Baltimore Ravens Legend Returns With One-Day Deal to Assist Coaching Staff Against Browns

The 15: Best Ray Lewis Moments - PressBox

Baltimore, MD – September 13, 2025

The Baltimore Ravens have announced a one-day contract with Hall of Fame legend Ray Lewis, bringing him back in a supporting coaching role with the defensive staff for their Week 2 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

This move is a powerful statement for a Ravens team looking to sharpen their defensive edge after a hard-fought Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The defense, known for its physicality and intensity, showed flashes of brilliance but struggled with consistency, particularly in stopping the run game. With key injuries impacting the unit—fullback Patrick Ricard is ruled out, and tight end Isaiah Likely is questionable—the Ravens are turning to their greatest defensive icon to inspire and guide the squad.

Ray Lewis, a two-time Super Bowl champion and the heart of Baltimore’s historic 2000 defense, brings unmatched passion and football IQ. With 2,059 career tackles, 41.5 sacks, and 31 interceptions, Lewis is widely regarded as the greatest middle linebacker in NFL history. His role will focus on mentoring the linebacker corps, refining their reads, and reigniting the fiery spirit that defined his 17-year career with the Ravens.

Head coach John Harbaugh spoke passionately about Lewis’s return:
“Ray is the soul of this franchise. He led us to two Super Bowls with unmatched intensity and leadership. When he’s on the sideline, everything feels possible, no matter the odds. He led the Ravens with dominance back then, and that legacy will continue to drive us now.”

For Ravens Nation, seeing Lewis back at M&T Bank Stadium is a visceral reminder of the team’s defensive heritage. The 50-year-old legend, still a towering figure in Baltimore, embodies resilience and excellence. His journey with the Ravens, from the 26th overall pick in 1996 to the franchise’s greatest player, has never truly ended—and on Sunday, it will continue in a profound new chapter.

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
