The Ravens open the preseason at home against the Washington Redskins Thursday, Aug. 10, and they'll also be home for the third preseason game, when starters traditionally see their most extensive action.
The NFL released the preseason schedule April 10, and the schedule-makers again did Ravens fans a favor, giving them a home game in the third week of the preseason for the eighth year in a row. That third preseason game is usually a team's final dress rehearsal before the season, with starters sometimes playing into the second half.
Then the Ravens will travel for the fourth preseason game, when many starters don't even dress. For the third time in four seasons, the Ravens will end the preseason in New Orleans.
