For 11 days, as the Ravens’ starting offense practiced against their starting defense, they leaned on a classic cliche: Iron sharpens iron.
Yet when the Ravens finally saw another opponent, the Indianapolis Colts, in Tuesday’s joint practice, they didn’t look quite so sharp.
Here are the highlights from their padded practice in Owings Mills.

Attendance​

After walking off the field during team drills to stretch his lower body Monday, safety Kyle Hamilton did not dress for Tuesday’s practice. He watched the session in a hoodie, and coach John Harbaugh described the injury as “one of those camp deals.”

Running back Marcus Major Jr. (concussion) and cornerback Robert Longerbeam (undisclosed) also did not practice. Injured tight end Isaiah Likely (foot/ankle) and safety Ar’Darius Washington (Achilles tendon) watched from the sidelines.
Wide receiver Rashod Bateman (undisclosed) and quarterback Lamar Jackson (personal), meanwhile, returned to practice.

Jackson and the offense had an erratic afternoon. Unofficially, he finished 11-for-21 in 11-on-11 action, including an interception, and 9-for-16 in seven-on-seven work. The Colts were missing projected backup cornerbacks Jaylon Jones and JuJu Brents, while projected starting slot corner Charvarius Ward was limited, and projected outside starting corner Justin Walley left early with a knee injury.
The offense’s best showing came in the red zone. The Ravens started by scoring from 12 yards out — or coming very close — on an end-around by wide receiver Zay Flowers, then from 8 yards out on a screen pass from Jackson to running back Justice Hill, then from 12 yards out after Jackson rolled out to his right and found tight end Mark Andrews in the end zone. He could not replicate that production in his return to the red zone, however, stymied by a sack and an unblocked pressure.
Jackson’s execution waned near the end of practice. In his final rep in a seven-on-seven period, he lost control of the ball as he apparently tried to double-clutch it. In 11-on-11 action, he later threw a ball away, over Bateman’s head, perhaps wary of a cornerback jumping his out-breaking route.

And in Jackson’s final period, a two-minute drill in which the offense had 65 seconds to get at least a field goal, he went just 2-for-5. One completion kept the clock moving. Another misfire didn’t give Flowers much of a chance for a sideline catch. And the drive ended when Jackson was flushed from the pocket, scrambled to his right and threw a pass across his body, only for Colts rookie safety Hunter Wohler to pick it off. Wohler also picked off a deflected pass from backup quarterback Cooper Rush in the Ravens’ final two-minute drill.

Kicker watch​

Rookie Tyler Loop went 6-for-6 during the Ravens’ field goal drills. He made attempts from 28, 33, 38, 41, 44 and 55 yards.
Loop also got some kickoff practice against Colts returners. The sixth-round pick appeared to be experimenting with different ways of kicking the ball. He sent one high and deep. He hit another low and flat. The coverage team did better with the low-and-flat ball. Under the NFL’s updated kickoff rules, offenses start with the ball at their 35-yard line after touchbacks, encouraging kickers to kick a returnable ball.

End zone​

• Cornerback Nate Wiggins, who was ejected from practice after throwing punches during a special teams drill, allowed a deep completion earlier in practice to wide receiver Adonai Mitchell during 11-on-11 drills.
• Rookie safety Malaki Starks had a fantastic day, highlighted by his blowing up a screen play to wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. for a goal-line stop during a red-zone drill. Starks and cornerback Jaire Alexander also combined to tackle wide receiver Josh Downs after he made a catch, limiting his gain. He stopped Downs another time, and he “tackled” quarterback Daniel Jones when he was scrambling.
• Second-year safety Sanoussi Kane had an up-and-down day. He went flying past the defensive line to deflect a screen pass by quarterback Anthony Richardson. He covered for Wiggins when Pittman made a big catch against him, coming in and finishing the tackle. He also whiffed when he tried to tackle tight end Tyler Warren at the goal line and was faked out by running back DJ Giddens.
• Rookie outside linebacker Mike Green had two sacks to help end practice during the Colts’ two-minute-drill offense. He also won both of his one-on-ones. Defensive lineman Broderick Washington, continuing his strong camp, appeared to force a pressure on one of Green’s sacks.
• Inside linebacker Roquan Smith was active in the pass rush, recording at least one sack. (The plays did not always stop; both defenses weren’t finishing tackles on the pass rush.) Smith also looked fast when covering screens and keeping the Colts’ two running backs contained, and he held his own against their tight ends as they worked the middle of the field.
• With the Ravens unexpectedly squeezed at tight end because of Likely’s injury, it was a good day for Charlie Kolar to assert himself as a receiver. He caught several passes from Jackson that turned into big after-the-catch gains up the sideline. Kolar also managed to hang on to a pass over the middle from Jackson when he was met by an immediate hit from Colts safety Nick Cross. “He’s looking like a little Mark and a little Isaiah out there, in his own way,” Jackson said.
• Andrews’ best action came in seven-on-seven drills, as he showed the connection with Jackson that has made him such an end-zone threat. Andrews managed to box out coverage on a contested throw low in the red zone. He also corralled a ball by the fingertips when he was slightly overthrown, managing to come down with the score thanks to his soft hands.
• Jackson had a mixed bag in the passing game, struggling to connect on deep throws, including a promising target of Rashod Bateman that was broken up by Colts rookie corner Justin Walley. But Jackson succeeded with his trademark improvisation on another play that saw him roll out to the far sideline, throw across his body off his back foot and hit Bateman in the middle of the field for an intermediate gain.
• Rush found running back Rasheen Ali for a touchdown over the middle in an 11-on-11 red-zone drill, then had to watch as a touchdown run by running back Keaton Mitchell was called back because of an illegal formation on the next play. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken was not pleased.
• Rush also hit Wade down the seam for a pretty touchdown in a seven-on-seven red-zone drill.
• Wide receiver Devontez Walker, limited in recent days by a soft-tissue injury, came up big for the second-string offense with a couple of clutch grabs and contested catches over the middle.
• The Ravens’ wide receivers dominated their one-on-ones early in practice against the Colts’ secondary. Anthony Miller had a leaping grab on a back-shoulder throw, while Dayton Wade got wide open downfield on a stutter-and-go. Bateman, Flowers and Hopkins also won on intermediate routes, with Flowers cooking cornerback Tre Herndon on an in-breaker that left him turned around.

Aug 7, 2025
In a full-team red-zone drill, Jackson connected with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on a back-shoulder throw along the left sideline that beat tight coverage from cornerback Nate Wiggins. Jackson later found wide receiver Zay Flowers in the end zone for a score on a designed rollout. Flowers shed cornerback Marlon Humphrey as he worked his way across the grain on the route.
Jackson’s first interception also came in cramped quarters. During a seven-on-seven red-zone drill, Flowers appeared to break off a route near the back of the end zone after Jackson had already released his throw. Wiggins secured the easy pick before stepping out of the back of the end zone.
Near the end of practice, in an 11-on-11 period, Jackson was knocked off his spot by pressure and looked for wide receiver Tylan Wallace, running an intermediate crossing pattern. But the ball landed behind him and in the arms of cornerback Chidobe Awuzie.

Rookie kicker Tyler Loop didn’t kick, but the Ravens did involve him in a drill where they simulated field goal block attempts.

End zone​

Cooper Rush throws during practice at Ravens training camp on Aug. 5. (Jerry Jackson/The Baltimore Banner)

• The Ravens’ second-string offense had one of the roughest stretches of camp for any unit, committing three false-start penalties in a span of four plays in an 11-on-11 red-zone period. After the offense needed to take a timeout, and later committed a fourth false start, Harbaugh substituted four of the five linemen on the field. Quarterback Cooper Rush found tight end Scotty Washington for a leaping touchdown catch on the next play. “Seemed effective — cleaned it up after that, did you notice?” Harbaugh said of the hockey-style line change. “It seemed like it worked, for the most part.”
• Jackson had to take a “sack” and settle for a couple of throw-aways in the face of the Ravens’ pass rush. The team ended practice with a lively pass rush drill between the offensive line and the defensive front as the rest of the team watched. The defense appeared to get the better of its reps, with outside linebackers Tavius Robinson, Mike Green and Malik Hamm all winning on the edge. Left tackle Ronnie Stanley celebrated one good rep by borrowing cornerback Jaire Alexander’s buckle-your-seatbelt gesture, and tight end Charlie Kolar was quick to point out offensive wins to his defensive teammates. “That ramped it up, right?” Harbaugh said. “The stakes definitely go up. It was fun. It’s a fun drill. That’s been a good drill.”
• Wiggins ended a short stretch of underwhelming practices with a resurgent performance. In red-zone one-on-ones, he denied a fade to undrafted rookie wide receiver Jahmal Banks by getting his head around and offering a Dikembe Mutombo-esque swat for the pass breakup. He also swallowed up a route by wide receiver Rashod Bateman later in the drill and followed it up with his interception against Jackson. Wiggins’ biggest misstep came in a half-field passing drill, when he allowed wide receiver Devontez Walker to blow by him on a go route and catch a deep pass.
• Walker should’ve had another explosive play in the half-field passing drill, but he couldn’t secure a slightly underthrown ball from Jackson after a stutter-and-go. Undrafted rookie cornerback Marquise Robinson recovered in time to contest the ball at the catch point, then somehow got his hands on the deflection for a bobbled interception. Afterward, Jackson met with Walker as he walked back to the sideline and appeared to offer pointers on the play.
• Humphrey, one of the quiet stars of camp, had an uncharacteristically poor afternoon. He lost to Wallace in one-on-ones on a comeback route, gave up an in-stride completion to Walker on an in-breaker and allowed the touchdown to Flowers.
• Hopkins hasn’t had much variety in his catches at camp. Most have come on throws 5 to 15 yards downfield and outside the numbers. But they’ve been hard to stop. After beating Wiggins on the back-shoulder throw in the red zone, Hopkins got just enough separation from the starting cornerback for a catch on a comeback route in the half-field passing drill. Hopkins also snagged a low pass from Jackson over the middle for a short gain against Humphrey in a red-zone period.
• Safety Beau Brade ignited one of the more chaotic sequences of camp in an 11-on-11 red-zone period, jarring the ball loose from Walker with a punch-out after a catch in the low red zone. An offensive lineman appeared to pick up the bouncing ball, only to lose it just as quickly. Rookie inside linebacker Teddye Buchanan ended up scooping the bouncing ball and running down the left sideline.
• There was no shortage of highlight-reel catches. Along with Washington’s diving score, wide receiver Anthony Miller had a one-handed grab in one-on-ones for a touchdown, Banks had a leaping touchdown grab over Robinson near the end of practice, wide receiver Dayton Wade secured a red-zone touchdown with a contested grab against cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis, and Kolar had a nearly full-extension grab for a score near the back of the end zone.
• Rookie wide receiver LaJohntay Wester dropped a pair of balls in one-on-ones. After the second, which came after separating from rookie safety Malaki Starks, the sixth-round pick dropped to the ground and did 10 pushups as a crowd of kids watching from the stands counted off each rep.
• Starks was so quick to break on a short pass to tight end Mark Andrews, which ended with a breakup in a seven-on-seven period, that it seemed as if they’d banged knees, a no-no during a noncontact period. But both were fine after the play.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson has had a quiet training camp and showed inconsistency Sunday. (Jerry Jackson/The Baltimore Banner)

The Ravens were in pads again as they practiced for the second time in a six-day stretch.
The defense has had its fair share of wins during training camp. But on Sunday the offense, carried by its red-zone performance, evened out the win shares.
Although Lamar Jackson and his offense were up and down in regular move-the-ball periods, they found success in red-zone drills with good reads by Jackson and excellent catches by his receivers.
The second-team offense, led by Cooper Rush, did not look as consistent, with depth defensive players making big plays against them.

Here are highlights from Sunday’s practice:

The Ravens had a lot of players who did not participate in Sunday’s padded practice, but only a few are cause for concern.

Ravens place rookie CBs Bilhal Kone, Robert Longerbeam on season-ending injured reserve​

Aug 10, 2025

Over pizza and cards, the Ravens secondary is trying to build chemistry now instead of in Week 10​

Aug 9, 2025
Safety Kyle Hamilton, running back Keaton Mitchell and linebacker William Kwenkeu have injuries that coach John Harbaugh said the team isn’t worried about.
Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and cornerback Jaire Alexander did not practice but are fine, according to Harbaugh.
Tight end Isaiah Likely (foot), safety Ar’Darius Washington (Achilles) and tackle Emery Jones Jr. (shoulder) remain out.
Advertise with us
The most concerning injury updates came when the Ravens placed rookie cornerbacks Bilhal Kone (ACL and MCL) and Robert Longerbeam (knee) on injured reserve. Because they were placed on IR ahead of the roster finalization, they will miss the season.

Lamar Watch​

Jackson has had a quiet camp (for him), and he had an inconsistent performance Sunday.
At times, he worked his magic. He extended plays with his legs, as when he outran outside linebacker Odafe Oweh long enough to find wide receiver Rashod Bateman for a first down. He also placed a ball perfectly so cornerback Nate Wiggins, who had wide receiver Zay Flowers covered, couldn’t defend the touchdown pass.
But Jackson’s frustration with himself was evident at other times, including when he punted a ball down the field after fumbling a handoff. He threw a pass at Flowers’ feet and missed a connection with Dayton Wade, despite good pass protection. However, he circled back with his receivers on the sidelines, proof that he has been serious about improving communication and chemistry.
Jackson was at his best in the red zone, where he threw touchdown passes to Flowers and tight end Charlie Kolar. He also took care of the ball, except for the fumble, with zero interceptions during the team period.

Kicker watch​

Rookie kicker Tyler Loop got a lot of work in with 13 field goal attempts, making 12. However, all of the kicks were from less than 50 yards.
Loop missed his longest attempted field goal from 45 yards. His longest completed field goal was a 42-yarder.

End Zone​

• Defensive lineman Travis Jones was one of the stars in one-on-ones against offensive linemen. He beat left guard Andrew Vorhees quickly with an inside move in one encounter, then discarded him with an impressive hump move a few reps later. Vorhees also struggled against Nnamdi Madubuike in the team period.
• Right tackle Roger Rosengarten handled outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy but got knocked back several yards on a bull rush by outside linebacker Tavius Robinson.
• Rookie outside linebacker Mike Green nearly slipped by Ronnie Stanley with an inside move before the left tackle recovered quickly, but Green bounced back with an easy win against rookie tackle Carson Vinson.
• Rookie defensive lineman Aeneas Peebles won with his quickness in his two matchups against undrafted rookie guard Jared Penning.
• Bateman had maybe the most impressive rep in the Ravens receivers’ one-on-ones against defensive backs. He accelerated past Wiggins easily with a convincing stutter-and-go move before running under a deep ball for a touchdown. Wiggins later got his revenge with tight coverage on an in-breaking route by Bateman. The wide receiver also made a nice catch in a team period on a late read by Jackson, keeping up with the quarterback’s freelancing.
• Cornerback Marlon Humphrey helped force an incompletion against Flowers after the wide receiver slipped on a comeback route, then allowed a completion on a contested jump ball down the sideline to wide receiver Anthony Miller.
• Cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis had an interception after all but running wide receiver Keith Kirkwood’s vertical route for him. He was also in coverage on Kolar’s touchdown during a red-zone drill, but Kolar’s height and a perfectly thrown ball won out.
• Cornerback T.J. Tampa had tight coverage on LaJohntay Wester on an incompletion as the wide receiver ran a comeback but allowed an impressive downfield grab to undrafted rookie wide receiver Xavier Guillory, partly because he decided not to risk a midair collision.
• Rush had difficulty taking care of the ball in team drills. He threw an interception to cornerback Reuben Lowery, who was covering wide receiver Malik Cunningham. Lowery also had two pass defenses against Rush. Safety Beau Brade almost picked off another of Rush’s passes, but wide receiver Devontez Walker bailed the quarterback out. Brade also deflected another of Rush’s passes.

Lamar watch​

Quarterback Lamar Jackson had a relatively accurate, if quiet, day until late in practice. Unofficially, he finished 16-for-22 in 11-on-11 action and 7-for-7 in seven-on-seven action.
Jackson’s biggest mistake came during an 11-on-11 red-zone drill in the Ravens’ penultimate period. After opening the “drive” with a quick completion to Hopkins and a touchdown to tight end Mark Andrews, who appeared to beat inside linebacker Trenton Simpson on an angle route near the goal line, Jackson looked for wide receiver Keith Kirkwood near the back of the end zone. But he either underthrew Kirkwood or didn’t see safety Malaki Starks lurking. The first-round pick stepped in front of Jackson’s pass for a leaping interception over the middle.

Here's how the Ravens rookies looked in first preseason game​

Aug 7, 2025

Jackson still ended the practice on a high note. With the offense needing a long touchdown drive in a hurry-up drill and about 100 seconds on the clock, Jackson started his final drive with a short completion to tight end Charlie Kolar, a sack that required a timeout, another completion to Kolar, and a sideline throw to wide receiver Rashod Bateman that stopped the clock.
After a scramble up the middle, Jackson hit wide receiver Devontez Walker near the left sideline, threading a pass between safety Sanoussi Kane and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie that stopped the clock with 29 seconds remaining.
On his next drop-back, Jackson looked for Hopkins, who was taking cornerback Nate Wiggins deep down the right sideline, with no apparent safety help over the top. Hopkins was well covered, but Hopkins shed Wiggins just as the ball arrived and secured the 40-yard bomb in the end zone. The play was likely Hopkins’ biggest play of camp.

Kicker watch​

Rookie Tyler Loop didn’t kick much, but the Ravens did experiment with what Harbaugh called special teams “contingencies.” Punter Jordan Stout, who kicked at Penn State and Virginia Tech, hit a 33-yarder with Loop standing in as his holder. Center Tyler Linderbaum, meanwhile, got a rep as a holder on a short kick by Loop.

Extra points​

Cornerback Nate Wiggins (2) catches a pass during practice on July 24. (Ulysses Muñoz/The Baltimore Banner)

• Hopkins burned Wiggins late, but the starting cornerback had a strong start to practice. Wiggins covered wide receiver Tylan Wallace closely on an in-breaker that Jackson missed in 11-on-11 action, then did the same to Bateman on a slant route two drop-backs later. Jackson started 1-for-5 overall after defensive lineman Brent Urban got his hand on a pass at the line of scrimmage.
• Backup quarterback Cooper Rush connected with tight end Scotty Washington for a nice leaping catch over the middle against cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis, who appeared to let up rather than charge in for a potential breakup. A cautious approach could benefit Armour-Davis, who has been tripped up by injuries in Baltimore and, after a strong start to camp, now seems likely to make the Ravens’ initial 53-man roster.
• Andrews was one of the NFL’s best red-zone targets last season, finishing with a team-high 11 touchdowns, and he remains a magnet for touches near the goal line this summer. He found a sliver of space between cornerback Marlon Humphrey and Simpson in an early 11-on-11 period, where Jackson found him for a short touchdown pass. Andrews beat Simpson for the later touchdown in the red zone as well.
• Humphrey broke up a would-be touchdown pass to wide receiver Zay Flowers two plays after Starks’ interception, ripping the ball loose as Flowers came down with the throw near the back of the end zone.
• Rookie outside linebacker Mike Green, despite his smaller stature, hasn’t given up much ground as a run defender in camp. In an 11-on-11 period against the second-team offense, he sniffed out an end-around to wide receiver LaJohntay Wester and jolted rookie right tackle Carson Vinson back a few yards, blocking Wester’s path to the outside.
• Undrafted rookie safety Keondre Jackson ended practice with an interception, ranging over to pick off a deep pass from Rush to Walker, who was well covered by Armour-Davis down the right sideline.

Cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis (undisclosed) was not at practice. Safety Kyle Hamilton (groin), who returned for Tuesday’s walk-through, and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (undisclosed), who returned Monday, were missing again.
Tight end Isaiah Likely (foot/ankle), running back Keaton Mitchell (undisclosed), undrafted rookie running back Marcus Major Jr. (concussion), rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. (shoulder), undrafted rookie inside linebacker William Kwenkeu (undisclosed), cornerback Jaire Alexander (undisclosed) and safety Ar’Darius Washington (Achilles tendon) remain sidelined.
Coach John Harbaugh said the Ravens will continue to rest most of their starters Saturday against Dallas.

Lamar watch​

Quarterback Lamar Jackson connected early and often with Rashod Bateman, the team’s most consistent wide receiver throughout camp. Unofficially, Jackson was 14-for-24 overall in 11-on-11 action.
Jackson and Bateman picked on cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, who hasn’t been targeted often in camp. Early in full-team work, Bateman earned catches on a slant route, an out route and a hitch route.
Later in practice, around midfield, Bateman ran a vertical route near the left sideline against Awuzie and separated with ease. Jackson’s deep shot hit him in stride about 40 yards downfield, before safety Sanoussi Kane could arrive to contest the catch, and Bateman cruised into the end zone.

Overall, Jackson and Bateman connected for seven completions in 11-on-11 work.

Kicker watch​

Rookie Tyler Loop finished 7-for-9 on his field goal attempts and converted a 67-yard free kick, a rarely seen play that the Jim Harbaugh-coached Los Angeles Chargers executed last season.
Advertise with us
“I was always very jealous of Jim, because I always figured, as a special teams guy, I would get that first,” John Harbaugh said of the play, which allows a team to fair-catch a punt at the end of a half and attempt a field goal from that spot. “Then he gets it first. It’s like he always does; he gets the first things.”
Loop missed a 46-yard field goal early in practice and a rushed 48-yarder late in practice, but he made kicks from 41, 46 and 52 yards.

End zone​

• The Ravens’ first-string offense has struggled at times this camp in the red zone, where Jackson’s passing lanes get tighter. In his first 11-on-11 period inside the 20-yard line, he took a “sack” and started 0-for-3 before hitting wide receiver Devontez Walker on a corner route near the edge of the end zone for a short touchdown pass against cornerback Nate Wiggins.
• Outside linebacker Mike Green flashed early in practice by knifing into the backfield for a would-be tackle for loss against running back Rasheen Ali. The second-round pick also flashed late in practice with a couple of decisive wins in a team pass rush drill against rookie offensive tackle Carson Vinson, getting into the backfield with a speed rush and an inside counter.
• Wide receiver Zay Flowers got just enough separation from Wiggins on a go route to bring in a perfect pass in a one-on-one battle. One rep later, Bateman tried to take cornerback Marlon Humphrey deep, but his route was well covered and the pass ended up wide and overthrown.
• Undrafted rookie defensive back Reuben Lowery had at least two pass breakups. Early in practice, he triggered quickly to contest a short pass over the middle from quarterback Cooper Rush to tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden. Later, in the red zone, he drove on another pass from a deep-lying position, deflecting a pass from Rush to Walker. Lowery, who’s making a strong bid for a roster spot, also had a lowlight, losing his balance and falling to the ground during a one-on-one rep against wide receiver Anthony Miller.
• Cornerback T.J. Tampa smothered a vertical route from undrafted rookie wide receiver Xavier Guillory, then got to the ball first when Rush went for a back-shoulder fade, securing the interception.
• The penalty-prone Ravens had a mostly clean practice, but a false-start infraction appeared to wipe out an impressive throw from Jackson to tight end Mark Andrews over the middle that likely would’ve gone for at least 15 to 20 yards. Jackson and running back Derrick Henry also had an apparent miscommunication on an option play late in practice that led to a fumble and a recovery by outside linebacker David Ojabo.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson leaves practice early after getting stepped on but is ‘fine’​

Quarterback Lamar Jackson left Ravens practice early Wednesday after he was knocked down on a drop-back, but a team spokesperson said Jackson had his foot stepped on and is “fine.”
Coach John Harbaugh was not scheduled to speak to reporters until after Thursday’s practice. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said he didn’t see what happened on the play.
Jackson, a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player and the leader of one of the NFL’s best offenses, appeared to be flexing his right (throwing) wrist after the fall, which occurred during 11-on-11 drills about 80 minutes into practice. Defensive players are not allowed to contact quarterbacks during practice.
Jackson did not immediately leave practice after hitting the ground. He completed a deep pass to rookie wide receiver LaJohntay Wester before missing badly on a check-down to running back Keaton Mitchell. He then walked into the team facility with strength and conditioning coordinator Scott Elliott, stopping to speak with Ravens executive vice president Ozzie Newsome. He was followed by members of the team’s athletic training staff, including chief medical officer Dr. Andrew Tucker.

“I was thinking, like, ‘Oh, you know, he’s just probably resting his arm, something like that,” said wide receiver Tylan Wallace, who didn’t see what led to Jackson’s fall. “But obviously we’re keeping him in our prayers and everything. I hope he’s doing great and all of that stuff. But I’m sure, Lamar being Lamar, he’ll be back before we know it.”
Jackson has been healthy for the entirety of training camp, missing only one practice Aug. 4 for preplanned personal reasons. He sat out the Ravens’ preseason wins against the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys and was not expected to play in Saturday’s finale against the Washington Commanders.

Aug 16, 2025
The Ravens open their season on the road against the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 7. Jackson has not missed a regular-season game because of injury since 2022.
Here are the highlights from Wednesday’s padded practice:

• Quarterback Cooper Rush, Jackson’s backup, threw two interceptions to cornerback T.J. Tampa, both on pressured drop-backs. Tampa made a diving grab for the first pick, which came after Rush’s pass was deflected near the line of scrimmage. The second turnover came as Rush looked to make a throw near the left sideline, only for the ball to sail to Tampa.
• Jackson had a strong start to practice, hitting wide receiver Devontez Walker for two solid gains in 11-on-11 action before a back-shoulder pass to Wallace drew a pass interference penalty on cornerback Nate Wiggins. But he missed his next three throws, all to the sideline.
• Outside linebackers Odafe Oweh and Tavius Robinson recorded easy pressures on fourth-down pass rushes against the Ravens’ third-string offense. Rookie outside linebacker Mike Green was also disruptive.
• Undrafted rookie cornerback Keyon Martin, who’s fighting for a roster spot, had an impressive pass breakup against Rush, leaping for a deflection over the middle and nearly crashing into Wester.
• Wide receiver Anthony Miller had a leaping catch along the left sideline on a deep shot from Rush despite tight coverage from cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis.
• Rookie kicker Tyler Loop didn’t attempt any field goals during team drills.
• Wide receiver Dayton Wade and outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy returned to practice, though both were limited. Wide receiver Rashod Bateman missed practice. Also missing were fullback Patrick Ricard (undisclosed), tight end Isaiah Likely (foot), rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. (shoulder), outside linebacker Adisa Isaac (elbow), inside linebacker William Kwenkeu (undisclosed), and cornerbacks Jaire Alexander (knee) and Chidobe Awuzie (undisclosed).
