Back to full speed Wade (ribs) was a full participant at OTAs on Thursday.

Impact Wade spent his 2024 rookie season on the Ravens' practice squad, and he subsequently spent the 2025 campaign on injured reserve following rib surgery. The Ole Miss product is back to full health as he vies for a role this offseason. The Ravens drafted two wide receivers (Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt) in the first four rounds, so Wade likely needs to play a role on special teams to earn a 53-man roster spot for 2026.

NFL preseason top moments: Patrick Mahomes goes behind-the-back, Caleb Williams shines

Paces pass-catchers Friday Wade caught four of five targets for 27 yards in the Ravens' preseason loss to the Eagles.

Impact The undrafted rookie out of Mississippi saw plenty of action Friday as he led the team in targets, receptions and yards. Wade (5-9, 175) was an important part of Ole Miss' passing game in 2023 as he averaged 10.1 yards per target over 6.3 targets per game. Still, Wade will need to stack these types of performances while contributing on special teams to keep his 53-man roster hopes alive. That said, Friday's outing puts him on the radar heading into the second preseason game against the Falcons.
