Baltimore started training camp earlier than everyone else in the league this season, with veterans reporting one week from today on July 20.
The Ravens don’t have the earliest veteran reporting date, however. That honor belongs to the Houston Texans, who will report to commence camp on July 17.
The Chicago Bears are next, with their veterans reporting two days later on July 19. The Texans and Bears will face each other in the first preseason contest 2024, the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, on August 1st.
