Baltimore Ravens put on a show for fans during practice at M&T Bank Stadium
Baltimore Ravens rookie Tyler Loop got his first chance on Sunday to kick in his home stadium in front of his home crowd. The sixth-round draft pick out of Arizona blasted a 56-yard and a 60-yard field goal, and had a little fun with the fans, during the Ravens' open practice at M&T Bank Stadium. "It's a beautiful stadium, beautiful environment, I love the purple," said Loop, who is expected to succeed Justin Tucker, who was released in May. "The fans are great. it's such a passionate city for football. it's really a big blessing to be a part of it." The open stadium practice provided the rookies and newcomers a chance to get an early vibe of the Ravens' faithful, who flocked in thousands to the stadium. The fans, especially those who couldn't get a ticket for the limited-occupancy practice at the Under Armour Performance Center, got to check out the new additions, including wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and cornerback Jaire Alexander. "It's a good group. They showed a lot of love," Alexander said. "I'm new here, so I appreciate the love that they showed. They are a rowdy bunch, and I love it. It's going to be even better." Of course, the returning stars, Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, Roquan Smith, and Kyle Hamilton, were front and center for fans to see. Ravens' head coach John Harbaugh, who has 172 wins in 17 seasons in Baltimore, told his younger players to embrace the passionate Baltimore fans. "I was telling the young guys, this is the chance to get connected to Baltimore fans, to Raven Nation, the Flock, to feel how enthusiastic they were," Harbaugh said. Sunday's stadium practice was the start of a busy football week for the Ravens. The Indianapolis Colts will visit Owings Mills, Maryland, on Tuesday for a joint practice with the Ravens. The teams kick off their preseason schedule against each other on Thursday at M&T Bank Stadium. "We have quite a week," Harbaugh said. "We had this (stadium practice), Tuesday the Colts will be at our practice facility, and Thursday night, we will be playing our first preseason game. That's quite a week in front of us." Harbaugh said the majority of the starters and key players will get most of their work during the joint practice, and won't be available for the game. "I'm looking forward to joint practice," Alexander said. "I'm tired of seeing our offense. I'm tired of seeing Lamar, Zay, and everybody running everywhere." The Baltimore Ravens, winners of the AFC North last year, have high expectations in 2025. They open the season on Sunday Night Football on Sept. 7 at Buffalo, where they lost 27-25 in the AFC Divisional round last season. The Ravens' home opener is on Sept. 14 against the Cleveland Browns. "I was talking to the veterans, and walking into the locker room is different," Harbaugh said. "A game locker room is different than a practice locker room. We've had victories in there, a lot of them. We've had some disappointments too. There's something different about walking into that locker room."

Jimmy Horn Jr. turning heads at Panthers training camp with his speed and toughness
Colorado football currently has four receivers on NFL training camp rosters who were on the team last season. Other than the Jaguars' Travis Hunter, the standout has been Carolina Panthers rookie Jimmy Horn Jr. Horn was a sixth-round pick by the Panthers in the 2025 NFL draft, but after a fantastic offseason, he is looking like a steal of the draft. With his speed and toughness, Horn is everything a team would want out of a sixth-round receiver. In a recent mock scrimmage at Bank of America Stadium, Horn impressed once again, scoring the first touchdown for the second team offense. Horn was in motion before the snap and then snuck underneath, and quarterback Andy Dalton found him for an easy walk into the endzone. While it was not a typical go-ball that the speedy Horn should see plenty of this season, it was a play that Colorado ran a ton with Horn. Get him the ball in space and let his open-field ability do the rest. Panthers head coach Dave Canales has loved what he has seen from the rookie receiver so far. "I think it's the energy he plays with," said Canales to "He doesn't quit on routes, he continues after the normal part of the protection he can count on, he continues to find space and play fast, and, it's a credit to his fitness, but it's also a credit to just the energy that he puts out there, that you want to throw to him." While sixth-round picks are far from guaranteed to make the final 53-man roster, Horn's performances through the offseason have made it almost a forgone conclusion that he makes Carolina's final group. The Panthers and Shedeur Sanders, Cleveland Browns, will have joint practices this week before each team's first preseason game on Friday, Aug. 8. Follow Charlie Strella on X, Threads and Instagram.
