The Ravens went into the offseason thinking they were set at inside linebacker.
With two-time Pro Bowler C.J. Mosley playing alongside rising star Zachary Orr, the Ravens had one of the league’s best linebacker tandems.
But then came the shocking news that Orr would have to retire after just three NFL seasons because of a previously undiscovered congenital neck/spine condition. Now the Ravens suddenly have a big hole in the middle of their defense.
“When you talk about replacing him, I think that’s an unfair way to look at it,” Linebackers Coach Don Martindale said.
