Ravens

The cornerback room is one of the most competitive positions on the roster for the Ravens, but second-year UDFA Keyon Martin is continuing to make a case for himself as a roster dark horse. He’s consistently been making plays in the early days of camp and he got two big shoutouts, one from HC Jessie Minter and one from QB Lamar Jackson. 

“[Keyon Martin]’s a competitor. He studies the game. He is in the right spot. He’s sticky in coverage. He’s had a really good couple days. He had a really good day yesterday down in the red zone and another good day today,” Minter said via transcripts from the team. 

“Man, Keyon Martin has got a knack for the ball,” Jackson added. “He’s a guy that’s hungry. He wants to be on the field. He wants to be a difference maker for the defense. He’s like a little gnat out there. He is going to come up and try to make some tackles. He does what a nickel is supposed to do.” 

• Ravens CB Nate Wiggins revealed he had groin surgery this offseason, but he feels great. He was left on his back after a collision at practice on Tuesday, but said he just had the wind knocked out of him. (Jeff Zrebiec)

Steelers

• Steelers HC Mike McCarthy talked about QB Aaron Rodgers possibly playing in the preseason: “We have plans … he’d like to play. I’d like to see him play. But we won’t make a decision until we get all the way up to it.” (Nick Farabaugh)
