Lamar Jackson Will Not Play in the Game

Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter announced that Lamar Jackson and several key players will not participate in the team's preseason opener against the Eagles.

Minter enters this game at the start of his tenure as the Ravens' head coach after previously serving as the Los Angeles Chargers' defensive coordinator. Minter will also call the defensive plays himself during the preseason, giving him his first experience in that role as a head coach.

The Ravens are also working to establish a new offensive system under offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, with notable players such as Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry on the roster.

Meanwhile, the Eagles enter the new season as the reigning Super Bowl LIX champions and head into 2026 after five consecutive playoff appearances. According to the latest available information, there are no publicly reported active injuries for the Eagles, although injury reports can change as game day approaches.

What Do the Numbers Say About the Game?

Some betting markets have the Eagles favored by between 1.5 and 2.5 points, with 6 of 10 sportsbooks listing the Eagles at -2.5.

The projected total is 36.5 points across 9 to 10 sportsbooks. The Eagles' estimated win probability ranges from 53% to 55%, compared with 45% to 47% for the Ravens, with figures varying from one sportsbook to another.

Recent head-to-head data shows that the teams' most recent meeting ended in a 24-19 Philadelphia Eagles win over the Baltimore Ravens on December 1, 2024.

Why Is the Game Getting Attention?

The game marks the start of the preseason for two teams with very different storylines heading into the 2026 season.

It will be Jesse Minter's first preseason game as the Baltimore Ravens' head coach following John Harbaugh's departure after the 2025 season, ending Harbaugh's 18-year tenure with the team. The Ravens are also working to establish a new offensive system under Declan Doyle.

The Eagles, meanwhile, enter the game as Super Bowl LIX champions after five consecutive playoff appearances, making the matchup an early opportunity to see how both teams are preparing for the new season, even though preseason games do not affect the regular-season standings.

The game is also expected to feature the unveiling of "the next phase of improvements" at M&T Bank Stadium, according to Ravens sources.
