Ravens ILB Patrick Queen cleaning out his locker, most likely for the last time in Owings Mills.
Says he’s going to pray about his future as he will be a free agent:
“God doesn’t make mistakes.”
#RavensFlock
Ravens RB Dalvin Cook has told me since he got here 3 weeks ago - how much it has meant to him to play on the same team as Lamar Jackson.
Asked him 1:1 about that first handoff today:
“Something I could tell my kids when I’m older. I got the ball from Lamar!”
#RavensFlock
A slew of guys not at Ravens practice today:
Odell Beckham Jr.
Zay Flowers
Kyle Hamilton
Malik Harrison
Daryl Worley
Marlon Humphrey
Kevin Zeitler
But - AFC Offensive Player of the Week Lamar Jackson is present - with a little extra pep in his step, perhaps.
#RavensFlock
No one happier to be back on the field today than Ravens RB JK Dobbins!
Said hi to us media folks as he came out onto the field, kneeled and prayed for a few minutes and then got right to work.
#RavensFlock
It’s back to school now for Ravens rookie safety Kyle Hamilton!
“I know you’re familiar with the Korean mom. 🤣 I want her to see me get my degree as soon as possible. One of the big reasons why I went to Notre Dame was to get that degree.”
#RavensFlock
Former Steelers-now-Ravens CB Arthur Maulet posts this pic before every game.
He told me in our 1:1 - It’s the house he grew up in, in the lower 9th ward in New Orleans. He’s the oldest of 5, raised by a single mother.
“Just a simple reminder, to be grateful.”
#RavensFlock
Ravens RG Kevin Zeitler and WR Tylan Wallace are back at practice today.
No CB Rock Ya-Sin on a hazy, kind of humid (?) afternoon in Owings Mills.
But plz enjoy Jadeveon Clowney vibing to some MJ. 😎
#RavensFlock
How much does being voted into the Pro Bowl mean to Ravens ILB Patrick Queen?
“Not even when we won the Natty [at LSU], I don’t think I was that happy, honestly.”
#RavensFlock
Some food for thought that Ravens LB Malik Harrison pointed out to me today:
The last time the Ravens won AFC Championships and Super Bowls: 2000 & 2012 - 12 years apart.
2012 + 12 = 2024.
"I'm just saying... think about it!" 🤔😈
#RavensFlock
While Dalvin Cook & I were chatting, Nelson Agholor was singing "In the End" by Linkin Park at the top of his lungs, lol.
Appropriately, Dalvin mentioned the high vibes on this Ravens team at that moment:
"High energy! Everybody is happy to come to work and be around here."
I’ve talked to a lot of guys in the Ravens locker room this week about Lamar Jackson.
WR Rashod Bateman putting it simply:
“You can tell that he’s hungry and eager to win a Super Bowl.”
#RavensFlock
Needless to say, a lot of Ravens are stoked that TE Mark Andrews is back.
While he was being interviewed in a scrum this afternoon:
TE Isaiah Likely: “OMG it’s Mark Andrews!”
CB Arthur Maulet: “He’s baaackkkkk!”
RT Morgan Moses: “Yeah Mark!!”
#RavensFlock
Blake Martinez yelling “Too easy! Too easy!” as he comes off of the field.
Followed by a spirited Tony Brown and subdued J.K. Scott

Guys, I know I keep posting Marlon eating food on the Roquan, Marlon, Tyus & Ronnie off-season adventures in Asia series…
But it makes me SO happy to see all of them try and enjoy Asian food! Marlon eating noodles, and Roquan eating fish in Thailand today. 💁🏻♀️
#RavensFlock
Ravens S Kyle Hamilton has a hefty course load this spring at Notre Dame:
"Digital marketing, finance. I'm not taking any basket weaving or anything like that!"
Told me he's looking forward to being *just* a student, which he has never been able to do in his life.
#RavensFlock
It’s back to school now for Ravens rookie safety Kyle Hamilton!
“I know you’re familiar with the Korean mom. 🤣 I want her to see me get my degree as soon as possible. One of the big reasons why I went to Notre Dame was to get that degree.”

It has undoubtedly been the most difficult few days of my life. My dad exemplified everything that I strive to be in life - kind, inspiring and a mentor to many people. My family is so grateful to all who have reached out with their love and support.
I’m so thrilled to be joining

I’ve loved telling stories about this team for the last two seasons and can’t wait to continue in the city where I was raised.
Can’t wait to see you tomorrow,

Ravens LB Roquan Smith on coming back to Cincinnati next week for the playoffs:
When you’re out there, it’s a war… I think next week, it’ll be a good opportunity to show the world who we are.

Rashod Bateman just made a fabulous leaping TD catch in the corner of the end zone in double coverage (Stephens, Washington).
It’s his first day partaking in team drills since he made his debut.
Harbs said on Wednesday that Bateman is on schedule in his recovery.
#RavensFlock
Under Todd Monken, then-Browns QB Baker Mayfield threw a single-season career high 3,827 yards and 22 TDs in 2019.
As OC in Tampa Bay, he helped the Buccaneers lead the league in passing offense (320.3 ypg) and finish third in total offense (415.5 ypg) in 2018.
#RavensFlock
Todd Monken had several options as an NFL OC but prioritized Baltimore, which was the most coveted playcalljng job available. Monken’s passing concepts will help (presumably) Lamar Jackson.
Chatted one-on-one with Ravens ILB Roquan Smith today about a plethora of topics - including Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase’s comment about the chest bump:
#RavensFlock
I’m still not over this. 🤯
After the game, Lamar was like - “it’s cool… I don’t know.. it’s cool” about that play.
Meanwhile I’m like - OMG this is not human!!l HOW!!!!!!
#RavensFlock
Life update: it’s been a whirlwind first few weeks covering OBJ’s intro to the Ravens & a preview to the 🇰🇷🇺🇸 state dinner, but I’m honored to be freelancing alongside talented journalists at

(PS. I’ll still have a footprint in Baltimore sports come 🏈 szn, stay tuned!)
A welcome sight for the Ravens defense:
LB Patrick Queen was moving around well at practice today, considering he was carted off of the field just three days ago. Official word is a thigh bruise.
#RavensFlock
I lived two blocks away from Camp Randall for four years, and people would start tailgating on my street at 7am for an 11am kick.
Wisconsin sports fans do NOT play.

Free-agent Derrick Henry is signing a two-year, $16 million deal worth up to $20 million, including $9 million fully guaranteed in the first year with the Baltimore Ravens, sources tell ESPN.
So Brad Davison fell into a girl shooting the game while he dove for a ball in the 2nd half.
He just asked us - “is the girl I accidentally kicked in here? I’m serious. I just want to make sure she’s okay.”
Guy is about as nice as they come, y’all.

“I’m very humbled at how many people have come to help us and help out with the situation.”
This is the bravest 13-year old I’ve ever met. I was covering a fundraiser for the Moore Family Foundation when Jerrell came up to me, wanted to talk and be interviewed to thank everyone.
Ravens WR Odell Beckham Jr. on how this team feels different from other teams he's been on:
"This is the best team I’ve been on in the NFL ever in my entire life.”
#RavensFlock
A few weeks ago, Ravens TE Isaiah Likely said the possibilities are “endless” with both him and Mark Andrews on the field.
Asked Mark about the opportunity of two TE sets today (which OC Todd Monken is a fan of):
“It’s dangerous.” 😈

Greg Gard says he’ll take this Big Ten regular season trophy with him to visit Howard Moore next week.

Former Packers’ pass rusher Za'Darius Smith is signing a four-year, $35 million deal that has a max value of $50 million with the Baltimore Ravens, per source.
Standing ovation from the M&T Bank Stadium crowd as the Ravens honor WR Jacoby Jones - who passed away on July 14th.
He was so clearly adored by the

Rarely do we see Ravens RB JK Dobbins without a smile, so I asked him today how he’s been able to maintain that attitude throughout his injury and recovery:

#RavensFlock
Ravens S Kyle Hamilton, ILB Roquan Smith & RB Dalvin Cook all mentioned telling their kids/grandkids about this team in the future today.
I asked Dalvin about that sentiment in our 1:1 this afternoon:
“You just cherish the moment.”
#RavensFlock
Ravens GM Eric DeCosta on the outside chatter and noise:
We are a cocoon in this building. We try to drown all that stuff out.
When I'm in this building, I'm at peace. It's not really a distraction for me.

Work smarter: Odell Beckham Jr. warming up his helmet by the heater.
Temps expected to be in the low 20s at kickoff on Saturday vs. Texans. 🥶

(Rashard Griffith in the house too, for hugs and congrats.)
#OnWisconsin
Ravens HC John Harbaugh was visibly not happy in his postgame press conference - easily the most unhappy I've seen him this season.
Said the poor play started with the coaching staff and their game plan.

: built different.
No surprise but Ravens RG (and Waukesha, WI native) Kevin Zeitler one of the first guys out here - in a sleeveless shirt and shorts.
Asked him about the weather in our 1:1 this week:
“I’ve dealt with worse.”
25, feels like 12 rn. 🥶
#RavensFlock
First day off since the season ended.
In sweatpants, eating Indian takeout and catching up on all of the shows I missed this year.
I cannot explain how content I am at the moment. 🧘🏻♀️
Being judged for the amount of Old Bay I’m putting on my crab soup… I thought this was totally normal… right….
(Tbh I added more after this pic. 🤷🏻♀️)
