Ravens preseason shows depth: center stability, TE revival, Burke's rise, Eckley punting edge

Baltimore’s win over Minnesota highlighted four takeaways: center depth remains solid after Danny Pinter’s injury (with Ethan Pocic showing health in extended action); the tight end room isn’t collapsing—Hibner and Cuevas contribute alongside Mark Andrews and Durham Smythe; Ethan Burke is emerging as the 5th outside linebacker; and Ryan Eckley’s punting performance suggests he could supplant Jordan Stout as the Ravens’ elite punter.

Wentz, Felton spark Vikings as they fall to Ravens in a low-scoring preseason

The Minnesota Vikings lost 13-3 to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2 of the preseason. The defense kept the Ravens from exploiting third downs, but Minnesota’s offense struggled to run (about 3.6 yards per carry). Standouts for the Vikings included Tai Felton, who continued his strong camp and could push for WR3, and Carson Wentz, who went 9-for-11 for 92 yards as the third-string QB. Jacob Thomas added a key fourth-quarter pass breakup, and Kenny Dyson Jr. registered a sack and pressure. J.J. McCarthy had a less efficient showing (5-of-10 for 81 yards), fueling ongoing backup-QB questions as Minnesota evaluates its roster.

Punter Ryan Eckley pinned Vikings with six punts for 332 yards, while OL Vega Ioane and LB Adisa Isaac had rough moments that temper early optimism.

McCarthy misfires on TD try, takes a few hits as Vikings evaluate QB2 vs. Ravens

In Minnesota’s preseason matchup with Baltimore, J.J. McCarthy started and went 5-for-10 for 81 yards, missing a sideline target on the first snap and another pass to Myles Price near the end zone. He was sacked once and absorbed multiple hits, and appeared to be wincing on the sideline after his final drive, as Carson Wentz entered in the second quarter and coach Kevin O’Connell kept the door open for a QB2 competition.

Vikings Defense Stifles Ravens in Day 2 Joint Practice

Day 2 of Vikings–Ravens joint practices ahead of Saturday’s preseason game saw Minnesota’s defense once again neutralize the Ravens, limiting deep plays and dominating late two-minute drills. Offensively, the Vikings showed gradual progress, with Murray hitting Jefferson and Jennings and engineering a late drive that ended in a 45-yard Will Reichard field goal to win the drill. J.J. McCarthy looked crisper but flirted with a potential pick-six, and Demond Claiborne added a 30-yard TD on the final play of the drive. Standouts on defense included Dallas Turner (multiple sacks) and a group of rising contributors like Caleb Banks, Eric Wilson, and Jay Ward, while Addison remained quiet. Overall, Minnesota appears to be improving on offense while maintaining strong defensive play as training camp continues.

Murray's late strike to Jefferson caps uneven Vikings-Ravens practice

Kyler Murray’s day against Baltimore’s defense was uneven, but his last snap—a left-footed, 40-yard TD to Justin Jefferson—sparked the Vikings and highlighted their big-play potential. The Ravens pressured Murray early and several passes sailed incomplete, underscoring ongoing work in pass protection and rhythm. Minnesota also pushed to improve the run game, with coaches urging more attack mode, while JJ McCarthy had a mixed showing and rookie Demond Claiborne flashed explosiveness before a fumble. Overall, the session showed both the ceiling for big plays and the work still needed to refine the offense.

Eagles Use Depth Test as Campbell Plays in Preseason Loss to Ravens

Philadelphia rested most of its starters but used the Ravens game to evaluate depth, with Jihaad Campbell the only projected 2026 starter to see time. Micah Morris started at left guard and Jake Majors played all 34 snaps at center, while Darius Cooper led the team with 21 receiving yards. On defense, Mac McWilliams struggled, Smael Mondon Jr. and Ty Robinson pressured the quarterback, and Deontae Lawson saw time on both defense and special teams. Several players remained on the injury report, and a number of linemen and rookies rotated in to assess roster spots and special-teams roles.

Lampkin Leads the Way as Eagles’ Vanilla Preseason Opener vs Ravens

In Philadelphia’s preseason opener against Baltimore, the Eagles logged 44 offensive snaps and 80 on defense. The offense looked vanilla and struggled for about 3.5 quarters, with Tanner McKee (19), Cole Payton (15), and Andy Dalton (10) sharing quarterback duties. Will Shipley led the backfield (16) with Ja’Quinden Jackson (11) and Tank Bigsby (10) also getting chances. Darius Cooper was the primary wide receiver target (2 receptions, 21 yards) while others were limited. On defense, Willie Lampkin and Markel Bell drew strong reviews, and Kelee Ringo delivered a notable interception. Lampkin earned the game ball as the top performer, with Bell and Ringo among the standout evaluative moments. The takeaway: the offense needs work, but Lampkin, Bell, and Ringo showed promising signs for roster decisions going forward.

Eagles' reshuffled offense shows growing pains in preseason debut against Ravens

Philadelphia's rebuilt offense looked far from ready in a 24-7 preseason loss to Baltimore, as backups mustered just six first downs, racked up penalties, and saw Dalton and McKee struggle to move the ball; Cole Payton provided a small bright spot with a late TD, but the ongoing safety rotation saw Marcus Epps sit while Michael Carter II started, signaling uncertainty ahead of Week 1 and a need for the joint practices with New England to bring clarity.
