Ravens Strengthen Defense and Bateman Emerges

The Baltimore Ravens have been active with player workouts, recently hosting specialists Colton Spangler, Tucker Addington, and Peter Bowden. Addington, who has had a tumultuous career since going undrafted in 2020, has had multiple stints with various teams, including the Commanders and Patriots, but was released this offseason. Wide receiver Rashod Bateman, under pressure to perform in his fourth NFL season, has shown signs of a breakout, recording 13 catches for 202 yards and two touchdowns through the first five games, with impressive metrics in route separation. The Ravens have also seen contributions from other players, including a strong pass rush led by Kyle Van Noy, and Justice Hill as a reliable option in the passing game. After starting the season 0-2, the Ravens have bounced back with three consecutive wins, showcasing the performance of both established stars and emerging players.
