Wester, a sixth-round receiver from Colorado, was a dangerous punt returner in college and will be given an opportunity to win the job. The Ravens also re-signed wide receiver Tylan Wallace, who has made big plays over his career as a returner.

During practices and preseason games, Wester needs to display sure hands and good decision-making on returns. Several times last season, Baltimore lost field position in crucial moments when punts were not fielded and rolled toward the Ravens’ goal line.

Running back Keaton Mitchell enters camp as the favorite to be Baltimore’s primary kickoff returner. Mitchell is healthy again after a major knee injury in 2023, and returning kickoffs would give him opportunities to utilize his speed in the open field.
