The Baltimore Ravens begin the 2025 preseason at home as they face the Indianapolis Colts. The team did participate in a joint practice together, which resulted in a skirmish.

As expected, the majority of starters will not be on the field for the Ravens’ first preseason contest. Many players will be held out. However, the Colts will be starting quarterback Anthony Richardson, leaving the Ravens’ defensive players a possible challenge. At backup quarterback is Daniel Jones. Both Richardson and Jones have starting NFL experience, giving the Ravens an opportunity to face quality opponents.

We are finally here. Football is being played in Baltimore, Md., and it’s the Ravens taking the field. There’s going to be a lot of debuts and some important players to look for. Here are five of the most interesting players to watch and what to specifically look out for.

Safety Malaki Starks

This is an easy one. The first-round pick may not play much tonight as a penciled-in starter for the season, but the Ravens will put him on the field all three games. He is still a rookie and needs to snaps before taking the lion’s...

The Ravens have a stacked roster in 2025. That means there aren’t many spots available to be won, whether it be to start or on the roster altogether.

The first weeks of training camp are over and now the first preseason game is upon us. This is where fans may start to see the roster and position battles play out. Let’s go over some of the top battles to keep an eye out for in the first game against the Indianapolis Colts.

According to Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry, quarterback Lamar Jackson addressed the team on the first day of training camp with a message.

“He just emphasized let’s put the work in right now. Let’s not come out here BS-ing on all three phases. Let’s do what we need to do each and every day to get where we want to go,” Henry said on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “He’s been emphasizing that a lot from the first day that we got here. He talked to the team [and said], ‘It’s time. It’s time to do what we need to do.’...

Andrew Vorhees has the lead over Ben Cleveland

One of the few spots open for grabs on a loaded Baltimore Ravens team heading into the 2025 season is the left guard position.

With the departure of veteran Patrick Mekari in free agency, the attention turned towards third-year Andrew Vorhees as the most likely candidate to fill the opening. Vorhees started the 2024 season as the starter at left guard before an injury sidelined him early in the year, paving the way for Mekari to take his spot.

Vorhees appeared as the starter once more in the final game of the...

The second-year safety has a big opportunity this year

The Baltimore Ravens are loaded from front to back on defense with star players at every level of the unit. With so much talent in the starting lineup, it will be harder for unproven players to have chances of becoming key contributors. There are a few positions where younger players can break through due to a lack of proven depth, though, most notably at safety, inside linebacker, and defensive tackle.

Today’s Question of the Day is:

Which player will take the biggest leap for the Ravens’ defense in 2025?

**My...

As the Ravens continue to make some minor additions on the fringes of their roster in training camp, they made an offensive signing on Saturday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Ravens were signing veteran running back D’Ernest Johnson.

Johnson is a six-year veteran who played his first four seasons with the Cleveland Browns, so the Ravens are familiar with his game. He then joined the Jacksonville Jaguars over the past two years. Johnson has primarily worked in a backup/reserve role during his career but has had some productive moments.

For his career, the Florida native has been efficient with...

Earlier this week, the Baltimore Ravens received unfortunate injury news when tight end Isaiah Likely suffered a foot fracture in practice. It was then revealed that Likely would need surgery with a roughly six-week recovery timeline, putting his status for Week 1 in jeopardy.

In light of this development, the Ravens have moved quickly to reinforce depth. Over the weekend, the team agreed to terms with a familiar face in Scotty Washington and second-year tight end Baylor Cupp.

Washington has been a member of the team’s practice squad over the past two years. The 28-year-old has gotten some preseason run...

Tyler Loop is the only remaining kicker on the Ravens roster.

Some unexpected news came out of The Castle Saturday morning just before the training camp practice kicked off. Undrafted rookie kicker John Hoyland has been waived.

John Hoyland wasn’t kicking badly by any means. The Baltimore Banner’s Jonas Shaffer had him as 28 for 32 attempts during camp through eight practices, as of July 31, just two days before he was cut. Head Coach John Harbaugh acknowledged the roster cut after practice Saturday, saying he thought Hoyland was kicking well enough to stay with the team. The cut was...

The Baltimore Ravens are no strangers to making additions to their roster late in the summer, which they’ve done routinely with veteran free agents over the years. On Saturday, they did so again - bringing back a familiar face in defensive lineman Brent Urban.

Urban, 34, has played the past three seasons with the Ravens in his second stint with the team. He began his career in Baltimore as a 2014 fourth-round pick and played three seasons before departing and playing for three other teams over the next few years. It seemed like the Ravens may not bring him back...
