It is finally game day. After more than seven months away from the field, the Baltimore Ravens are set to kick off their 2026 preseason against the Philadelphia Eagles tonight at M&T Bank Stadium.
Jesse Minter is making his head coaching debut with offensive coordinator Declan Doyle up in the booth calling plays for just the second time in his career. All eyes will be on the Ravens’ rookie class, especially their first three draft picks: guard Vega Ioane, edge rusher Zion Young, and wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane. The first two have been limited by training camp rules of engagement, but they will get a chance to show their physicality tonight. Lane, meanwhile, has been a daily highlight reel with a series of spectacular catches at practice, typically thrown by Lamar Jackson.
Elsewhere on the roster, a deep group of young cornerbacks are jockeying for a roster spot, and Baltimore’s secondary pass-catchers will be looking to carve out roles in Doyle’s offense. The Ravens will also be evaluating their center options – Danny Pinter, Ethan Pocic, Corey Bullock, and JoVaughn Gwyn – to pick a starter before Week 1.
