The Baltimore Ravens open the 2022 NFL regular season at the New York Jets on Sept. 11 at MetLife Stadium.
Injuries derailed the 2021 season for Baltimore, which finished last in the AFC North, and they continue to impact its roster this year. The Ravens have to determine whether running back J.K. Dobbins and left tackle Ronnie Stanley will be ready for the regular season. Team officials might need to carry an extra running back and offensive lineman as contingency plans.
Baltimore, which has a run-first philosophy with quarterback Lamar Jackson, could have an old-school look with its season-opening roster. The Ravens may keep as many running backs as wide receivers and carry double-digit offensive linemen.
The roster will be cut to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Here is a projection:
QUARTERBACK (2): Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley
The Ravens, who have one of the best quarterback groups in the league, will go with two quarterbacks to start a season for the first time since 2017. Undrafted rookie Anthony Brown, who has improved throughout the summer, is a leading candidate for the practice squad.
