RAVENS VISIT ANNAPOLIS ON NOV 10 The Baltimore Ravens hosted a kids football clinic at the USNA in Annapolis on Saturday in anticipation of Veterans’ Day and M&T Bank Stadium’s participation in the NFL’s Salute to Service campaign the following day.
On the field of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, young children who were descended from military people participated in a football clinic led by current Ravens Keaton Mitchell and Morgan Moses.
Just before the Ravens battle the Browns in a crucial AFC North showdown on Sunday (1 p.m. ET, Fox), the Navy Midshipmen (3-5, 2-3 AAC) host UAB the afternoon before (3:30 p.m. ET, CBSSN).
NOV 9 RAVENS HIGH IN PLAYOFF PICTURE The Baltimore Ravens have established themselves as one of the most dynamic and complete teams in football in the early portions of the 2023 NFL season, but there is a lot of football left to be played.
The Ravens (7-2) currently sit atop the AFC North, but the rest of the division would also be in the postseason picture if the season ended today. How does the Ravens’ record stack up against the rest of the AFC?
The current playoff picture can be found below.
1. Kansas City Chiefs — 7-2
2. Baltimore Ravens — 7-2
3. Jacksonville Jaguars — 6-2
4. Miami Dolphins — 6-3
5. Pittsburgh Steelers — 5-3
6. Cleveland Browns — 5-3
7. Cincinnati Bengals — 5-3
8. Buffalo Bills — 5-4
NOV 5 SEYMOUR AND WORLEY RETURN The Ravens made a pair of roster moves in preparation for their Week 9 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.
Defensive back Daryl Worley has been removed from IR and placed on the 53-man roster, while Baltimore also re-signed corner Kevon Seymour, who was released on Thursday and cleared waivers.
Worley, 28, suffered a shoulder injury in Week 4 against the Browns and is returning after a mandatory four-week absence. Seymour was re-signed and placed on the active roster in the event he needs to play against Seattle on Sunday.
NOV 2 RAVENS RELEASE SEYMOUR Per ESPN’s Field Yates, the Baltimore Ravens have released cornerback Kevon Seymour. The sixth-year defender has been on and off the Ravens’ roster in each of the past three seasons and was mostly relegated to special teams this time around. Seymour could return to the Ravens’ system via the practice squad.
Seymour’s departure could potentially make room for fellow secondary man Daryl Worley, who was activated from injured reserve earlier this week. Worley has not played since injury his shoulder in Week 4’s victory in Cleveland.
NOV 1 LEAVING LAS VEGAS Mired in an abysmal 3-5 season where little has gone right, the Raiders have fired head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager David Ziegler on Tuesday night.
The move came a day after an ugly 26-14 loss to the Detroit Lions in front of a national audience on Monday Night Football.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that linebackers coach Antonio Pierce will be the team’s interim head coach. Pierce will have his work cut out for him as the Raiders currently rank 31st in the NFL in points scored per game and 30th in yards gained per contest.
OCT 31 BROWNS TRADE WR DONOVAN PEOPLES-JONES The final day of the NFL trade period featured just one move on the jam-packed AFC North: while Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh stood pat, the Cleveland Browns traded receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones to the Detroit Lions for a fifth-round pick in 2025.
The trade is a homecoming for Peoples-Jones, a Detroit native and Michigan alum before Cleveland drafted him in the sixth round of 2017’s draft. Peoples-Jones set a career-high had 97 yards on eight receptions in seven appearances this season, which came after he tallied a career-best 839 on 61 grabs last year.
“He’ll be a good fit here. He’s a high-character kid,” Lions general manager Brad Holmes said of Peoples-Jones’ arrival, per Dave Birket of the Detroit Free Press. “He’s fired up about getting this process going.”
Despite a 38-6 shellacking at the hands of the Ravens two weeks ago, Detroit (6-2) continues to lead the NFC North. They have a bye in Week 9 before returning to action on Nov. 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers (4:05 p.m. ET, CBS).
OCT 31 COMMANDERS DUMP DEFENSE The Washington Commanders have been busy during the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday.
Just hours after the Washington Commanders traded edge rusher Montez Sweat to the Chicago Bears for a second-round pick, they finalized their decision on edge rusher Chase Young.
The Commanders chose to trade Young before Tuesday’s trade deadline to the San Francisco 49ers for a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, per Commander Country.
It’s clear that, at 3-5, Washington doesn’t have a legitimate path to the playoffs, and the front office is acting accordingly. Both Sweat and Young looked to be headed to free agency, and looming extensions did not align with the timeline the Commanders had in mind.
OCT 31 HOUSTON-CARSON TO HOUSTON The Houston Texans are signing safety DeAndre Houston-Carson from the Ravens practice squad, reports indicated on Tuesday.
Houston-Carson played his college ball at William & Mary, and he was selected in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. He has spent time with the Texans before joining the Ravens’ practice squad, and he will now be heading back to Houston for his second stint there in 2023.
OCT 27 SMITH ENDS FEUD WITH BRONCOS’ JEUDY Former Baltimore Ravens receiver Steve Smith took to the “Pat McAfee Show” on Friday to end his feud with fellow catcher and current Denver Bronco Jerry Jeudy.
Smith, a five-time Pro Bowler, apologized for calling out Jeudy while manning pregame coverage for Amazon Prime Video’s coverage of “Thursday Night Football” on Oct. 12, when Denver faced Kansas City, claiming the active receiver blew him off when he tried to apologize for an earlier jab on his podcast.
“I apologize for how I said it, what I said, and it didn’t sit well,” Smith declared. “That wasn’t my intent, but what’s done is done and I’m sorry. It makes me more aware that I gotta use different words and not make it come across like I’m jealous or envious of the current players, because I’m not.”
