Earlier in the offseason, the Baltimore Ravens were talking about late-round quarterback selection Trace McSorley possibly working at other positions on offense as well. Maybe running down some punts. Even the possibility of playing on defense was broached.
The conversation started to change after Robert Griffin III suffered a finger injury that has left him sidelined for most of the summer. The Ravens did eventually being in Joe Callahan, but McSorley has been consistently running as their number two quarterback.
With three of their projected starting offensive linemen sitting last night’s game, head coach John Harbaugh made the decision not to play starter Lamar Jackson, giving McSorley the opportunity to start the game.
