          The Baltimore Ravens open the 2022 NFL regular season at the New York Jets on Sept. 11 at MetLife Stadium.

          The Ravens are coming off an injury-filled 8-9 season, their first last-place finish in coach John Harbaugh's 14 seasons. The return of five starters from season-ending injured reserve and the addition of 11 draft picks have created a deeper team.

          The positions to keep an eye on are outside linebacker and wide receiver. The Ravens could bring in a couple of free agents to provide depth to their banged-up outside linebacker group and experience to their young pass-catching targets for quarterback Lamar Jackson.

          Here's a 53-man roster projection:
