Ravens vs. Eagles discussion: Vega Ioane, Ja’Kobi Lane make NFL debuts

OWINGS MILLS, Maryland - On July 29, 2026, the Baltimore Ravens began their preseason preparation against the Philadelphia Eagles at M&T Bank Stadium. Head Coach Jesse Minter made his head coaching debut, working alongside offensive coordinator Declan Doyle for the second time in his career. The spotlight will be on the Ravens' rookie trio: guard Vega Ioane, edge rusher Zion Young, and wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane.

While Ioane and Young have been restricted by training camp rules, Lane has been a consistent standout in practice, often catching passes thrown by quarterback Lamar Jackson. The secondary is also undergoing evaluation, with multiple cornerbacks vying for roster spots. The Ravens' center position will also be scrutinized, with four candidates - Danny Pinter, Ethan Pocic, Corey Bullock, and JoVaughn Gwyn - competing for the starting role ahead of the regular season. The Ravens' preseason action is set to return after an extended break.
