Let's get into it all, and be sure to keep checking back for more information until the first full week of the preseason begins Thursday.
Latest news from Ravens camp
Harbaugh: Lamar Jackson as good a passer as there's ever been
Jaire Alexander: Joining Lamar Jackson in Baltimore easy call
Mark Andrews not dwelling on possible final year with Ravens
Wednesday, Aug. 6
Ravens coach John Harbaugh confirmed Tuesday that quarterback Lamar Jackson, running back Derrick Henry and other top players will not play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts.
Harbaugh was noncommittal about who would play in the second and third preseason games.
"We will take the next game as we go," Harbaugh said.
Jackson has not played in the preseason over the previous three seasons. His last preseason appearance came in 2021, when then-starting running back J.K. Dobbins suffered a season-ending knee injury on the opening drive.
Camp recap: Who has been your standout performer of camp?
WR Devontez Walker. The fourth-round pick from a year ago has made a memorable catch nearly every day at training camp. The biggest difference from last season has been Walker's ability to create separation. As a rookie, he was limited to one catch -- although it was a 21-yard touchdown. This year, Walker is firmly situated as Baltimore's No. 4 wideout behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins.
Camp recap: What is the biggest question to answer for your team in preseason games?
Will Tyler Loop wrap up the kicking job? The rookie sixth-round pick is the only kicker currently on the roster after Baltimore waived John Hoyland on Aug. 2. But Harbaugh said Loop still has to show he can deliver in the preseason. Loop has been impressive this summer with his leg strength and consistency, making 90% of his kicks. He is the heavy favorite to replace Justin Tucker. If Loop would struggle in the preseason, the Ravens would likely bring in a veteran kicker.

Even without Isaiah Likely, quarterback Lamar Jackson continues to lean on his tight ends.
During the joint practice with the Colts, Jackson stretched the field with two long throws to Charlie Kolar and also connected with Mark Andrews with two touchdown passes in the red zone. This wasn't a surprise considering Andrews led all NFL tight ends with 11 touchdowns last season.
Jackson said it's Andrews' "feel for the game" which makes him such a great target inside the 20-yard line.
"He [has] got a great eye for the defense," Jackson said.
Likely suffered a small fracture in his foot on July 29 and is expected to return early in the regular season. The Ravens haven't ruled him out for the Sept. 7 season opener at the Buffalo Bills.
Monday, Aug. 4
With quarterback Lamar Jackson not practicing due to an excused absence, backup Cooper Rush received his most significant reps with the Ravens' first-team offense.
Rush, who was signed as a free agent this offseason after seven seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, looked comfortable with the starters. On his best drive of the day, he threw a deep pass over the middle to Zay Flowers and then hit Tylan Wallace for a touchdown on a fade route.
"He just gets it," Monken said. "You don't make it as long as he has without understanding what's asked of you through your system, and yet knowing your liabilities as a player. I think he's maximized that. He knows where to go with the ball. He knows when to get it out on time. He understands concepts. That's what makes him a true pro."
Jackson missed his first practice at this year's training camp because of a pre-planned personal matter, according to the team. He hasn't missed a regular-season start due to injury since the end of the 2022 season.
Sunday, Aug. 3
Rookie kicker Tyler Loop showed off his strong leg at Sunday's practice at M&T Bank Stadium.
Loop made all 11 field goal attempts, hitting from 56 and 60 yards.
"He passed the test with flying colors," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "Not surprised but very happy."
Loop is currently the only kicker on the Ravens roster. Baltimore cut undrafted rookie kicker John Hoyland on Saturday.
But the Ravens will wait to announce Justin Tucker's replacement after seeing how Loop fares in the preseason.
Saturday, Aug. 2
Ravens cornerback Jaire Alexander had some success at the expense of his close friend Lamar Jackson. Alexander picked off his former Louisville teammate twice, jumping sideline routes each time.
The entire defense erupted in celebration around Alexander, who has impressed his new team with his coverage skills and confidence.
"He's special," Ravens senior secondary coach Chuck Pagano said. "He's got so much juice, so much energy and so much swag. He's been telling us that he hasn't played football since November. Then, he jumps out there and looks like he hasn't taken a day off."
Alexander, a two-time Pro Bowler for the Green Bay Packers, signed a one-year, $4 million contract with Baltimore on June 18.

Andrew Vorhees is in the lead over Ben Cleveland for the starting left guard job, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. He also indicated the team would likely know the starter by the end of Thursday's preseason game against the Colts.
Harbaugh said rookie Tyler Loop hasn't won the kicking job even though he is currently the only kicker on the roster. Baltimore released kicker John Hoyland on Saturday. "He's kicking well enough to earn the job," Harbaugh said of Loop. "But, as we know, it's going to be the [preseason] games. That's going to mean the most."
Thursday, July 31
Lamar Jackson produced his best stretch of training camp. He completed two deep throws to wide receiver Dayton Wade, including one where he hit Wade on stride on a 30-yard pass.
Jackson then delivered a no-look pass to wide receiver Malik Cunningham, where he stared down running back Derrick Henry in the flat before whipping the ball to Cunningham in the seam.
"I think he sees the field better now than he did two years ago," offensive coordinator Todd Monken said. "I think he's just getting started with his ability."
Jackson holds himself to a high standard. He was so upset that he missed a wide open Keith Kirkwood along the right sideline that he did push-ups on the field after his pass sailed high.
Jackson's strong day is more impressive considering three of his top targets (wide receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman and tight end Isaiah Likely) didn't practice.

Backup safety Sanoussi Kane continued to make a case for more playing time with a strong training camp. He picked off a deflected Jackson pass, which came after two days of delivering big hits during padded practices. Kane has a chance to become Baltimore's No. 3 safety after Ar'Darius Washington tore his Achilles in the spring.
The Ravens are struggling with false starts, committing seven on the day. After left tackle Ronnie Stanley was flagged for one in the red zone, he threw his helmet down in frustration.

It was the most ragged training camp day yet for quarterback Lamar Jackson and a depleted offense.
The offense was flagged for five false start penalties, and Jackson had a shotgun snap sail over his head. It was a struggle to complete many passes downfield.
It was a challenging day for an offense that was without two injured starters (wide receiver Zay Flowers and tight end Isaiah Likely) and held out two other starters (left tackle Ronnie Stanley and wide receiver Rashod Bateman) for long periods in practice.
The Ravens were also battling one of the hottest days of camp. The heat index reached 102 degrees.
"I do think it factors in some of the mental stuff, but it forces you to really concentrate and work at the mental challenges of the game," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "So that's what we need this time of year."

Flowers, who is Lamar Jackson's No. 1 target, is expected to miss the end of the second week of training camp with a "camp-type" injury, Harbaugh said. He is expected to return in a few days.
Rookie K Tyler Loop made all nine of his field-goal attempts, including a 53-yarder. Loop, who is the front-runner to replace Justin Tucker, is 35-of-38 (92.1%) in training camp.

Lamar Jackson reminded everyone that he's still one of the most explosive running quarterbacks in the NFL when he scrambled to his right, beat the defense to the edge and raced 75 yards along the sideline for a touchdown. The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player celebrated with chest bumps with his offensive teammates.
Even though Jackson threw for a career-high 4,172 yards passing last season, he was still dangerous as a runner. He produced 915 yards rushing, which were his most since 2020.
There was a debate after practice whether Jackson would have scored if the defense was allowed to hit Jackson in training camp.
"We do protect Lamar," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "But I wanted them to get a little closer, at least make it legitimate that he thinks you had a chance to get him."
Outside linebacker Odafe Oweh was asked whether the defense could have stopped Jackson on that play.
"I mean, I'm just saying coach [Harbaugh] is telling us to stay away from him," Oweh said.

Nate Wiggins came up big in the red-zone drill for a depleted Ravens cornerback group. Wiggins broke up a would-be Lamar Jackson touchdown pass and then drew an offensive pass interference penalty from DeAndre Hopkins in the end zone.
"He's had a couple of really good two to three practices in a row, both playing press and off and coverage," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "He also reacted nicely to underneath throws in zone and made some nice tackles, too."
A first-round pick a year ago, Wiggins is expected to replace Brandon Stephens in the starting lineup.
Baltimore is dealing with some injuries at cornerback. Jalyn Armour-Davis is having an MRI after leaving early in practice, but Harbaugh doesn't think it's serious. Jaire Alexander didn't practice after some swelling in his knee, but he is expected to return this week after having his knee drained. And rookie Bilhal Kone is dealing with a shoulder injury and is expected to return soon.
Ravens kicker Tyler Loop's perfect training camp ended. The rookie sixth-round pick was 5-of-8 on Monday, hitting the left upright from 43 yards and missing wide left from 38 and 45 yards. This came after Loop made all 23 of his kicks in the first week of camp. Loop remains the favorite to take over for Justin Tucker, who was released in May.
Although there was a flag on the play, DeAndre Hopkins made a highlight catch on a Lamar Jackson pass:

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."
