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.

Waller, a former Ravens sixth-round pick who also played for the Giants and briefly retired in 2024, would join a Panthers group with varied skill sets; the deal isn’t official yet and a corresponding roster move is expected on Thursday.

Waller Signs One-Year Deal to Bolster Panthers' Tight End Room

Former Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller agreed to a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers, adding veteran pass-catching to a revamped offense, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Waller had 283 yards and six TDs in nine games for the Dolphins in 2025 after injury troubles, with a career peak of 1,000+ receiving yards in 2019-2020 with the Raiders. He’ll compete with Tommy Tremble for snaps on a Panthers depth chart that includes Tetairoa McMillan and Metchie III; the addition comes as Carolina, 8-9 last season, looks to continue growth under Bryce Young.
