Ravens and Eagles Linebacker Battles Take Center Stage in Training Camp Previews

The Baltimore Ravens' linebacker unit will once again be anchored by Roquan Smith as they head into their 2026 training camp. However, the focus will shift to the players vying for complementary roles. Trenton Simpson and Teddye Buchanan are among those expected to push for playing time, alongside a group of younger prospects looking to make their mark.

Similarly, the Philadelphia Eagles are preparing for their own linebacker competition. Zack Baun is set to be the primary presence at the position. The Eagles will be closely watching the development of players like Jihaad Campbell and Jeremiah Trotter Jr., who will be in contention for significant snaps, as well as other developing talents.
