Ravens CB Jalyn Armour-Davis returns to practice after missing four games

The Ravens are getting healthier.

Just moments after opening the practice window for running back Keaton Mitchell, the team announced that cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis was returning to practice.

Armour-Davis missed four games after being placed on injured reserve on September 28.

Armour-Davis suffered a hamstring injury in Baltimore’s win over the Dallas Cowboys. The 2022 fourth-round pick has played just 15 games and 93 defensive snaps during two seasons with the team.

Andrew Vorhees (ankle) is doubtful for Week 4 vs. Buffalo Bills after missing practice all week.

The Ravens held their final practice of the week, and the team announced that left guard Andrew Vorhees, who has an ankle injury, is doubtful for the matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Star center Tyler Linderbaum is questionable and will be a game-time decision.

Patrick Mekari, Ben Cleveland, or Josh Jones are all viable options to replace Vorhees in the lineup. On defense, cornerback Jayln Armour-Davis has been ruled out, and Baltimore will be without its top reserve cornerback.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott has officially ruled out slot cornerback Taron Johnson (forearm) and linebacker Terrel Bernard (pec) for Sunday night’s game in Baltimore.

Eric DeCosta confirms teams attempted to acquire talent from Ravens secondary

Eric DeCosta confirms teams attempted to acquire talent from Ravens secondary

The Ravens have one of the NFL’s deepest secondaries after drafting Nate Wiggins and T.J. Tampa and signing Eddie Jackson before training camp. With such depth, teams around the league are looking for a trade partner.

Baltimore GM Eric DeCosta said he received calls around cutdown day with teams interested in Baltimore’s secondary depth. DeCosta says he declined all deals, wanting to maintain extra bodies in an area where the team has struggled to keep players healthy.

“We’re strong in the secondary and we stayed strong,” DeCosta said.

The Ravens kept 11 defensive backs on the roster, with projected starting corners Marlon Humphrey and Brandon Stephens backed by first-round rookie Nate Wiggins, rookie fourth-round pick T.J. Tampa, and returning players Jalyn Armour-Davis and Ar’Darius Washington. Veteran slot corner Arthur Maulet is starting on injured reserve after having an arthroscopic knee injury, but he’s eligible to return after Week 4.

At safety, the Ravens have starters Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams, with veteran Eddie Jackson and rookies Sanoussi Kane and Beau Brade behind them.

We’re looking at the top photos from the Baltimore Ravens preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field

It’s only the preseason, but the Ravens will head towards the 53-man roster cutdown date with a sour taste after a 30-7 loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field on Saturday afternoon. Josh Johnson was 5-7 for 71 yards and one passing touchdown, while Michael Pratt led Green Bay in passing, going 8-12 for 80 yards and one touchdown. The Packers were dominant on the ground, amassing 193 rushing yards, as Ellis Merriweather led all ball carriers with 16 yards for 74 yards. The Packers held the ball for nearly ten minutes longer than the Ravens and out-gained Baltimore by 326 yards to 177 for John Harbaugh’s bunch. With Baltimore now turning its attention toward the Chiefs, here’s an instant analysis of the loss. ***

Backup quarterback Josh Johnson was perfect on the afternoon, and rookie Emory Jones added a 56-yard touchdown throw to Dayton Wade in the second half to lift the Baltimore Ravens to a 13-12 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium.  The Ravens snapped a three-game preseason losing streak, while Atlanta had 343 yards of total offense but was 4-13 on third downs. Baltimore had another putrid day on the ground, rushing for 71 yards on 30 attempts.  With the team set to start preparation for the preseason finale, here are the top photos from the win over Atlanta. ***

The Ravens returned to the field for live game action for the first time since their heartbreaking, 17-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game.

Baltimore hosted Philadelphia at M&T Bank Stadium, with both teams on similar arcs, and championship paths. Starting quarterback Lamar Jackson sat out along with key starters on both sides of the football.

Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made a 49-yard field goal with no time remaining to give the Philadelphia Eagles a 16-13 victory after Baltimore quarterback Emory Jones — who had just entered the game — was sacked and fumbled on the next play.

The recovery by Patrick Johnson gave Elliott his final opportunity of the night.

NFL Preseason Week 1: Can the Ravens defend the Eagles passing game?

Baltimore Ravens rookie Nate Wiggins will tested by Philadelphia Eagles WR’s Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith in their upcoming exhibition game.

The Baltimore Ravens intentionally drafted to replenish their depth chart at the defensive back position earlier this spring. They’ll get a chance to see the implications of the 2024 NFL draft when they face the Philadelphia Eagles in their preseason opener tonight.

Ravens’ rookie Nate Wiggins will tested by Eagles’ rookie wide receivers, including Johnny Wilson and former Texas A&M speedster Ainias Smith. Earlier this spring, I suggested that the Ravens draft Smith because his upside makes him an asset in special teams even if he does not make the frequent rotation needed in the 11-man personnel on offense. Nevertheless, Wilson’s game is a little different from Smith’s. Standing six feet six inches tall, Wilson creates an offensive nightmare for defensive backs, and with Ravens’ rookie wide receiver Devontez Walker already terrorizing Wiggins at practice, Wilson may excel in week 1 of the NFL preseason.

For the Ravens, not much of an update has surfaced on Iowa State draftee defensive back T.J Tampa. Consequently, Ravens’ fans may see heavy playing time given to defensive back Jalyn Armour-Davis and 22-year-old safety Sanoussi Kane in the preseason debut.

Ultimately, it is presumptuous to assume the Ravens will be the same defensive powerhouse they were a season ago with zero evidence. In the preseason, veteran safety Eddie Jackson and defensive back Brandon Stephens may see extra reps to assist the second-string players with adjusting to the tenacity at the NFL level.

John Harbaugh says it’s a big year for cornerbacks Jalyn Armour-Davis, Damarion Williams

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said it’s a big year for cornerbacks Jalyn Armour-Davis and Pepe Williams

The Baltimore Ravens have a massive amount of talent in their secondary. They recently signed safety Eddie Jackson to pair up with Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams, but their cornerback room also looks to be one of the deepest in the NFL.

Marlon Humphrey, Brandon Stephens, and Nate Wiggins headline Baltimore’s cornerbacks, but a few players fighting for roster spots are Jalyn Armour-Davis and Pepe Williams. The 2022 fourth-round picks will need an impressive training camp and preseason to show what they can do, and head coach John Harbaugh called it a “big year” for both players.

“Yes. It’s a big year for both of those guys. ‘Pepe’ [Damarion Williams] and Jalyn [Armour-Davis], and they’re both practicing so well right now, that’s the thing. I’m excited. [The] first three days in, they’ve both been excellent. Jalyn has made numerous plays on the ball, ‘Pepe’ hasn’t had those chances, but he’s been in the right spots all the time, moving well. ‘Pepe’ is finally healthy. Jalyn is finally healthy. We’ll see what they can do, but I’m very confident that they’re going to do well.”

Both Armour-Davis and Williams have immense potential but haven’t been able to stay healthy and on the field in their first two seasons. The pair could be fighting for only one roster spot, so the competition is expected to remain hot and fresh over the next few weeks.
