Baltimore opens their 2016 campaign Thursday night with preseason action against the NFC champion Carolina Panthers. It’s the Panthers first game since losing Super Bowl 50, but Cam Newton is expected to play in the team’s first game of the new season. The Ravens dealt with massive injuries in 2015, and finished with their worst-ever record under John Harbaugh. With Joe Flacco, Justin Forsett and Terrell Suggs all healthy, Baltimore are once again expected to contend in the AFC North.
With the Olympics is full swing, Baltimore fans still want to see local hero Michael Phelps go for the gold. During tonight’s game, M&T Bank Stadium will show Phelps compete in the 200M individual medley final on their video board during the game.
