- Ravens' officials won't have to make roster decisions for nearly 2 1/2 months, but past trends could provide a glimpse to what direction they'll go.
- The retirement of Ricky Williams leaves the Ravens with one running back who has more than five career NFL carries -- and thatĀæs Ray Rice, who is an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Here's a quick look at who the Ravens have on the roster (besides Rice) and a little speculation with three free-agent running backs and three soon-to-be draftees who might fit with the team.
- 83-yard Rice run set the tone for Ravens to beat Patriots two years ago. Team effort helped spring play, which led to a 33-14 victory in the wild-card round.
- Former Terp Laquan Williams surprised many by even making the Ravens, but knows he must work to secure a spot
- Rookie corner Chykie Brown, late addition at defensive end Michael McAdoo make team after flashing potential late in preseason
- The Ravens look stronger on defense, but the offense has yet to come together and has some holds
- As if a fourth preseason game that featured few Ravens starters could get any less compelling, any intrigue for this one was sent to the locker room midway through the first quarter when rookie quarterback Tyrod Taylor injured his shoulder.
- Thursday night's preseason game against the Falcons won't be all that entertaining for Ravens fans who want to see Ray Lewis, Joe Flacco and Ed Reed play four quarters of football.
