Age is nothing but a number, right? OK, so we’ll take any excuse to bring back Uncle Drew into a post. But it’s admittedly the first thing we thought of after seeing this photo (via SB Nation) of Baltimore Ravens safety and perennial badass Ed Reed. It looks like Reed is almost ready to audition for the part. Not that we’re making fun of you, Ed. What’s that? No, we didn’t say anything. You are the man. Just saying…there is a resemblance…

Ravens TE Dickson (shoulder) likely out 2-3 weeks

The Ravens went to Atlanta with enviable depth at the tight end position. They boarded the homebound plane to Baltimore wondering how long Ed Dickson (shoulder) and Dennis Pitta might be sidelined. Dickson's injury appears to be the more serious of the two. He's scheduled for an MRI Friday to determine the severity of his shoulder injury which the team diagnosed initially...

Ravens aren’t unscathed after first preseason game

The goal for the preseason is for the starters to get their work, but not get injured. That wasn’t the case for the Ravens following their 31-17 victory over the Falcons Thursday night. Starting tight end Ed Dickson has a sprained shoulder and defensive lineman Ryan McBean has a fractured ankle, according to Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun. Dickson’s injury is more troubling...

Painter leads another touchdown drive, Ravens lead by seven at end of third quarter

Oh wow is Deonte Thompson fast. The free agent receiver got behind the Atlanta defense to score the go-ahead touchdown for the Ravens. Baltimore now leads the Falcons 24-17.

Ravens tie game in third quarter

The Ravens have looked better against Atlanta’s backups. The Ravens’ defense recovered a fumble at the 10-yard line leading to a Curtis Painter touchdown pass that went to Billy Bajema, the newest tight end. That was the tying score. The Ravens seem to be playing a bit better in the second half.

Ravens down 17-7 at the half

Overall it was a sloppy first half for the Ravens. Baltimore is down 17-7 to the Falcons at halftime. The first team offense didn’t look great, but did score. Defensively the team struggled. The Ravens are leaving a lot to be desired, but it is the first preseason game and there shouldn’t be too much to worry about.

Ravens down a touchdown after first quarter

The sloppy play for the Ravens’ offense continued throughout the first quarter. They didn’t convert a third down and only gained nine yards on nine plays. Way to go, Ravens. The defense picked it up a bit with linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo intercepting a Matt Ryan pass on the goal line. And the Falcons scored a second touchdown in the second quarter on a Jacquizz Rodgers run...
