With the season opener just hours away, we’re breaking down and analyzing Baltimore’s 53-man roster for Week 1.
Backup QB secret
Lamar Jackson is the obvious starter, but head coach John Harbaugh has been non-committal about who’ll be the backup.
RB
The Ravens will roll with three running backs for the season opener, choosing not to elevate a running back with Keaton Mitchell on IR.
WR
Baltimore has six wide receivers ready for the opener and it’ll be the most explosive group Lamar Jackson has ever played with.
TE
Ian Rapoport reports that Andrews will miss the season opener with a quad injury, meaning Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar will be the only two tight ends on the roster.
OL
Baltimore elevated Sam Mustipher ahead of Week 1 and he’ll be the backup center.
DL
Travis Jones will be the backup at the nose tackle and defensive tackle positions.
LB
Jadeveon Clowney will make his Ravens debut as a backup pass rusher behind David Ojabo.
CB
With Marlon Humphrey out, Baltimore elevated Daryl Worley from the practice squad. Rock Ya-Sin and Ronald Darby will likely start at cornerback.
