It's 3 am and #Ravens OC Declan Doyle is tapping away on his phone. He still has a 60-page binder he once sent every coach & GM. He's a long way from lining up mini helmets and drawing make-believe plays. "He's a flat-out stud." My deep dive (gift link) baltimoresun.com/2026/08/28/…

Ravens play-caller Declan Doyle is drawing up answers, even at 3 a.m.

New Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle can rarely turn his brain off. It’s part of why he’s in Baltimore despite being just 30 years old.

The Chiefs are signing K Justin Tucker to their practice squad, sources tell @TheAthletic. Tucker, who hasn’t kicked since 2024 after allegations of sexual misbehavior in massages, joins KC amid starter Harrison Butker’s struggles. Story to come.

In a corresponding move they released RB Jonathan Ward from the PS. They also worked out G C.J. Hanson and C Michael Niese, along with Jordan, who gives them more depth for the IOL with Vega Ioane expected to miss at least some time

Questions about Lamar Jackson have become a weekly exercise in uncertainty for the Ravens. A lack of clarity also reinforces the ambiguity surrounding his recovery — and the extent to which Baltimore’s season has come to hinge on the health of the QB’s left ankle.

Lamar Jackson's injury status dominated Jesse Minter's Monday news conference. He also declined to discuss a CBS report about the ankle swelling and when asked if the team being shocked the QB couldn't play was a mischaracterization, said it was. Story on that & more: baltimoresun.com/2026/10/26/…

Minter in run game struggles: Don’t know that there’s a common denominator. It’s a constant search for scheme, plays, and figure out what you’re really good at it.

Minter on second half/late game effort level: I think everybody would say the product is not something we’re proud of. You could take that a bunch of different ways. “Do the guys try hard? Yeah the guys try hard.”

Minter on secondary: You could look at every play and say it’s something different every play.

Jesse Minter on Lamar: I think he’s in a decent spot. We’ll know more later this week. Declined to comment on CBS report that Lamar woke up with a swollen ankle Saturday. Said it’s a little bit of a mischaracterization that they were shocked he couldn’t play.

4/4 There were a lot more, of course. Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey were brutal. Even Kyle Hamilton was terrible. OL and the QB were not good of course, either. These were all from the second half
