""Full pads all the time. However many practices in pads you can get, every single one. We're doing one-on-ones in Week 17. Week 17, we're doing one-on-ones, everybody out there, we're tired, we're still going.""
""That's why we had a lot of injuries because of how we practiced, how we went. The load was heavy.""
""[Minter] knows how we worked with Harbaugh. So, he's like, 'You're going to get your work, but it's going to be a little easier on your body. You're going to be fresher for the game.'""
Zay Flowers attributes the Baltimore Ravens' injury issues to the rigorous practices under former coach John Harbaugh. He noted that the heavy workload, including full pads and one-on-ones late in the season, contributed to injuries. The Ravens faced significant health challenges during the 2025 season, impacting their performance. Following Harbaugh's departure, new head coach Jesse Minter assured players that practices would be less strenuous, allowing them to be fresher for games. Harbaugh concluded his tenure as the Ravens' winningest head coach.
