Baltimore Ravens DST

Player Outlook
The Ravens defense was special in 2023 and became the first team in NFL history to lead the league in points allowed (16.5 per game), sacks (60), and takeaways (31). But a few changes are coming this season that could make a negative impact. Baltimore lost defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, linebacker Patrick Queen and safety Geno Stone. However, with standout players like defensive lineman Justin Madubuike, linebacker Roquan Smith, cornerback Marlon Humphrey and safety Kyle Hamilton still on the roster, the Ravens DST should once again be a top unit. You should draft the Ravens DST in all leagues as a No. 1 option with a late-round pick.

  • Ravens' Trayvon Mullen: Back on practice field

    Rotowire
    Mullen (toe) is participating in mandatory minicamp, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports. Mullen missed the entire 2023 season due to a toe injury, but he's now back on the practice field and competing for a roster spot. The veteran cornerback is capable of contributing both as a depth option on defense, and on special teams.

  • Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Dealing with minor injury

    Rotowire
    Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday that Hamilton will miss minicamp after the safety recently had a procedure to remove loose bodies from his elbow, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports. Hamilton will need about 2-to-3 weeks to recover from the procedure, so he's expected to be ready for training camp. The Notre Dame product is coming off a breakout sophomore campaign in which he tallied 13 pass breakups, four interceptions, three sacks and 81 total tackles in 15 regular-season games.

  • Ravens' Adisa Isaac: Dealing with injury

    Rotowire
    Isaac has been nursing a hamstring strain since the Ravens' rookie minicamp in May, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. The outside linebacker was selected in the third round of the draft out of Penn State, where he recorded 7.5 sacks and 16 total tackles for a loss as a senior in 2023. The rookie is competing for snaps in a deep edge rotation with Odafe Oweh, Kyle Van Noy and David Ojabo (knee).

  • Ravens' Malik Hamm: Participating in OTAs

    Rotowire
    Hamm (ankle) has been taking in part in the Ravens' offseason practices, per a photo shared on the team's official site. Hamm was on injured reserve all of last season, though he was designated to return in early December. He now appears to be back to full health and will be able to compete for a depth role on Baltimore's defense during training camp.

  • Ravens' David Ojabo: Expects to be healthy soon

    Rotowire
    Coach John Harbaugh said Thursday that Ojabo (knee) will probably be ready to practice in full at some point during training camp, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. Ojabo missed most of his second NFL season after sustaining a torn ACL in Week 3, but it now looks like he should be back to 100 percent by the start of the 2024 campaign. Through his first two NFL seasons combined, he's appeared in just five games.

  • Ravens' Odafe Oweh: Looks good at OTAs

    Rotowire
    Oweh (thumb) has impressed during the Ravens' organized team activities, Ryan Mink of the team's official website reports. Oweh underwent thumb surgery following the 2023 season, but his presence at OTAs indicates he's made a full recovery. Baltimore picked up his fifth-year option earlier this offseason, so Oweh will be on the Ravens' books through the 2025 season. The 31st overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, who has tallied 13 sacks across 45 appearances during his first three seasons, projects to start opposite Kyle Van Noy at outside linebacker during the upcoming season.

  • Ja'Mion Franklin: Gets cut lose

    Rotowire
    Franklin (undisclosed) was waived by the Ravens with an injury waiver Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Franklin's injury and the severity of it are unknown, but the undrafted rookie defensive lineman will hit the free-agent ranks if he clears waivers.

  • Ravens' Damarion Williams: Back in gear

    Rotowire
    Williams is participating in drills during OTAs, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports. Williams went to Baltimore's injured reserve list with an undisclosed injury back in January, but he's now apparently healthy enough for football activities again. After the Ravens added Nate Wiggins and T.J. Tampa during April's draft, Williams might have to fight just to garner a spot on the 2024 roster.

  • Ravens' Jalyn Armour-Davis: May be on roster bubble

    Rotowire
    Davis (concussion) could be on the bubble for a spot on the Ravens' season-opening roster heading into training camp, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. Armour-Davis, a 2022 fourth-round pick, suited up for just four games as a rookie, then eight games in 2023 before ending the season on injured reserve with a concussion. He could have his work cut out to earn a roster spot, especially given that he mostly contributed on special teams in 2023.

  • Ravens' Odafe Oweh: Option picked up

    Rotowire
    Oweh (thumb) had the fifth-year option on his contract for 2025 exercised by the Ravens. Selected 31st overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, Oweh has 13 sacks across 45 appearances through his first three seasons. He's yet to top five sacks in a single season and hasn't developed as anticipated, seeing his snap rate decrease each season and bottoming out at 50 percent in 2023. Still, the Ravens have high hopes for the 25-year-old and he still has a role as a situational edge rusher. Owen underwent thumb surgery following the playoff loss to Kansas City.

  • Ravens' Sanoussi Kane: Intriguing add to Ravens' secondary

    Rotowire
    The Ravens selected Kane in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 250th overall. Kane was a two-year starter for Purdue and made his mark primarily as a stopper in the run game. He's a bit more raw in coverage, but the expectation is that he has enough athleticism to match up with tight ends in the NFL. The Ravens lack depth at safety, which gives Kane some upside beyond what his draft capital suggests.

  • Ravens' Nate Wiggins: Baltimore scoops up at 30th overall

    Rotowire
    The Ravens selected Wiggins in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 30th overall. Wiggins is awfully skinny at 6-foot-1, 173 pounds, and with such a light frame comes reasonable concerns about run defense. He won't turn 21 until Aug. 28, however, and his frame clearly has room to add some weight if necessary. Wiggins can add mass to his frame with time, but the other cornerbacks in this class can't acquire what Wiggins has innately: elite speed (4.28-second 40) and proven coverage ability. He was the top defender on a smothering Clemson pass defense in 2023, and the Ravens have to be one of the best teams in the league for developing defensive talents. Perhaps he's a slight project, but Wiggins should fully arrive for Baltimore at some point in the near future.

  • 49ers' Rock Ya-Sin: Headed to San Francisco

    Rotowire
    The 49ers signed Ya-Sin (knee) to a one-year deal Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports. The 2019 second-round pick will suit up for his fourth team in just as many years after agreeing to terms with the 49ers. Ya-Sin missed the final game of Baltimore's 2023 campaign due to a knee injury, but he's seemingly moved past the issue. The 27-year-old cornerback appeared in 14 games for the Ravens last season, recording 13 tackles and two passes defensed.

  • Ravens' Kyle Van Noy: Back with Baltimore

    Rotowire
    Van Noy agreed Thursday with the Ravens on a two-year contract, ESPN.com reports. Van Noy, who turned 33 years old last month, is coming off a 2023 season in which he recorded 30 tackles and a career-high nine sacks in 14 games with Baltimore. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Van Noy's new deal is worth $9 million, along with incentives worth up to $1 million annually. His return gives Baltimore an experienced edge rusher to help fortify and maintain continuity in a defense that logged a league-high 60 sacks in 2023.

  • Panthers' Jadeveon Clowney: Fortifies Carolina's pass rush

    Rotowire
    Clowney agreed to terms Wednesday with the Panthers on a two-year, $20 million deal, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Per Rapoport, Clowney's deal has a maximum value of $24 million. While spending the 2023 season with the Ravens, Clowney finished with 43 tackles and 9.5 sacks over 17 games. By adding the top pick in the 2014 NFL Draft to the defensive mix, the Panthers will bolster a pass-rushing unit that's looking to make up for the recent trade of Brian Burns to the Giants.

  • Ravens' Arthur Maulet: Back with Baltimore

    Rotowire
    Maulet re-signed with the Ravens on a two-year contract Tuesday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. Maulet joined Baltimore last summer after two years in Pittsburgh and operated as their nickel corner. In 14 regular-season contests, the Memphis product had 37 tackles (32 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one interception among his five passes defended.

  • Ravens' Ar'Darius Washington: Stays in Baltimore

    Rotowire
    The Ravens re-signed Washington on Thursday. Washington was an exclusive rights free agent after appearing in just eight games over three seasons for the Ravens. He saw action on only 113 defensive snaps last season.

  • Ravens' Brent Urban: Re-signing with Ravens

    Rotowire
    Urban re-signed with the Ravens on Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. Urban will stay in Baltimore, where he's compiled 43 tackles (26 solo), including four sacks, in 33 games played across the past two seasons. The 2014 fourth-round pick will look to contribute as rotational defender once again during the upcoming campaign.

  • Tyus Bowser: Released with NFI designation

    Rotowire
    The Ravens released Bowser (knee) with a non-football injury designation Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports. Bowser will head to free agency after spending the entirety of his six-year career with Baltimore. The 28-year-old will now look to get healthy and catch on with another team.

  • Tyus Bowser: Let go by Baltimore

    Rotowire
    Bowser (knee) is in line to be released by the Ravens, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. Bowser missed the entire 2023 season while recovering from a torn Achilles and a subsequent knee injury, but he anticipates playing in 2024. The linebacker will likely have to earn a role elsewhere after the Ravens parted ways with Bowser on Wednesday to create about $5.5 million in cap space. Bowser's most productive season came in 2021, when he set career highs in both tackles (59) and sacks (7.0).
