What's poppin? Justin Jefferson here. Football is a lot of explosion, a lot of energy and attitude. It's a whole different vibe. With these open ear buds, it's like you're in the moment, but also you can hear everything around you. You can be involved. To have good sound and to be so light on your ear means a lot to me. Putting that music into my ears, you feel good enough to go out there and play. You turn on that switch, no one can stop you. For more, check out bose.com.

Welcome in to the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It is Wednesday, October 23rd. The Ravens are gearing up for their game. This Sunday on the road in Cleveland against the division opponent, the Cleveland Browns. Today we had a chance to hear from head coach John Harbaugh and some of the players as the Ravens prepared for that divisional matchup. Let's kick it off with Coach Harbaugh.

John Harbaugh (1:49)

Great to see everybody here. We sure appreciate you being here.

A short week turnaround after Monday night game. We finished the game less than 48 hours ago and we're back at it. And our guys were in today, very attentive, very on point, with a mindset to get locked in and get ready for a big division game on Sunday at one o'clock in Cleveland. We've had many, many tough battles in Cleveland, with Cleveland, very physical football team, very aggressive football team, a very hungry football team. We understand that tough environment always, especially for the Ravens. So we're looking forward to it. We're excited about the opportunity. And the other thing I mentioned is we had three former Ravens that were made the top 50 for Hall of Fame induction. So congratulations to those guys, Sis, Terrell Suggs, Marshall Yanda, and Helo D'Nada. Those guys are well-deserving and in my mind, they have my vote. I don't have one, but they have my vote for first ballot Hall of Famers. So what questions do you have?

SPEAKER_6 (2:49)

John, we saw Keith Mitchell out there, that his 21 day window is starting. Do you expect them to, is there a timetable on when he will return? Do you think it's going to take the full 21 days? Anything that you know?

John Harbaugh (3:01)

I think that's all a good question. I really don't know anything.

I don't expect him to be back this week, you know, honestly, not that you never know. We'll see how he looks tomorrow when we're out there full speed, but he's been away quite a while. So we want to get him going, get him moving, get him practicing football and get him ready. You know, hopefully, within the three week window, that would be the goal for sure.

SPEAKER_7 (3:21)

What's the kind of benchmark for him, not just being out there today, but then that three week window to kind of be out there for good?

John Harbaugh (3:30)

Yeah, I mean, that'd be the goal that we would want him back. Sure, we want him back at the three week window at the latest. That would be the benchmark, I would think. Something before that would be great, you know.

SPEAKER_7 (3:40)

What would be the litmus test?

John Harbaugh (3:43)

The litmus test? Oh, yeah, that he practices well. He can make all the change of direction cuts. He can be productive, but also he can protect himself. Probably the most important thing that we feel like he's strong enough to protect himself. That'd be the number one thing.

SPEAKER_8 (3:57)

John, Cleveland's announced that James Winston will start quarterback.

I've seen a little bit of him, but I'm sure you've seen a lot of him in the past couple of years. What's your perception of him?
