The Ravens and Los Angeles Rams will meet for joint practices before their Aug. 9 preseason game at M&T Bank Stadium.
The details are still being ironed out, but there are already several interesting notes worth pointing out:
1) The Harbaugh-McVay connection
Joint practices are not directed by the NFL; they’re often worked out by the head coaches of the respective teams. Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh and Rams Head Coach Sean McVay have never coached together, but they both played football at Miami (Ohio).
Last year, just a couple months after McVay was hired by the Rams, he shared a funny story about bumping into Harbaugh while checking into the hotel at the NFL League Meetings in Phoenix.
