BALTIMORE (AP) -The competition for the Baltimore Ravens place-kicking job is over. Matt Stover is the winner, by forfeit. Former NFL Europa kicker Rhys Lloyd has encountered visa problems coming to the United States from overseas. Judging by the way Stover played Monday night in the Ravens' preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, Lloyd might as well stay put. Stover made all five of his field goal attempts and accounted for 17 points in Baltimore's 29-3 rout. If there was any lingering doubt a |

It goes back to the boxing duels he had as a youngster with his older brother, Dawan, who now plays for the Baltimore Ravens. ``They used to go at it every day,'' said Landry's father, Frank Landry. ``When they were 3 or 4 years old, they used to battle over small things, a video game or sneakers or a shirt. When they were about 4 or 5, I said 'If y'all are going to fig |

Last season's Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith, who the Ravens drafted in the fifth round of this year's draft, went just 3-for-11 for 34 yards. Willis McGahee, who the |

| Bethlehem, PA (MySportsbook) - Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb will miss the team's preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens Monday. McNabb is attempting to come back from a torn ACL in his right knee that cut short his 2006 season. The former Pro Bowl quarterback has been practicing but coach Andy Reid announced his intention to let McNabb sit on Sunday. "I really think he worked well (in practice)," Reid said. "He seems strong. I'd rather start him off at our place, on grass, if possibl |

Running back Jamal Lewis, signed from the division rival Baltimore Ravens in the offseason, rushed for 20 yards on four carries. The Chiefs have a quarterback battle of their own between veteran Damon Huard and youngster Brodie Croyle, both of whom underwhelmed against the Browns. Croyle started and completed 5-of-8 passe |

| ER, Md. (AP) -Yamon Figurs cut to the outside at the precise moment a football bounced off the side of his helmet. Minutes later, he made a fine running catch on a pass from Kyle Boller and glided into the end zone. Such is life these days for the Baltimore Ravens rookie. There are good days and bad days, fine plays and awful plays. The only guarantee is that nothing is certain - especially in regard to his role on the team. Figurs, Baltimore's third-round pick in the 2007 draft, is both a wide receiver and |

WESTMINSTER, Md. (AP) -The first time he showed up at an NFL training camp, Todd Heap joined the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens under the scrutiny of a national television audience. HBO was filming the series ``Hard Knocks,'' and Heap, as the team's top draft pick, was the subject of unmerciful hazing from veterans Shannon Sharpe, Ray Lewis and Tony Siragusa. It made for great television. Behind the scenes, however, Sharpe dutifully played the role of a tutor, sharing with the rookie much of the kn |
