Ravens plan for Patrick Ricard's replacement with Lucas Scott

The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for the departure of All-Pro fullback Patrick Ricard, who joined the New York Giants during the 2026 NFL free agency period. The team has identified Lucas Scott as the likely successor to Ricard's role. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 290 pounds, Scott shares physical similarities and a similar career trajectory with Ricard, transitioning from defensive line to fullback. Incoming offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's scheme may accommodate Scott as they move away from a heavy reliance on traditional fullback roles. The Ravens are also considering other versatile players in their offensive strategy, including tight ends who can fill a blocking back position.
