COACH HARBAUGH SAYS ON THE RAVENS AT THIS STAGE OF PRESEASON & TRAINING CAMP:
“The vision and what you become as a football team is a product of the people who do it and what they do and what happens every day – the challenges you have, the obstacles you have to overcome, and how you approach those things. If you’re willing to keep fighting, and keep getting back up and never quit, then the fight’s not over until you say it is, no matter what happens. That’s a big statement, but [training] camp is a little bit like that. You have to keep coming back every day, come out and grind and try to become better – become a better player and a better team every day. Our guys are doing that."

PRESEASON QUICK HITS / 2023 RECAP ✗ The Baltimore Ravens host the Atlanta Falcons at M&T Bank
Stadium on Saturday (12 p.m. kickoff), marking each team's second preseason game. The Ravens are 71-35 in all-time preseason play, posting a 44-15 mark under head coach John Harbaugh, who is in his 17th season at the helm in Baltimore.
INJURY UPDATE
✗ Producing the NFL's best regular season record (13-4) in 2023,
First-round pick CB Nate Wiggins (shoulder) was injured in last Friday's preseason game, while veteran CB Arthur Maulet (knee) was injured in practice and will likely miss the beginning of the regular season. Second-year OLB Malik Hamm (knee) sustained a seasonending injury July 29. Standout second-year RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) is on PUP, as he continues to rehab a 2023 Week 15 injury.
the AFC North Champion Ravens earned a No. 1 playoff seed. After beating the Houston Texans, 34-10, in the Divisional Round, the Ravens fell, 17-10, at home in the AFC Championship to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs.
✗ Under Harbaugh, Baltimore (11) is one of four teams (GB - 12, NE - 12 & KC - 11) to earn a playoff berth in at least 11 of the past 16 seasons (2008-23). Baltimore (five) is also one of four teams (KC - 6, Buf. - 5 & Phi. - 5) to make the playoffs in at least five of the past six seasons (2018-23).
NOTE THE QUOTE FORMER RAVEN & NFL QB ROBERT GRIFFIN III ON JOHN HARBAUGH:
”John Harbaugh is the best coach I ever played for in the NFL. He always has his player’s back, sets the tone every day so you know what is expected and breeds an environment of toughness that gives his teams an identity."
✗ In 2023, the Ravens tallied an NFL-record 10 victories vs. teams that finished with a winning record, and they posted six wins vs. playoff teams. Baltimore also ranked No. 1 in the NFL in both point differential (+203) and turnover margin (+12, tied w/ NYG).
CHART CHATTER
✗ In 2023, the Ravens became the first team in league history to
finish a season ranking No. 1 in each points allowed (16.5 ppg), sacks (60) and takeaways (31, tied w/ NYG).
✗ Led by QB Lamar Jackson, who was voted the 2023 AP NFL MVP for the second time (also 2019) in his career, Baltimore ranked No. 4 in scoring (28.4 ppg) and No. 6 in total yards (370.4), averaging a NFL-high 156.5 rushing yards per game.
