What happened: Ravens offered Raiders a second-round pick this year for an unnamed player but Raiders rejected it. A new MRI at MedStar using advanced sensors revealed potential bone-to-bone contact in the knee, alarming the Ravens. Baltimore ultimately nixed the trade after physical exam concerns.

Why it matters: Raiders retain depth during 2-7 season rebuild; Ravens (7-3 AFC North leaders) miss chance to bolster roster before Nov. 5 deadline. No immediate game line shifts from vague player details.

What to watch: Watch Raiders' trade market for the player and Ravens' deadline pursuits.
