SPEAKER_4 (1:35)

Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It's Monday, October 14th. The Ravens improved to four and two on the season and got their fourth straight win by taking down the commanders 30 to 23 on Sunday. On Monday, we had a chance to hear from head coach John Harbaugh during his weekly Monday afternoon presser.

John Harbaugh (1:55)

Okay, appreciate seeing you guys here and appreciate you making a change in the schedule to come over earlier than usual. The reason is, is Ingrid and I have a funeral to go to later today, and it's someone that made a big difference that we've known for a long time in our lives and someone that made a difference actually in the game this week. And her name is Rachel, and she's been a family friend for a long time, and she's been battling cancer for over 10 years, and she's been doing great against it and dominating it and outlived all predictions and had a great life with her family for the past number of years. It just was an inspiration as far as who she was. And we talked to the team about her in the team center, some encouraging messages on video and to her family that they can cherish now, and she passed on Friday. So our guys took it to heart. It was something that was meaningful to them, and I think it kind of, they carried it with them into the game, kind of the perspective that something like this provides you with. So just God bless Rachel and her family, and may she rest in the arms of the Lord for all eternity.

So with that, what questions do you have?

SPEAKER_6 (3:16)

From your perspective, is everything set for going to Tampa? Is that kind of how you're proceeding right now?

John Harbaugh (3:23)

Yeah, I've heard nothing. Maybe Chad's got some information on that, but as far as we know, Chad says no. So, yeah, as scheduled.

SPEAKER_7 (3:34)

John, can you just walk us through the emotions of yesterday, obviously, when you learned about Jim and what he was dealing with, and just, obviously, you were informed as the news conference was going on, just what the emotions were and what the conversation was with Jim?

John Harbaugh (3:56)

I appreciate that. First of all, I talked to Jim this morning. He's doing well, doing great, feeling a lot better. Said he was feeling a little off that day and the day before just a little bit. But he's had that issue in the past, had a couple of procedures over the years for that very issue, even as a player he had at one time. And, but he's doing good now and he's going to get some tests done today. No, just the press conference, you guys were there for that. I think I appreciate Eric grabbing me on that because it just happened and, you know, I think he wanted me to find out the right way. And so we got on the phone right away with Joe Hortiz, who was down there with Jim in the locker room. And he gave us the update on it and they were going through the tests and everything and trying to get his heart rate down and all that.
