Adam Randall gave the Baltimore Ravens one of their cleanest offensive snaps of Preseason Week 3 when he ran for 24 yards against the Washington Commanders. It was a sharp burst in a game filled with short preseason highlights, and it stood out because it put Randall on the spot as the most direct ball-carrier in the sequence that drew notice.
That matters now because Preseason Week 3 is where players try to turn isolated reps into evidence, and Randall’s run offered exactly that: a measurable gain against another NFL defense. The Ravens had other flashes in the same stretch, including a 25-yard touchdown catch by Chris Moore, while the Commanders answered with a 17-yard catch from Luke McCaffrey, but Randall’s carry was the clearest proof of his role in the moment.
The play was not the only notable snap in the set, which is part of why it registers. A preseason roundup can be crowded with long throws, return touchdowns and defensive takeaways, and that makes a 24-yard run look less like a headline by itself and more like a piece of evidence inside a broader evaluation. Still, Randall’s run was the Ravens’ specific ground-game note in the group, and the distance gives it a precision the other mentions do not need to share.
What comes next is less about one carry than about whether Randall keeps getting chances to turn them into more. For now, the number is simple: 24 yards, in Preseason Week 3, against the Washington Commanders, and enough to make his name the one worth checking twice.
