Ravens fans got a glimpse at least two of the things they came for at Sunday’s practice at M&T Bank Stadium: rookie kicker Tyler Loop’s powerful leg and Keaton Mitchell’s explosive speed.
The kicking competition between Loop and UDFA John Hoyland has been one of the team’s main storylines this offseason. It took another turn on Saturday, when Hoyland was waived as part of the team’s roster moves and John Harbaugh confirmed that the job was Loop’s to lose.
That seemed to give the sixth-round pick some confidence heading into his M&T Bank debut.
