The Ravens are two weeks away from their annual roster crunch, and as usual, the math is tight. In addition to their three specialists, the team has typically gone with a 25-25 offense-defense split, setting up several tough cuts on both sides of the ball. The next two weeks – especially the Ravens’ two preseason games – will be crucial in deciding the remaining positional battles.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Ravens are dealing with a glut of talented linemen and some sudden scarcity at cornerback.
Baltimore has typically carried five defensive linemen on the 53-man roster.
