Kyle Hamilton prioritizing recovery ahead of fifth season

Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton said he is placing added emphasis on recovery heading into his fifth NFL season, noting both past injuries and general wear-and-tear at the position while jokingly pointing to running back Derrick Henry as part of his motivation to improve his routine.

“Yes, I did a couple of Pilates classes. [Director of strength & conditioning] Scott Elliott, who’s our head strength coach, he was talking to me about my posterior chain, so this offseason was kind of just working on that a good bit. Everybody’s going to have something throughout the year. [There’s] a little bit of luck, a little bit of offseason programming and working, but I think a lot of it’s going to have to do with recovery, which I’m more determined to be better at going into Year Five. I just turned 25 [and feeling like I’m] going on 50. Football ages you like dog years, so just being willing and able to invest time in my body, especially in-season [with] massages, hot tubs, cold tubs and all that stuff. It sounds redundant and cliche, but I think it really helps. And kind of just getting in Derrick Henry’s bag with that whole thing. So maybe I’ll just follow him around and be in his pocket.”

Hamilton’s focus on recovery comes as he continues through the early stages of Baltimore’s offseason program, where much of the work has centered on strength maintenance, mobility, and building habits designed to carry into training camp and the 2026 season.
