Team news: Baltimore Ravens | Page 2

Head coach John Harbaugh declined to specify why Lamar Jackson or any other player was not on the field for the day’s session.

“We had a number of guys that weren’t out there — some personal, some physical,” Harbaugh said in his press conference. “So, injury report comes out Wednesday afternoon, so you’ll be better advised on that day regarding all those guys.”

Reporters on the scene noticed Jackson was not participating in the day’s session, the story said. Jackson played each one of Baltimore’s 80 offensive snaps in the team’s season-opening loss to Kansas City. He completed 26-of-41 passes for 273 yards with a touchdown and rushed for 122 yards. Jackson's absence could be under the "personal" category, but looks like we'll have to wait until Wednesday for more information. The Ravens host the Raiders in an early game in Week 2.

Ian Rapoport reported Ravens TE Mark Andrews was back at practice.

Andrews was in a car accident back in the middle of August and was dealing with something the team called "very minor." However, it kept Andrews out of practice up until recently. The team also said they would bring back Andrews slow after the accident. It has left owners wondering just what was going on with their star tight end, but with Andrews now practicing again, it looks like he should be good for Thursday's Week 1 opener.

A bit of a shocker: Panthers are releasing WR Terrace Marshall.

Some who follow the team thought Marshall was having a good camp and potentially turning things around for himself. But, the Panthers paid a lot of attention to the WR position the last couple of years. They traded for Johnson this spring after signing Thielen the previous year. Also this spring, they drafted Legette at the end of the first round, after selecting Mingo the previous season, that left Marshall buried down the depth chart.

Baltimore is expected to leave RB Keaton Mitchell on the Physically Unable to Perform List, which means he will be ineligible to play the first four games of the season.

Mitchell burst onto the scene last year and was a very popular pickup that paid off for a couple of weeks before he went down for the season. Hill will likely get the call to compliment Henry, and Ali could get a chance as well. Ali was a popular, late-round dynasty name this past spring.

Ravens tight end Mark Andrews remained out of practice on Monday.

Andrews was involved in a car accident last Wednesday and the team said that he suffered no “apparent injury” at the time. On Monday, however, head coach John Harbaugh said that Andrews is dealing with something “very minor” and the team will take it slow in bringing him back to the field.

Andrews is expected to travel with the team to Green Bay for joint practices with the Packers later this week. The Ravens will then close out the preseason against the Packers over the weekend, the story said. Harbaugh was quoted in the story, saying, "We’re not messing with it right now. Don’t worry about Mark."

Ravens TE Mark Andrews was involved in a car accident this morning. Ravens say that Andrews didn't sustain any apparent injuries.

We'll keep an eye on this situation, but it doesn't seem to be anything too serious for Andrews as it stands.

Via Joe Person of TheAthletic.com, first-round rookie receiver Xavier Legette is back on the field after missing a few practices with a foot injury.

The Panthers traded up to pick Legette with the 32nd selection in the first round. He's expected to slide into the WR3 role, assuming he can get back up to speed, behind Johnson and Thielen.

Lamar Jackson told reporters on Monday that he was dealing with a “bug” that he’s finally been able to shake.

“I feel wonderful,” Jackson said. “Good to be back. Back out with my guys, back with the coaching staff.”

Jackson missed four of the team's first five practices and but said he felt he remained “locked in” and that his “mind was still in it” while he was off the field, so he doesn’t feel he has a lot of catching up to do now that he’s working again, the story said.

After missing the past few days of practice due to a stomach virus, Lamar Jackson returned today.

There's probably no predictive value in this, but it sure seems like Jackson gets sick more than any other NFL player. Regardless, if he's on the field, he's a locked-in top-3 option at the position and should be treated as such in your fantasy drafts.

This offseason was different for Ravens tight end Mark Andrews.

After missing eight games last season with a severe ankle injury, he said he didn’t feel like himself again until late March or early April. He took up Pilates as he searched for unique ways to get back into form.

His 11 games in 2023 were his fewest as a pro as the veteran dealt with the first long-term injury of his career. The Ravens fared fine in his absence, but the void he left was obvious. Now Andrews, recuperated from the injury, enters his seventh training camp armed with a fresh perspective but the same optimism.

“I feel 100%,” Andrews said. “A lot better than I ever have.”

Since his rookie season, Andrews has never averaged less than 50 yards per game and has averaged 0.48 touchdowns per game in his last three seasons. If he can play 16 games at those rates, he’s looking at 800 yards and 7.7 touchdowns, according to our own John Paulsen. He's third on our TE list.
