Ravens Rookie TEs Breakout (And Blackout) In Good Way In Preseason Debut
The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24-7 in their preseason opener, highlighted by an unexpected breakout performance from their rookie tight end room. Entering the matchup under intense scrutiny following veteran Mark Andrews' recent struggles and the free-agent departures of key depth pieces, rookie tight ends Matt Hibner and Josh Cuevas answered early-camp concerns. Hibner led the charge with five receptions for 61 yards, including a team-best 29-yard catch on the second play from scrimmage. Undrafted rookies Lucas Scott and Ty Pezza also contributed as the tight end group caught all nine of their targets for 101 yards. Operating under offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, the young unit successfully executed downfield patterns and play-action looks. Head coach Jesse Minter praised the performance, which provides vital depth and momentum as Baltimore seeks reliable offensive weapons beyond wide receiver Zay Flowers for the upcoming NFL season.
