Latest news from Ravens camp
Friday, July 25
Ravens rookie kicker Tyler Loop has delivered a strong start to training camp as he looks to replace Justin Tucker.
Loop has been perfect in the first couple of days, making all 16 of his field-goal attempts in practice. On Friday, Loop made all 10 of his tries, including one from 63 yards.
"It was a good test day," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said of Loop. "He had kicks situationally all week. And then to come out here and take it deep, it was a good day."
Loop, who was selected in the sixth round, is competing against undrafted rookie John Hoyland for Baltimore's kicking job, which is the biggest position battle in Ravens camp.
Baltimore released Tucker, a seven-time Pro Bowler, on May 5 amid an NFL investigation for sexual misconduct. The league has since suspended Tucker for 10 games for violating the personal conduct policy.

Cornerback Marlon Humphrey isn't interested in the heightened expectations surrounding the Ravens when he knows about the perception about Baltimore from within the AFC North.
"I know when I first got here, obviously the Ravens defense, I felt like teams feared what we did," Humphrey said. "Now, we are trying to get that back, but I mean I don't think the Bengals fear our defense. I don't think the Steelers fear our defense. So those expectations, when it's in your own division, people kind of like, 'Sweet, we play the Ravens.'"
To get back to that dominant level, Humphrey believes it comes down to taking the ball away from teams.
"If you're just [looking at] percentages to win a game, [they] go extremely low if you don't have a turnover," Humphrey said. "I know everybody [here at training camp] wants to see Lamar [Jackson] throw his little touchdowns, but we're trying to get the ball. Turnovers are, by far, the biggest thing that is being preached."

Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers provided the first big play of camp as well as the first scare. Flowers electrified the crowd by catching a pass on a slant route and burst upfield for a long touchdown. Later, Flowers appeared to tweak his ankle and missed a few reps. After being seen by a trainer, Flowers was back on the field and made several catches.
There's a lot of hype surrounding this Ravens offense, which returns 10 starters after finishing No. 1 in the NFL last season in yards per game. "I believe our offense has no limits," quarterback Lamar Jackson said. "It's no roof. The ceiling is unlimited for our guys."
In the Ravens' kicking competition to replace Justin Tucker, rookie sixth-round pick Tyler Loop made all six of his attempts. Undrafted rookie John Hoyland was 4-of-5, hooking a 40-yarder wide left.
In his first practice with the Ravens, cornerback Jaire Alexander made a couple of pass breakups. Jackson, who played in college with Alexander at Louisville, said after practice that Alexander "is still that guy."
