Live Updates: Green Bay Packers 30, Baltimore Ravens 7
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers are hosting the Baltimore Ravens in the final preseason game of the year on Saturday. Follow all day for updates from sun-drenched Lambeau Field.
Final Score
Here is the story of a 30-7 win to close the preseason.
Fourth Quarter
Packers 30, Ravens 7 (7:23 remaining)
Anders Carlson missed a 32-yard field goal, adding a little more consternation to the kicking battle. The 11-play, 56-yard drive included just one pass by Sean Clifford.
Packers 30, Ravens 7 (14:18 remaining)
On fourth-and-1, Ravens quarterback Devin Leary dropped the snap and wound up being dropped short of the line to gain by linebacker Chris Russell. Sean Clifford will re-enter at quarterback.
Third Quarter
Packers 30, Ravens 7 (1:59 remaining)
Greg Joseph drilled a 55-yard field goal to add to Green Bay’s lead. Back in the game after getting shaken up on the previous drive, Pratt connected with Samori Toure for 13 on third-and-7. Toure slipped a tackle and gained 10 yards after the catch to move the chains.
Packers 27, Ravens 7 (6:51 remaining)
The defense forced a three-and-out punt – Deslin Alexandre had a nice run stop on second down. Michael Pratt will be back in at quarterback for the Packers.
Packers 27, Ravens 7 (8:28 remaining)
Rookie quarterback Michael Pratt threw a horrendous interception, tossing it right to linebacker Trenton Simpson. Adding injury to insult, Pratt tried to make the tackle and collided with receiver Jalen Wayne. He was taken into the medical tent to be checked out.
Packers 27, Ravens 7 (12:01 remaining)
Taking advantage of a short field after the turnover, Sean Clifford on fourth-and-4 from the 7 threw a touchdown pass to Malik Heath. Heath ran a post and got inside position, and the pass was right on the money.
Packers 20, Ravens 7 (14:49 remaining)
Rookie cornerback Kalen King missed a couple tackles in the first half but he opened the second half with a jarring blow that forced Ravens tight end Riley Sharp to fumble. Linebacker Christian Young’s recovery gave the Packers the ball at Baltimore’s 27.
Halftime
Packers 20, Ravens 7
The Packers lead by 13 at halftime.
The three stars:
Arron Mosby has a forced fumble, which Anthony Johnson scooped up for a defensive touchdown, and intercepted a pass.
Quarterback Michael Pratt is 6-of-8 for 67 yards and one touchdown. His two series led the team to 10 points.
Running back Emanuel Wilson has 11 carries for 52 yards and two receptions for 26 yards.
Second Quarter
Packers 20, Ravens 7 (1:57 remaining)
With the Ravens in scoring position, defensive end Arron Mosby struck again. Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley’s scheme has the front going forward at all times. Well, almost at all times. Mosby dropped into coverage and made an all-hands grab of Devin Leary’s pass to tight end Qadir Ismail for the interception, which gave Sean Clifford a 2-minute opportunity at the 30.
The Ravens for a hot second were in the end zone when Leary’s pass whistled through the hands of linebacker Kristan Welch and cornerback Gemon Green for a 33-yard touchdown to Dayton Wade. However, the ball hit the ground before Wade made the grab.
Who is Arron Mosby?
Mosby had 15.5 tackles for losses at Fresno State as a senior in 2021. He went undrafted in 2022 and spent the year on the Panthers’ practice squad. He played a couple snaps on defense in three appearances. Here is our story when the Packers finally signed him last year.
Packers 20, Ravens 7 (5:19 remaining)
Defensive end Arron Mosby, who’s had a quietly good training camp, went untouched into the Ravens backfield and clobbered rookie quarterback Devin Leary. The ball went dribbling back about 20 yards before it was scooped by up by Anthony Johnson, who took it back 24 yards for the touchdown.
Packers 13, Ravens 7 (7:22 remaining)
On third-and-4, rookie Michael Pratt threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Bo Melton. Pratt’s back-shoulder throw was on the money, and Melton made a leaping catch against cornerback Damarious Williams before a Lambeau Leap.
On third-and-1, Pratt’s play-action fake to no one in particular resulted in a 20-yard completion to Emanuel Wilson on a bootleg. Wilson got the ball on the next play for a run of 12; center Jacob Monk had a pancake block.
The new offensive line had Caleb Jones at left tackle, Lecitus Smith at left guard, Jacob Monk at center, Royce Newman at right guard and Luke Tenuta at right tackle.
Ravens 7, Packers 6 (11:21 remaining)
The Ravens didn’t have a first down in the first quarter but have the lead on Josh Johnson’s 48-yard touchdown pass to Tylan Wallace. On third-and-9, a miscommunication in the secondary left Wallace wide open at the 34. He caught the ball on the fly and won the race to the pylon against safety Zayne Anderson.
Packers 6, Ravens 0 (14:57 remaining)
Michael Pratt replaced Sean Clifford at quarterback and was part of another scoring drive. Ellis Merriweather had runs of 13 and 10 yards and Pratt connected with Malik Heath for gains of 11 and 8 yards, the latter coming on third-and-6. Perhaps unnoticed: receiver Bo Melton had a dominating block on Merriweather’s 10-yarder, receiver Grant DuBose had a good block on a 3-yard run and receiver Samori Toure had a good block on a third-and-long screen. On the first play of the quarter, Greg Joseph booted a 36-yard field goal.
First Quarter
Packers 3, Ravens 0 (5:52 remaining)
The Ravens went three-and-out. Colby Wooden buried running back Owen Wright for minus-1 on the first down, and Kalen King delivered a big hit on a short third-down completion.
Michael Pratt will be the quarterback for the upcoming series.
Packers 3, Ravens 0 (7:27 remaining)
Tight end Joel Wilson’s last-gasp run to a roster spot hasn’t started well. On the first series, he dropped a pass. On the second series, he missed the block on Ravens outside linebacker David Ojabo, who hit Sean Clifford and helped force an incompletion. Clifford was incomplete on third down, as well, and is 1-of-7 to start.
Michael Pratt is warming up as part of an expected rotation at quarterback.
Packers 3, Ravens 0 (8:28 remaining)
The Packers forced a three-and-out punt. Offensive pass interference on receiver Devontez Walker put the Ravens in an insurmountable hole.
Packers 3, Ravens 0 (11:14 remaining)
The Packers scored two points last week. They’ve already got three as Anders Carlson booted a 54-yard field goal. Green Bay took the opening kickoffs and got into scoring position behind runs of 12 and 7 yards by Emanuel Wilson and a 13-yard catch by Malik Heath. On third-and-11, Sean Clifford dropped the shotgun snap, which ruined a receiver screen. Carlson watched the kick the whole way, and it curled inside the right upright.
38 Players Inactive for Packers
Are the Packers ready for Week 1?
“Yes, we are,” receiver Romeo Doubs said after Thursday’s joint practice against the Ravens.
Coach Matt LaFleur agrees. Here are the players who will not play, broken down by position.
Quarterback: Jordan Love.
Running back: Josh Jacobs, MarShawn Lloyd, AJ Dillon (stinger).
Receivers: Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks
Offensive line: RT Zach Tom, LT Rasheed Walker, C Josh Myers, T Andre Dillard (shoulder), LG Elgton Jenkins, G Sean Rhyan, T/G Jordan Morgan (shoulder).

“I definitely think having the two joint practices helped a lot, just being able to see the different defenses,” Love said this week. “Going against our defense all camp, we’ve got a really good defense, so it helped a lot. I like where we’re at offensively. I think we’re ready to go, get the season started.”
Packers-Ravens Inactives
Nothing has been announced – it was about 15 minutes before last week’s kickoff at Denver when the team announced Jordan Love and Co. would not play – but it appears the starters will not play vs. the Ravens.
During warmups, the No. 1 offensive line stood behind the rest of the blockers as they went through pregame drills.
When the team went to 11 on 11, the No. 1 line was Kadeem Telfort, Royce Newman, Jacob Monk, Lecitus Smith and Travis Glover. Sean Clifford was the quarterback.
Defensively, Kalen King was at cornerback and Anthony Johnson and Zayne Anderson were the safeties.
And, sure enough:
Injured running backs AJ Dillon (stinger) and MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) did not go through warmups. Injured offensive linemen Jordan Morgan (shoulder) and Andre Dillard (shoulder) went through individual drills.
Key Dates for Packers
Training camp is complete. Here’s what’s ahead.
Tuesday: The Packers must cut the roster to 53 players by 3 p.m.
Wednesday: Formation of 16-player practice squad can begin at 11 a.m. For the Packers, it will be 17 players with the inclusion of International Player Pathway player Alex Hale, a kicker from Australia.
Friday, Sept. 6: Packers vs. Eagles in Brazil, 7:15 p.m.
Sunday, Sept. 15: Home opener vs. Colts, noon.
Kitan Oladapo Progressing
Safety Kitan Oladapo, a fifth-round pick by the Packers, suffered a broken toe at the Scouting Combine. He missed the entire offseason program and the start of training camp before playing a little on special teams at Cleveland and 32 promising snaps on defense at Denver.
“I think it was good,” he said this week. “It was a good start just to go out there and let loose. There’s alignment and assignment issues but I think it was a good start.”
Oladapo wound up tied for fourth on the team with four tackles vs. Denver.
“I showed some flashes,” he said. “Just need to be more consistent and get more comfortable in the system and with my body and get my legs back.”
Oladapo missed too much time to be an immediate contributor on defense. He’s miles behind Xavier McKinney and fellow rookies Javon Bullard and Evan Williams on the depth chart. But a spot on the 53-man roster is well within reach, which means an early role on special teams.
“Me and my coach were talking,” he said of Ryan Downard. “Just go out there and play fearless, we’ll correct the mistakes later. Just go out there and put on tape being physical, be aggressive, and maximum effort. We’ll do the assignment-wise later.”
Even if the starters play a series or two against the Ravens, Oladapo figures to get a lot of snaps on Saturday.
“The more he gets to play, the better he’ll do, the faster he’ll play,” coach Matt LaFleur said. “I thought he showed up and showed good physicality, good range. I think he’s still trying to get his legs underneath him. But I’m excited about the player. I think he showed consistent growth every time we go out and practice, both on defense and on teams.”
