“Being the first is really cool because you really get to set the stage for people, future teams to come on board,” said Simon Gelan, the Ravens' senior vice president of operations.

The NFL is trying to grow the game globally, and putting Lamar Jackson in Brazil might just help the Ravens resonate there due to his style of play.

Although the NFL identifies Brazil, with the world’s seventh-largest population, as an emerging market, American football is more of a fasciation than a passion and fans there yearn for better access.

NFL field director Nick Pappas said the league has “plenty of work to do” to prepare the grass field at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanã Stadium for the Ravens’ game Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, adding, “I have faith that it’ll all get done.”

Minter also called this a “Week 1 decision, not a permanent decision,” leaving the door open for Ethan Pocic in the future.

When veteran safety Jaylinn Hawkins signed with the Ravens to a two-year contract, he knew the team checked all his boxes.

Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta is “pretty confident” Pro Bowl defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike will suit up within the next four games.

Isaac was the Ravens’ 2024 third-round pick from Penn State.

Players chasing NFL dreams will have one last chance to earn a spot.

Oweh grew frustrated with a Ravens scheme he felt was holding him back.
