Baltimore Ravens have roster decisions to make after preseason finale this weekend
The Baltimore Ravens have some big decisions to make after they travel to the Washington Commanders on Saturday in the preseason finale. The rosters must soon be finalized. Plus, the players who are released can still be signed to the practice squad. "It's finalizing the roster, as far as who's on it, for sure," Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said. "A lot of things are determined." Most of the Ravens' starting positions are locked in, and most of the key players won't play on Saturday. However, backups and special team players could still be decided. Or, the players in the preseason finale could be showcasing their play for other teams. "We certainly want to stay healthy," Harbaugh said. "That's a big part of it, too, but also [the amount of] spots, to a degree, but also roles, to a degree. Who's going to be active? Who's going to be playing these different roles in these different special teams packages, or who's going to rotate in at different positions? Then, the practice squad is up for major competition, as well." Teams have to announce their 53-player roster by 1 p.m. on Tuesday, August 26. Veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will be on the Ravens roster. He returned to practice Tuesday after dealing with a knee injury. Cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis also returned to practice. Cornerback Jaire Alexander, fullback Patrick Ricard, linebacker Kyle Van Noy and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie were among the players who didn't practice on Monday. After the preseason finale, the Ravens will have two weeks before playing in Buffalo in the season opener. Former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Jarrett Johnson and Ozzie Newsome, the team's Executive Vice-President of Player Personnel, stopped by training camp on Monday in Owings Mills.

Commanders sign veteran offensive tackle
The Washington Commanders added more offensive line depth on Tuesday, signing veteran offensive tackle George Fant. NFL insider Jordan Schultz had the news first, which the team later confirmed. Fant, 33, recently worked out for the Commanders. The Commanders fell to 0-2 in the preseason after Monday night's 31-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. While several of Washington's starters did not play, star quarterback Jayden Daniels was among those who played, and he quickly led the Commanders on a four-play, 74-yard drive that ended with a 14-yard touchdown from Daniels. Daniels did not play another snap. Washington's projected offensive tackles are Laremy Tunsil and rookie Josh Conerly Jr. Veteran Andrew Wylie, who is competing with Conerly, started at left tackle for Washington on Monday and played well. In addition to playing tackle, Wylie can also play both guard spots. Fant is a nine-year veteran who has played in 101 career games with 75 starts. Fant spent his first four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, then three with the New York Jets, one year with the Houston Texans, before returning to Seattle in 2024. He will likely compete with Trent Scott, Bobby Hart, Tyre Phillips and Foster Sarell for one spot. Fant would give Washington an experienced tackle should Tunsil, Conerly, or Wylie go down.
