According to Head Coach Jesse Minter, rookie wideouts Elijah Sarratt and Ja’Kobi Lane might log a lot of playing time this fall compared to other third and fourth-round picks.<\/p>\n
Fielding questions from the media after the Ravens’ first minicamp practice on Tuesday, Minter spoke highly of the pair’s potential role in Baltimore’s offense.<\/p>\n
“I do think there’ll be major opportunities for at least one of them, you know, when you look at the number of guys we have,” Minter said.<\/p>\n
With Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman absent from Tuesday’s practice, both rookie wide receivers took advantage. Although he didn’t have any major highlights, Lane caught a few short and intermediate passes across the seven-on-seven and 11-on-11 periods.<\/p>\n
Sarratt, meanwhile, had the best catch of the day, corralling a deep shot from Lamar Jackson down the right sideline through heavy coverage from cornerback Marquise Robinson.<\/p>\n
A contested catch savant in college, Sarratt’s sticky hands and toughness through contact could lead to early playing time. It can also build trust with Jackson, who made a pinpoint throw as he rolled out to his right.<\/p>\n
