Without a doubt, the Ravens have been negatively impacted by injuries this season. Shutdown cornerback Jimmy Smith’s achilles tear pushed their injured reserve list to 16 players. The loss of all-pro guard Marshal Yanda in Week 2 cannot be overstated. Not to mention, the absence of promising slot cornerback Tavon Young has been felt at times this year.
After those three, the other thirteen players with season ending injures include only a few proven performers. Willie Henry has made more plays this season than Brent Urban has over his entire career.
