My draft coverage got side tracked with an early arrival of baby brother Friday night. All is well and our family of four now is at home and filled with love 💙🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒. See you all later when training camp arrives, mama out✌️

More questions for Minter on Lamar Jackson's ankle and status for return. @jonas_shaffer asking if there is any dialogue between the parties about how to handle discussions on the injury and potential return.

Jesse Minter on Lamar Jackson's ankle for at Buffalo and also what happened over the weekend to downgrade him as OUT on Saturday. @BaltimoreLuke and @jeffzrebiec asking Minter for clarity on CBS in-game reporting on Jackson having swelling Saturday morning that caused this, and that Minter was "shocked" he couldn't play against Cincinnati.

“When the player is healthy enough to play, they’ll play,” Jesse Minter on injuries and specifically on Lamar Jackson. Said he’s “worked his butt off” a few times more today. Downplayed CBS reporting that he was “shocked” Lamar couldn’t play Sunday and reportedly had swelling in ankle Saturday. Said that was “a little bit” of a mischaracterization. Said they will know more Wednesday what his chances to play in Buffalo will be.

Minter confirmed today

W finals too! What a day. All we need are snacks

Jesse Minter and the Ravens postgame on having a team issue with momentum. Dealing with it and getting too high and too low during momentum swings. Case in point, the Bengals 35 unanswered second half points today and blowing another double-digit lead to lose 35-13 at home.

Ravens running back Derrick Henry when I asked him postgame of his confidence in his team to respond after a loss like today against Cincinnati.

What is the Ravens biggest issue that keeps coming up in losses like today?

Calais Campbell said it was like “quick sand” on what happened today, especially the second half. Used Minter’s tale of two halves line again. Said they can play better defense than they did the second half. “We have to.”

No update postgame from Jesse Minter on Vega Ioane’s knee. Also nothing on Lamar Jackson’s chances for next week.

“A tale of two halves,” Jesse Minter on this game and really this team.

“A big point in the season for us to determine who we want to be,” Jesse Minter postgame.

“Right now we’re too much of a momentum team.” Jesse Minter post game. Said ride highs and lows too much.

Too soon to say the Ravens head to Buffalo next and the Bills are on a bye…

Allowed 35 unanswered second half points. Blown out at home. 17th blown double digit lead (in last 6 seasons). Worst start to AFC North play at 0-2 since 2007 for the Ravens. No Lamar Jackson is always not great, but this was bad. Historically.

😱

Joe Flacco sighting in garbage time. Ravens defense allowed 5 straight Cincinnati drives to be touchdowns. Punted at the end, only 3 and out with the game out of reach.
