Yurk is the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) all-time leader in yards per punt, a mark that underscores both his consistency and leg strength throughout his collegiate career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The two-time first-team FCS All-American would potentially step in as the Ravens\u2019 punter following the departure of Pro Bowl punter Jordan Stout, who signed a free-agent deal with the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/new-york-giants\/351\" data-autotag=\"9402befb-12da-4b26-905a-81ab1fea0850\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">New York Giants<\/a>. With the position now open, Baltimore appears to be evaluating multiple options as it looks to maintain stability in the special teams unit heading into the upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Yurk\u2019s resume makes him an intriguing candidate, particularly given his production at the FCS level and his ability to flip field position. While a private workout does not guarantee a signing or draft selection, it signals that the Ravens are doing due diligence on potential replacements. As training camp and roster decisions approach, punting competition could become an under-the-radar storyline worth monitoring in Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:4|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 1, 2026, 7:36 p.m. ET NFL and college football analyst Ryan Fowler is reporting that the Baltimore&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":848686,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2052],"tags":[95878,184,117,2282,7,6,169,96963,96964,95882,95898,116226,97088,95896,95891,95888,95906,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-848685","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-ravens","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-baltimore","10":"tag-baltimore-ravens","11":"tag-baltimoreravens","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-ravens","15":"tag-sstssportsnflravens","16":"tag-sstsnravens","17":"tag-tagamerican-football","18":"tag-tagbaltimore-ravens","19":"tag-tagelon-university","20":"tag-tagjordan-stout","21":"tag-tagnational-sports","22":"tag-tagnew-york-giants","23":"tag-tagnfl","24":"tag-tagoverall-positive","25":"tag-tagsports-news","26":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116333583730970692","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=848685"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848685\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/848686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=848685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=848685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=848685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
