The Ravens are one step closer to having two franchise legends enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Terrell Suggs and Marshall Yanda were announced as finalists for the Class of 2026 on Tuesday, putting them on the cusp of a permanent spot in Canton.

Suggs and Yanda reached this stage last year. Now, they must receive 80% of the votes from the Hall of Fame Selection Committee to earn a final spot. Results will be announced at the NFL Honors ceremony in February.
There is a certain irony in Suggs and Yanda, the best edge runner and right guard in franchise history, receiving such recognition in a year in which those positions are the biggest holes in the team’s roster. If you were to ask fans which player could come out of retirement to bolster the current team, Suggs and Yanda would probably be the first two answers..
The Ravens will have to make do with Daniel Faalele and their current group of edge rushers for the rest of the season.
