Eric DeCosta had to call an audible last week.
The Ravens’ deal for defensive lineman Michael Brockers collapsed over concerns about an ankle injury he suffered in the regular-season finale with the Los Angeles Rams. The uncertainty about his health prompted DeCosta to re-evaluate the deal.
In the end, Brockers re-signed with the Rams with a contract that was slightly higher than the Ravens offer. Brockers was expected to provide additional for a revamped defensive line that also featured Calais Campbell, who was acquired from the Jacksonville Jaguars in a trade.
