Could Ravens Add Veterans at These Two Positions?<\/p>\n

With 10 of the Ravens’ 21 training camp practices in the books, The Baltimore Sun\u2019s Brian Wacker<\/a> analyzed each position group and looked at what questions still need to be answered.<\/p>\n

One question was whether the Ravens have enough proven depth at tight end. Behind starter Mark Andrews and veteran blocking tight end Durham Smythe are \u00a0fourth-round rookie Matt Hibner and fifth-round rookie Josh Cuevas.<\/p>\n

“It would not be a surprise if the Ravens added a veteran to the room,” Wacker wrote. “There are a handful still available, including Darren Waller, though there are questions about his health given a litany of injuries last year. Baltimore could also look to add a veteran pass catcher who is jettisoned from another team on or before roster cutdown day Aug. 30.”<\/p>\n

Other veteran tight ends still on the market include Jonnu Smith, Zach Ertz, and Will Dissly.<\/p>\n

Wacker said the Ravens face a similar issue at outside linebacker.<\/p>\n

“Beyond the top four (Trey Hendrickson, MIke Green, Tavius Robinson, second-round rookie Zion Young), there isn’t much depth or experience,” Wacker wrote. “Adisa Isaac, who suffered a dislocated elbow last season and was activated off the PUP list, continues to be a mystery. Will the Ravens look to add a rotational veteran pass rusher, as they have often done in the past?”<\/p>\n

Haason Reddick, Von Miller, and former Raven Kyle Van Noy are among the top outside linebackers remaining in free agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Could Ravens Add Veterans at These Two Positions?
