John Harbaugh said the final two-hour session at the Sports Performance Center left the team in a much better place than when it arrived.
After the work in West Virginia, Harbaugh said the group had “improved tremendously,” adding, “I think we got a lot better” and that the team was “much further along than we were when we started.” His assessment was simple: the work mattered, and it showed.
What Harbaugh took from the work
Harbaugh did not frame the session as a finishing point so much as another step in a longer process. He said the competition in the NFL is tough and that every team is trying to improve at the same time. In that environment, he said, “you’re in a race every single day to be at least the best you can be.”
He also praised the way his players handled the work, saying, “I thought our guys did a good job” and “I’m happy with where we’re at.” The message was straightforward: the team made real progress, but the expectation is to keep building.
Why the timing matters
The update comes one day after the team lost left tackle Laremy Tunsil to a torn triceps, a reminder that offseason momentum can change quickly. Even so, Harbaugh’s comments point to a roster that is still focused on the bigger picture and trying to stay on track.
The article also touches on a separate fantasy-football style evaluation of Jaxson Dart, who was described as a No. 1 option after posting 487 yards and nine touchdowns in 14 games and 12 starts, while also noting a team that finished 13th in points and averaged more than 17 fantasy points. That context is separate from Harbaugh’s comments, but it reflects the broader attention surrounding the roster and its key players.
For now, the main takeaway is that Harbaugh believes the team got a lot out of the final two-hour session. His closing thought captured the tone of the week: keep your head down, stay after it every day, and never take a breath in the effort to get better.
