The Baltimore Ravens have held training camp practices over the last week as the start of preseason quickly approaches. Training camp sessions are held during some of the hottest times of the year, which can lead to exhaustion and fatigue for those who are practicing. Wednesday’s temperature in Baltimore reached over 90 degrees, with the heat index feeling much hotter.
During team drills, Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton collided with tight end Isaiah Likely. Following the collision, Hamilton returned to the field for one play, but pulled up and left the field, heading inside with the team’s training staff.
