Ravens ramp up physicality at hot, chippy day of training camp

Owings Mills, Maryland – July 29: On July 29, 2026, the Baltimore Ravens held a scorching training camp practice at their Under Armour Performance Center Baltimore Ravens facility in Owings Mills, Maryland. The oppressive heat and humidity at The Castle elevated the intensity of the session, which marked the team’s third padded practice in just four days.

Amidst the rising temperature, several players and coaches let their tempers flare during the physically charged afternoon drills. Tight end Mark Andrews and edge rusher Trey Hendrickson clashed after a particularly aggressive blocking encounter, while center Ethan Pocic and linebacker Reid Williford exchanged heated words in a rare confrontation between a veteran and a rookie.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson also let out a frustrated spike as he struggled with the tough offensive sequences. The most notable altercation came from edge rusher Tavius Robinson, who engaged in a post-play scrum with offensive linemen Carson Vinson and John Simpson. Referees swiftly intervened to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, but the coach praised the environment for fostering a competitive spirit among the players.

Head coach Jesse Minter, who had previously expressed his dislike for physical altercations at practice, explained that the day's objective was to push the players to their limits with long, physically demanding drives. Despite the intense practice lasting longer than two hours for the first time this summer, Minter indicated that no major injuries were sustained.

The coaching staff also joined in the fun, with the defensive backs taking turns tackling various assistant coaches – a humorous spectacle that left the coaches sore the following day.
