Kyle Hamilton and Jaylinn Hawkins Return to Ravens Practice Ahead of Chargers Game
Kyle Hamilton and Jaylinn Hawkins were back on the field Wednesday as the Ravens prepared for Monday night’s home game against the Los Angeles Chargers. For Hamilton, it was a first look at how his return might progress after a hip injury ended his night against Jacksonville. For Hawkins, it was his first practice since October 21st.
The two safeties had been missing on different timelines. Hamilton left last Thursday’s loss to the Jaguars and never returned. Hawkins had played 81 percent of Baltimore’s defensive snaps over its first six games before a knee injury interrupted his season. On Monday, coach Jesse Minter expressed optimism that Hawkins could rejoin practice. By Wednesday, the Ravens could see both safeties on the field together again.
Cornerback Nate Wiggins also took the field after an illness kept him out against Jacksonville. According to the Ravens’ practice report, all 50 players then on the active roster were present for the start of Wednesday’s session. That observation leaves two questions for later in the week: how much work each defender can handle and who will dress on game night.
A First Practice for Two New Ravens
On offense, quarterback Jacoby Brissett wore No. 11 at his first Baltimore practice, and offensive lineman Ryan Neuzil wore No. 58 after arriving from Atlanta. Both joined a team trying to end a four-game losing streak. Baltimore scored fewer than 14 points in each of those losses. Wednesday offered a first look at the new personnel ahead of the Chargers game. PowerPage’s trade deadline recap has more on the deal for Neuzil.
