Baltimore Ravens president Dick Cass iterated the need for football in the community and opened up to whether the reigning AFC regular-season leaders will be able to meet and practice in the offseason.
Cass sees the Ravens' spring and summer training camp at their Owings Mill, Maryland facility as possible but moving to a location deemed safer might have to happen instead. Per Aaron Kazinitz of Penn Live, Cass said,
“We’ll consider all options … When we think about the option of trying to move our training camp outside of Maryland, we don’t like that option. We think that we can conduct training camp safely in Maryland. We know that our building will be absolutely pristine, and we think the safest place to conduct our training camp will be in Maryland at our facility. But if circumstances don’t allow that, we will explore the circumstances that are available to us …
“The key thing for all of us is to have football games … The community needs them, we need them and we’re expecting to play our games.”
The Ravens led the NFL with a 14-2 record during the 2019 regular season, but their Super Bowl quest was brutally cut short when the upstart Tennessee Titans in the AFC Division Round on Jan. 11 earlier this year.
Baltimore will be back in 2020 on a vengeance tour, led by last season's MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, and hoping to do a little more damage than losing their first postseason bout. But given the current dilemma of the COVID-19 pandemic, practicing in normal conditions may be off the table.
