down and bring unwelcome breaks to the action. While actual issues could arise from this, especially as the NFL further embraces the world of sports gambling, right now it’s still just a bit of a headache. A specific focus will be on Mike Macdonald who comes to Baltimore with plenty of hype as the league’s youngest defensive coordinator, and with very big shoes to fill in his former boss Wink Martindale’s absence. The same could be said at wide receiver, but the stakes feel even higher when it comes to that room (as it often does with the Ravens). Behind them is an opportunity to seize the fourth, fifth, or sixth spot at the position, and the competition sounds to be fairly wide open (pun intended) as we head into game one. After a down year for illegal contact fouls in 2021, it sounds like they may be due for a serious comeback this season. The Ravens are an organization that pride themselves on squad depth year in and year out, and it’s certainly a commendable approach that’s brought them a lot of success. Outside ‘backer would probably fall into the latter category of the two mentioned; that is, they have some star power in the form of Justin Houston, Odafe Oweh, and Tyus Bowser (all falling into varying definitions of “star”) but lack some punch in the back end of their room. Whether that affects the Ravens at all will be hard to judge, but it’s something to consider nonetheless. Another reason is that Harbaugh was badly burned by the loss of J.K. Dobbins in a preseason game this time last year. By nature, the preseason is a transient period, with changing rosters not only year-to-year, but game to game, with motivations differing for everyone. Whether it’s tracking a storyline, seeing camp battles you’ve been reading about play out on an actual stage, or watching a player on the bubble step up in a big way and give the coaching staff something to think about, there’s plenty of authentic drama to take away from this time of year despite what many say.
The Ravens extended their record preseason winning streak to 21 games with a 23-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday.Here are the highlights.
We all have the power to go ahead and unmeasurably obtain everything that we want, and that we can imagine. “It means a lot to the culture, just to show that we’re a winning team," backup quarterback Tyler Huntley said about the streak. - Rookie defensive tackle Travis Jones also had a sack. Likely had 4 receptions for 44 yards. - Edge rusher Steven Means managed a sack on Malik Willis. "It just felt good to be back out here in live action," Means said. "We just have to believe in ourselves.
The Baltimore Ravens honored the late Jaylon Ferguson and Tony Siragusa with a moment of silence ahead of the team's preseason game against the Tennessee ...
“This past June, the Ravens family lost two beloved individuals when Jaylon Ferguson and Tony Siragusa passed away,” the stadium announcer said. His humor, loyalty and dedication truly made him one of a kind.” Ferguson was selected with the 85th pick in the 2019 draft and played 38 games for the Ravens over the last three seasons.
Young wide receivers Shemar Bridges and Makai Polk stood out during Baltimore's 21st consecutive preseason victory.
Faalele has obviously worked hard this summer and it paid off in his debut, and he threw a nice block on Mike Davis' first-quarter touchdown run. Stout clearly has a huge leg and he showed no jitters in his debut. In his third season, Harrison knows this is a key year for him and he played with a sense of urgency. His presence only adds to Baltimore's already deep safety core, as a smart safety with a nose for the football. He made a superb leaping catch in the second quarter that displayed his athleticism. The undrafted rookie from Fort Valley State entered training camp as a long shot to make the roster, but he had two acrobatic catches when he simply elevated over defenders to make plays, including a 14-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter.

One of those turnovers was scooped up by Kyle Hamilton, the Ravens' first-round pick in this past year's draft. Joe Flacco was their starting quarterback when the streak began, while Steve Smith Jr., who this past year was eligible for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the first time, was heading into his final NFL season. Baltimore's roster also included Terrell Suggs, who was entering his second-to-last season with the franchise.

One of the biggest determining factors for the Ravens’ 2022 season is how much the offensive line can bounce back from a poor season a year ago. With multiple players returning from injuries at the outside linebacker position, Baltimore needs a player to step up and earn a spot in the rotation. Baltimore is in need of a big-bodied target for quarterback Lamar Jackson on the perimeter. Bridges displayed his ability to use his big body to come down with the football as he made a pair of highlight-reel snags over defenders. Drafted in the fourth round to replace longtime punter Sam Koch, Stout has quite the shoes to fill. Rookie tight end Isaiah Likely has been a significant story throughout OTAs and training camp, and the hype will only continue to grow after a strong showing in his first live-game outing.

He didn’t perform well, and PFF didn’t have him down for a single run stop. Maybe it’s one game, but this has the making of a common theme in Baltimore. A guy goes off in camp, making plays again and again but when the lights are on and fans are in the stands, the yards and targets dwindle. Lately, Seymour has been a strong competitor in practice. Arguably the third-best of any receiver, behind Proche and Bateman. Tonight, he finished with two catches on two targets for 15 yards. Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh didn’t make it sound serious, but it still is time he won’t be practicing and those reps will be going to his direct competitors. He also put a pass-rushing linebacker on their butt with a block that made the crowd react. In the first exhibition game for the Ravens, Davis seemed to make the most of his reps for the running backs. In total, Stone finished with two tackles, one for loss, one quarterback hit, two passes defensed and an interception. Tonight was a strong showing by the rookie defensive lineman. On one drive, Stone notched a tackle for loss, an end zone pass breakup and a leaping interception off a deflection. A big-bodied, high-point receiver who Lamar Jackson can trust opposite wide receivers Rashod Bateman, James Proche and Devin Duvernay. Tonight, he hauled in four catches for 62 yards and a touchdown. His releases were fast and strong, and he turned his reps into chain-moving, point-scoring catches.

NFL.com's Grant Gordon believes the "Ravens have a special rookie." The Ravens didn't draft Likely to block, but he'll at least need to be competent in that area in this offense to regularly be on the field. "Stout's showing Thursday was an example of just why a club known for its special teams prowess pounced on Stout. He was booming punts and kickoffs throughout the Ravens' NFL-record 21st straight preseason win… "Isaiah Likely was a hero and a goat all in the same half. While punting is the punter's primary job, holding for Justin Tucker has the masses paying direct attention to Stout during field goal attempts. In the first half, he didn't get any push on an end-around for Wallace. On another carry by running back Justice Hill, he seemed to leave his defender after a quick engagement. "The fourth-round pick out of Coastal Carolina caught four passes for 44 yards, including an impressive contested grab over a defender. He went up over Tennessee linebacker Chance Campbell to make a 22-yard catch, the type of play you often see Andrews make…You also saw what Likely needs to work on. "If you watched the game, you certainly see why the Ravens have been so impressed with fourth-round tight end Isaiah Likely. He had four catches for 44 yards. On Thursday, quarterback Tyler Huntley once again led the Ravens to victory in the preseason. In one half, the offense led by Huntley scored 14 points against the Tennessee Titans in a game that ended 23-10. Along with his efficient night, Huntley's also demonstrated he can handle the pressure of the regular season.
The Ravens opened their 2022 preseason schedule in impressive fashion, running past the Tennessee Titans 23-10. Here's the Report Card.
Cornerback Kevon Seymour and safety Tony Jefferson had a miscommunication that let wide receiver Racey McMath make 48-yard reception. Travis Jones flashed his potential and had a sack. Outside linebacker Steven Means had a sack. Malik Harrison missed a couple of tackles, but did force a fumble. Mike Davis scored a touchdown and excelled with his blocks. Quarterbacks: Tyler Huntley got the start and played impressively well, going 16 for 18 for 109 yards with a touchdown for a 110.4 QB rating.

The long-locked, scruffy-bearded Penn State product is going to tilt the field in the Ravens’ favor plenty of times to come. He made a superb leaping catch in the second quarter that displayed his athleticism. The undrafted rookie from Fort Valley State entered training camp as a long shot to make the roster, but he had two acrobatic catches when he simply elevated over defenders to make plays, including a 14-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Stout’s final punting line saw an average of 47.8 yards on four punts with one coming to rest inside the 20. Another undrafted rookie, Polk was targeted a team-high eight times and showed his ability to get open. Justice Hill and Tyler Badie, both strong candidates to make the roster as third-down backs, combined for 30 yards on nine carries. Mike Davis started and was most effective running to the outside. However, the fourth-round rookie hasn’t looked fazed at any point since joining the Ravens and has displayed his potential to play an immediate role in Baltimore’s offense. He ran the offense really well.” “His numbers were off the charts. He overthrew Tylan Wallace on third down with a Tennessee defender (who had badly beaten left tackle Ja’Wuan James) in his face.

Y eso lo consiguieron pese a perder por toda la temporada a J.K. Dobbins y Gus Edwards con sendas lesiones en las rodillas. Resolver la situación contractual de Lamar Jackson antes del inicio de la temporada regular es primordial.

Con eso en la bolsa y un equipo sano, el coach John Harbaugh tendrá a Baltimore en la pelea por la corona de la División Norte de la AFC, que su equipo ha ganado dos veces en las cuatro campañas más recientes. De la Semana 11 de la temporada 2018 a la 4 de 2021, los Ravens corrieron para al menos 100 yardas en 43 juegos en fila, lo que empató un récord de los Pittsburgh Steelers (1974-77).

His stepfather, Damian Swain, is a former Canadian Football League wide receiver who was invited to the Ravens training camp in 2001. After playing just four games for Fort Valley State last season, scouts didn't have a large body of game film to review. Listed at 6-foot-4, 207 pounds, Bridges is a big-bodied wide receiver who clearly knows how to use his size.

While the preseason has lied to us time and time again, one game into the Baltimore Ravens preseason, the early returns on rookie defensive tackle Travis ...
Jones ultimately could be the biggest steal of this draft class. However, the second round was underway and Jones was one of the “best players available” pick after pick as the round concluded. Travis Jones is a DT prospect in the 2022 draft class. As a pass rusher, Jones stayed low, square and drove his blocker back with control and pace. Most astonishingly, after displaying his prowess in the run game, he looped outside with cat-like agility at over 320 pounds before chasing down Willis who gave Ravens defenders problems in space all night. He was patient when he stacked, peaked then shed his blocker to stuff a run play. Jones has prodigious core strength and hand strength, with an array of explosive moves. While the preseason has lied to us time and time again, one game into the Baltimore Ravens preseason, the early returns on rookie defensive tackle Travis Jones look outstanding. This method has done a phenomenal job of predicting how the draft will go and where players are generally slotted. 36 slots over the Consensus Board, Jones was considered one of the steals of the draft by many. Throughout training camp, Jones has made quite a name for himself. The Draft Network’s Joe Marino wrote about Jones following day two of the draft:
