The top storylines facing the Baltimore Ravens are starting to move from what the offseason might hold to what the team is actually doing on the practice fields. As the Ravens prepare to open up training camp at the end of the month, the attention will be on each position battle, every roster move and every standout performance for a team that has its eyes set on a Super Bowl title.<\/p>\n
From Lamar Jackson’s pursuit of a championship<\/a> to several young players looking to earn larger roles, Baltimore enters camp with no shortage of questions that could shape the 2026 season.<\/p>\n One of the top storylines entering training camp centers on Baltimore’s new coaching staff. With an offseason filled with changes, including rumors about DeAndre Hopkins,<\/a>, the Ravens are going to look to two new first-year coordinators to stay on track of this Super Bowl caliber roster. New Ravens head coach Jesse Minter<\/a> is expected to bring back the consistency that was revealed through injuries when the depth and red-zone defense faltered a year ago.<\/p>\n Declan Doyle takes over one of the highest pressure jobs<\/a> in the league, expected to make the passing offense grow as well as to help a two-time MVP in Jackson continue to become a better, more complete passer. Both of these new coordinators, and how quickly they find their own rhythm, are likely to be critical in how the Ravens perform this year in the race for the Lombardi Trophy.<\/p>\n Baltimore has one of the worst red zone<\/a> touchdown percentages in the NFL and how they plan to address it is easily one of their top storylines heading into training camp. The Ravens’ red-zone offense took one of the league’s biggest steps backward in 2025. After converting 73.97% of its red-zone trips into touchdowns in 2024, the Ravens fell to just 47.46% in 2025, tying for 27th in the NFL with the New York Giants. By comparison, league-leading Philadelphia scored touchdowns on 70.21% of its red-zone possessions, highlighting just how costly Baltimore’s struggles became inside the 20-yard line.<\/p>\n The addition of Elijah Sarratt in the fourth round of the NFL Draft<\/a> could be a big difference maker for Baltimore. One of the more lethal red zone threats in college football<\/a>, Sarratt\u2019s addition should continue to add depth to an already strong receiver group that will pit him against Rashod Bateman and other targets for reps. If he can develop chemistry with Jackson early on, their pass offense might become unstoppable when they get inside the red zone.<\/p>\n Another one of the top storylines entering camp is how fast the Ravens\u2019 retooled offensive line jells together. Baltimore made an array of changes to the interior of its offensive line in the offseason with the goal of adding talent and depth both at the starting level and beyond. Baltimore signed veteran guard John Simpson to a three-year deal worth $30 million, which will inject some much needed experience and stability.<\/p>\n They also reunited Jovaughn Gwyn with offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford, giving them another depth piece at the guard position, while Danny Pinter will serve as backup center and guard.<\/p>\n3 Top Storylines to Watch Heading Into Baltimore Ravens Training Camp<\/h2>\n
