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.

Ravens second-year linebacker Malik Hamm suffered a season-ending torn ACL

Baltimore Ravens second-year linebacker Malik Hamm to miss the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL

Malik Hamm was an under-the-radar candidate to lead the Ravens’ pass rush unit, but he’ll miss the remainder of this season after Baltimore placed the second-year linebacker on injured reserve with a torn ACL.

A 23-year Baltimore native, Hamm was competing for a role in the outside linebacker rotation. He made the initial 53-man roster in 2023 as an undrafted rookie from Lafayette.

Head coach John Harbaugh labeled it a clean tear.

Hamm spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve (ankle) but made his presence felt as a pass rusher this spring during OTAs and minicamps.

The team signed veteran linebacker Quincy Roche in a subsequent move before Day 8 of training camp practices.

Ravens DC Zach Orr talks about replacing Jadeveon Clowney’s production

Zach Orr says it’ll take a group effort to replaceJadeveon Clowney’s production

The Baltimore Ravens finished the season with a league-high 60 sacks in 2023. One major component to the success of the Ravens’ pass rush last season was veteran outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney. Clowney finished with 9.5 sacks, the second most on the team behind defensive tackle Justin Madubuike.

With Clowney’s departure to sign with the Carolina Panthers this offseason, Baltimore will need several players to step up this season to fill the hole on the edge. Defensive coordinator Zach Orr was asked who could make up for the production in Clowney’s absence.

“I think the production can be made by a lot of those guys,” Orr said. “[There are] a lot of candidates in that room, specifically. Obviously, you’ve got David Ojabo, and we’ve got Kyle Van Noy back, which helps out. ‘Daf’ [Odafe Oweh] – we expect him to have a big year. ‘T-Rob’ [Tavius Robinson], Malik Hamm … I mean, [there are] a lot of guys. But I don’t think the production just has to come from that room. You mentioned Travis Jones earlier. [Justin] Madubuike, Michael Pierce, ‘Broddy’ [Broderick] Washington … That whole front, the [linebackers], blitzes … I think we can make that production up in a lot of different ways.”

The Ravens did not make any significant moves at the outside linebacker position after losing Clowney; instead, they relied on the young talent on the roster. A veteran signing closer to the start of the season would not be a surprise, though, as the Ravens did the same thing last year with Clowney and Kyle Van Noy.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh discusses OLB Malik Hamm’s potential impact

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh talked about the potential of Malik Hamm amidst a possible return

The Baltimore Ravens have been known for finding undrafted free-agent gems after putting together a rookie class. Plenty of names come to mind when thinking of players who got overlooked that Baltimore has taken chances on in the past.

One player that the Ravens have high hopes for is outside linebacker Malik Hamm, who signed with Baltimore following the 2023 NFL draft. He flashed during the 2023 preseason but went on injured reserve to start the year. Hamm’s 21-day practice window has been opened, and head coach John Harbaugh said the rookie can help in multiple ways.

“I think [Malik Hamm] definitely is potentially an option. It’s [his] health and how ready he is. I think he’ll be ready. He moves well and could help us both on defense and special teams if he gets a chance. Then, with where the roster is, you have to weigh those two things.”

Hamm had 32 sacks at Lafayette and signed with the Ravens after going undrafted this year. He had four tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble in the preseason.
