Preseason Week 2: Ravens Visit a Vikings Team Still Missing Jamal Adams

Read the full recap →

The Baltimore Ravens travel to Minnesota on Saturday, August 22. The Vikings are still absorbing the loss of safety Jamal Adams for the season after his Week 1 knee injury, while Minnesota's quarterback room, with Kyler Murray named the starter, continues sorting out roles behind him among J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer. Baltimore's backups performed well in Week 1, with Tyler Huntley leading a 24-7 win over Philadelphia.

Minnesota's secondary is thinner than planned

Losing Adams for the season is a real blow to the Vikings' defensive depth heading into this game and beyond.

Ravens' backups already have momentum

Huntley and the rest of Baltimore's Week 1 group put together a clean performance against Philadelphia, giving the Ravens a track record to build on.

Vikings' RG Will Fries trending healthy

Fries returned to practice after missing two sessions, a positive sign for Minnesota's offensive line as the team manages other injury concerns.

Ravens' backups showed real execution in Week 1

A clean 24-7 win with Huntley running the offense gives Baltimore a proven floor entering this game.

Minnesota's secondary loss is a real setback

Losing Adams for the season thins a Vikings defense that will need others to step up immediately.

Preseason variance keeps this from a higher-confidence pick

Both rosters remain driven largely by backups and roster-bubble players despite the lean toward Baltimore.

This is a preseason exhibition. Baltimore's proven Week 1 backup performance is the deciding factor, tempered by the inherent unpredictability of preseason football.
