New Ravens safety Alohi Gilman said Maryland has a special place in his heart from the time he spent at the Naval Academy.
Here's his roster pic from when he was a Midshipman:

Giana Han @giana-jade.bsky.social · 18h

Alohi Gilman said with a grin that he remembers a freshman Kyle Hamilton, having a hard time, wanting to quit football.

“I had to keep him in shape. And now he’s an All-Pro.”

A lot of maneuvering by the Ravens front office yesterday.

Who came out as the winners and losers? From Jonas Shaffer:

For as long as there have been the Ravens, there has been Captain Dee-Fense.

Larry "Wes" Henson embodied the Ravens’ on- and off-the-field character with his superfan persona, Captain Dee-Fense.

"You've seen him play, so everybody kind of knows what his game is," John Harbaugh said of Cooper Rush.

Rush had many INTs in training camp and preseason. He's had three today against the Texans.

Jaire Alexander just tried to steal the ball from Texans WR Jaylin Noel, who retrieved it from an official after he celebrated his first career TD.

A shoving match ensued. Noel ended up with the ball.

RB Derrick Henry has averaged 5.64 yards per carry against the Houston Texans in his career. He only has a higher average against three other teams.

He's averaging 1.8 yards per carry against the Texans today, but he just scored the team's first TD of the day.

With the Ravens down 31-3 to the Texans with 9:24 left in the third quarter, the "Fire Harbaugh" chants have started in M&T Bank Stadium.

Ravens fans are sending the team off at halftime with a chorus of boos.

Giana Han @giana-jade.bsky.social · 3d

Ravens opponents have scored a TD or kicked a FG on 29/46 possessions this season.

Take out the Browns game, the Ravens one win, and Ravens opponents have scored / attempted a FG on 26/34 possessions. That's 77%.

Giana Han @giana-jade.bsky.social · 3d

Lots of cheering in M&T Bank Stadium as RB Keaton Mitchell gets his first carry of the season, a rush for six yards. The UDFA RB is a fan favorite despite his injury riddled career.

Giana Han @giana-jade.bsky.social · 3d

Ravens captains for today are C Tyler Linderbaum, CB TJ Tampa Jr. and OLB Odafe Oweh.

Both Linderbaum (calf) and Oweh (eye) were injured during practice this week.

Giana Han @giana-jade.bsky.social · 3d

The Ravens announced their starting defense, one full of rookies and depth players.

Veteran OLB Kyle Van Noy, one of the few remaining starters, got the loudest cheer by the ear test.

Giana Han @giana-jade.bsky.social · 5d

Rookie LB Teddye Buchanan said it's not set that he'll wear the 🟢 dot, but he's one of the ones who practiced with it.

Rookie S Malaki Starks has not practiced with it, but he said they've also broached the idea of him wearing it.

DC Zach Orr said they have different options.

Ravens got back:
WR Devontez Walker
CB Nate Wiggins
LT Ronnie Stanley

Still missing:
QB Lamar Jackson
FB Patrick Ricard
LB Roquan Smith
CBs Chidobe Awuzie and Marlon Humphrey

New absence:
S Kyle Hamilton

Ravens’ Lamar Jackson missing again at practice; Kyle Hamilton also sidelined

Hamilton, who played every defensive snap Sunday in the Ravens’ blowout loss Sunday to the Kansas City Chiefs, was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice because of a groin injury.

The Ravens locker room was quiet, somber and lacking leaders — and answers.

Decimated Ravens locker room left looking for answers

“I don’t think nothing was clicking for us today,” wide receiver Rashod Bateman said. “It’s been a tough past couple of weeks.”

How embarrassing, the 1-2 Chiefs cleared the bench against a team that many (including myself) thought had Super Bowl potential. Soon-to-be 2-2 Chiefs.

Giana Han @giana-jade.bsky.social · 10d

The Chiefs go-ahead TD was on the offense ... and the defense ... and special teams. Really, a whole-team failure.

Giana Han @giana-jade.bsky.social · 10d

Three of the Chiefs four completions come against CB Marlon Humphrey. Two are with Xavier Worthy, their fastest WR. They also have another 1D through a Humphrey penalty.

Giana Han @giana-jade.bsky.social · 10d

OLB Odafe Oweh made the tackle on the first Chiefs run. He bulked up this offseason in an effort to become a more powerful rusher and a better run defender. But he hasn't had a ton of opportunity before this game:

No run defense means Odafe Oweh’s on the bench

“If you don’t stop the run, you can’t have fun is a saying we have,” Oweh said.

Giana Han @giana-jade.bsky.social · 12d

Odafe Oweh has been used primarily in pass rush situations... but with the Ravens struggling against the run, that means he hasn't gotten many opportunities.

"If you don't stop the run, you can't have fun."

The Ravens saw the return of DL Travis Jones but are still missing:

DL Nnamdi Madubuike
DL Broderick Washington
OLB Kyle Van Noy
LT Ronnie Stanley
FB Patrick Ricard

Giana Han @giana-jade.bsky.social · 14d

“It hurts having both of them out, but next man up. This is an opportunity for a lot of guys to make plays, and I think we’re up to the task,” Odafe Oweh said as the team tries to stay hopeful despite the missing pieces up front.

Ravens missing 3 defensive line starters at Wednesday practice

Ravens coach John Harbaugh declined to go into detail about the extent of Nnamdi Madubuike’s injury but already ruled him out for Sunday.
