Welcome into Lounge presented by Draft Kings.

I'm Ryan Mink, joined by Garrett Downing, and we just watched the Ravens first full-team

training camp practice of 2024.

We're going to give you our takeaways today.

And obviously there's a little bit of news at the beginning of practice, Garrett, with the news that Lamar Jackson was sent home ill. He was six,

it was, uh, it felt like, it still felt like training camp, even though Lamar, even though the big star wasn't there.

Yeah, I mean, when the quarterbacks run out there and you're like, okay, one, two, three, four, hold on, wait, where's number eight?

Where's number eight?

It is, it does take the wind out of the sales a little bit for the start of practice.

But I agree.

I thought it was a pretty up-tempo practice. You know, fans were out there today. This is the first time that fans were out there as

training camp gets underway and that adds kind of an element of energy to practice.

Sure. It just feels more like the real deal. Yep. And had the little minklets out there today.

Oh, the little minis. Yeah. Minimks. Do they have any takeaways?

Takeaways.

Can I go get a slushy?

Yeah.
