“Being a running back today ain’t sexy,” Ravens legend Jamal Lewis said. In Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley, he told me he sees "the last of a dying breed." baltimoresun.com/2024/11/27/rav…
#Ravens back at it today at 1:30. Here are yesterday’s observations, from Lamar to Mike Green to Tyler Loop, Nate Wiggins and Malaki Starks and the seatbelt (w/ @samdcohn) #RavensFlock baltimoresun.com/2025/07/25/rav…
Observations from today's Ravens training camp practice, w/ @brianwacker1 🤔: Where's Mike Green? 🦵: Loop's best day 🙅♂️: Seatbelt celebration is spreading 🙌🏻: Praise for Malaki Starks 2️⃣: Nate Wiggins shines baltimoresun.com/2025/07/25/rav…
Lamar Jackson prefers to work in private. Earlier this month, Hassan Edwards, a Baltimore native and freelance photographer, got to break that veil. He was invited to South Florida — reaping two-plus-years haphazardly sneaking his camera into M&T Bank Stadium — to capture Jackson…
Zay Flowers seems to be moving just fine. Yesterday he came up limping after a 7on7 play grabbing his right ankle. Took the shoe off and a trainer looked at it before he went back in.
Ravens hit the field in under an hour for training camp practice No. 4. Some reading material, if you're into that kind of thing... 👀Camp observations: tinyurl.com/32yd83n6 🕺Vibes guy Jaire Alexander, via @brianwacker1: tinyurl.com/2f2dauyk ⏰KVN: tinyurl.com/8y36a9u6

Will Kyle Hamilton be doing Jaire Alexander's signature Seatbelt celly? "Probably not." "But we needed some of that. ... Jaire does that for us. Everybody follows his lead when it comes to the energy. He's been here three practice days but everybody can feel the difference."
Kyle Hamilton on rookie safety Malaki Starks: "He's miles ahead of where I was at that point."
Tyler Loop made all 10 of his kicks, including a 63-yarder from the right hash that he cleared easily. Loop held up a finger to acknowledge the excited teammates and crowd.
Only absentee for Day 3 of Ravens training camp practice is WR Keith Kirkwood.
DeAndre Hopkins is back at practice today. He was held out yesterday in an "abundance of caution," John Harbaugh said, after landing awkwardly on Wednesday.
I was just making sure 😅⚡️
“It's still me.” Jaire Alexander on @Lj_era8 testing him on Day 1 of Training Camp practice 🤣
It’s been an “interesting offseason,” Kyle Van Noy said. He was asked to clarify that adjective. “There’s just other situations where I feel I’m very valuable. And some people think I’m more valuable than others.” baltimoresun.com/2025/07/24/rav…
Marlon: "He's a pretty weird guy." The one example he gave was during 6am workouts Jaire saying he needed the speaker next to him. "Yeah we got 'em in the ceiling." "No, I need it right in my ear."
Jaire Alexander: "I thought I was weird. I don't know, [Marlon Humphrey] may have me beat."
Self-proclaimed big vibes guy Jaire Alexander on what he brings to Baltimore: "Imma bring the energy and imma bring the juice. Everything else will fall into place."
Jaire Alexander: "I thought I was weird. I don't know, [Marlon Humphrey] may have me beat."
First time CB Jaire Alexander addresses the media since signing with the Ravens: "Defense wins championships. I'm in the right place to do that."

It was "an abundance of caution" that held DeAndre Hopkins out of practice today, John Harbaugh said. He landed uncomfortably yesterday but he should be fine.
John Hoyland made all nine kicks he attempted today, including one that was blown dead for a false start. Three were from 40-plus, one from 50-plus. Tyler Loop didn't kick today - presumably a scheduled off day.
Lamar Jackson threw one a tad too high, it tipped off Isaiah Likely's hands and Trenton Simpson picked it off.
