The Baltimore Ravens appear to already be looking ahead to their Week 3 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
According to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Ravens are scheduling former Chiefs QB Shea Patterson to come in for a workout. Patterson signed with the Chiefs following the 2020 NFL Draft as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan. At the time he was the only player in attendance at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine who wasn’t on an NFL roster.
The former Wolverines quarterback didn’t last too long in Kansas City. He spent a portion of the virtual offseason program with the Chiefs but was promptly released after the team brought back veteran QB Matt Moore. He never ended up doing any on-field work with the team.
Free agent QB Shea Patterson is set to work out for the #Ravens this morning, source said, as teams tinker with their emergency lists and practice squads. He recently spent time with the #Chiefs.

Now, Rapoport says this workout is intended for emergency lists or the practice squad, but the Ravens already have three quarterbacks on the active roster and one on the practice squad. We all know what’s really at play here.
It’s common practice in the NFL for teams to bring players in for workouts in hopes of probing them for information on an upcoming opponent. Baltimore seems to want every possible edge they can get against Kansas City in Week 3. They well know that the “Monday Night Football” matchup with the Chiefs could determine the No. 1 seed in the AFC by the end of the season.
In the long run, any information Patterson could provide probably wouldn’t give the Ravens much of an advantage, if any at all. Still, it’s noteworthy that they’re bringing him in so close to this pivotal matchup with Kansas City.
