The Baltimore Ravens’ offseason program hits another phase this week with the start of organized team activities. Over the next three weeks, first-year coach Jesse Minter will conduct up to 10 practices leading into the Ravens’ mandatory minicamp on June 9.These workouts are voluntary, and contact isn’t allowed, but the practices can graduate to 7-on-7 and full-team drills. It will give Minter and general manager Eric DeCosta their best look yet at the team’s mix of returning players and veteran and rookie newcomers. With one “open” practice per week, the OTAs will also provide reporters with their first opportunity to watch a full-team practice this offseason.Who will and won’t be practicing? What will a Minter-led OTA practice look like? Who will be getting the first-team reps at the Ravens’ unsettled positions? How will the team’s 29-man rookie class fare while on the field with the veterans for the first time? What will some of the team’s more established players, who haven’t spoken to reporters since the end of last season, have to say about an offseason of change in the organization?Tuesday, the first “open” practice, should start bringing answers. These are the storylines to follow during three weeks of Ravens OTAs.Taking attendanceA handful of players stayed away from the Under Armour Performance Center during voluntary workouts in recent years. Ex-Ravens coach John Harbaugh was consistent in saying that his focus was on the players who were there and he was fine with certain veterans not taking part in OTAs because the practice repetitions were more valuable to younger players anyway.However, the circumstances are different under Minter. The new coaching staff has made scheme changes in all three phases, and this is valuable time for veterans to continue their acclimation. Players will want to show their buy-in and get off on the right foot in building relationships with the new staff.OTA attendance is typically overblown, but it feels much more notable this year for a Ravens team coming off one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history and with a decidedly new look in 2026.Assessing the team’s healthMinter has declined to discuss injuries to this point, saying earlier this offseason that he’ll know more about certain health situations as the team works its way through the workout program. Some Ravens, including wide receiver Zay Flowers and cornerback Nate Wiggins, had offseason surgeries.Other key Ravens ended last season on injured reserve, including running back Justice Hill, inside linebacker Teddye Buchanan, and defensive linemen Nnamdi Madubuike and Broderick Washington. Madubuike, a two-time Pro Bowl selection who missed nearly all of last season with a neck injury, had surgery before the draft last month. Team officials continue to stonewall questions about Madubuike’s status, but it will be interesting to see if he’s around the team and whether Minter has any updates on him or any other Ravens coming off injuries.Taking stock of Lamar JacksonDeCosta and Minter have been highly complimentary of Jackson’s engagement level this offseason. He’s been a regular at the Under Armour Performance Center for the offseason workout program, which hasn’t always been the case. By all accounts, Jackson is pleased with the new energy around the team and with the offense’s potential under Declan Doyle.The Ravens are in the early stages of installing and absorbing the new offense, and it will probably be a while before you can make any conclusions about what it will look like. However, just a glimpse of Jackson operating in a new system and working with Baltimore’s two rookie wide receivers and two rookie tight ends should be enough to imagine the possibilities.Jackson also hasn’t fielded questions from reporters since about 30 minutes after the team’s 2025 season-ending loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. What is his reaction to Harbaugh’s firing? How is his relationship with Minter and Doyle? Is there any update on his contract situation? There is a lot of ground to cover.Looking at the center competitionTeam officials have talked up their internal center options in recent months, but it isn’t clear who they view as the frontrunner to start at the position and become Tyler Linderbaum’s successor.If experience is the biggest factor, Danny Pinter will be working with the starters. Pinter has made 10 career starts. The other perceived options are Corey Bullock, a third-year undrafted free agent, and Jovaughn Gwyn, a 2023 Atlanta Falcons seventh-round pick. Neither has started an NFL game.The Ravens wanted to come out of the draft with a starting center, but the two prospects they saw as potential plug-and-play guys, Iowa’s Logan Jones and Florida’s Jake Slaughter, were selected well before Baltimore was on the clock in the third round. DeCosta acknowledged after the draft that there could be trade options that the Ravens could explore. It’s very possible — if not probable — that Baltimore’s starting center in 2026 isn’t currently on the roster. But this week should at least reveal the leader in the clubhouse.Sizing up the rookie classThe Ravens typically had their rookies earn their way up the depth chart under Harbaugh. That wasn’t the case for everybody, but a good number of first-round picks didn’t immediately begin practices as undisputed starters. The Ravens drafted Penn State guard Vega Ioane at No. 14 with the idea that he was ready to step in and start right away.It’s always hard to evaluate offensive linemen before the pads go on and there is legitimate contact. Still, these are important workouts for Ioane, particularly if the team wants him to transition to right guard, which he didn’t play a ton of at Penn State.The Ravens also need drafted wide receivers Ja’Kobi Lane and Elijah Surratt, tight ends Matt Hibner and Josh Cuevas, and outside linebacker Zion Young to look the part. There has been plenty of talk about the Ravens potentially looking for veteran free agents at wide receiver, tight end and outside linebacker, but they want to give their rookies and young players every opportunity to show that reinforcements are unnecessary.Getting a feel for Minter, the head coachThe time to set the tone for a first-year head coach is probably early in training camp, not in voluntary workouts in mid-May. However, this is a restart for the organization, and everything is new for Minter, who hasn’t been a full-time head coach at any level.Minter worked and learned under both Harbaugh brothers, so it feels unlikely that there will be drastic changes to how the team practices and approaches certain things. But he’s surely putting his own imprint on the team, and changes will probably be evident this week.The Ravens also brought back only a few coaches from Harbaugh’s staff, so everything from how Minter runs practice to the kind of drills the team does to how the staff communicates with players will be worth monitoring.
