Starters: Terrell Suggs, C.J. Mosley, Daryl Smith, Courtney Upshaw
Backups: Elvis Dumervil, Za’Darius Smith, Arthur Brown, Albert McClellan, Zach Orr
Practice Squad: Brennen Beyer
The Ravens head into 2015 with one of the NFL’s best linebacking corps once again. Suggs and Dumervil are back as one of the league’s most feared pass rushing duos, and Mosley looks to build on a stellar rookie campaign.
Upshaw steps in as the likely run stuffer with Dumervil coming in on passing downs, though the Ravens have expressed interest in using Upshaw as a package player a la Pernell McPhee. Both scenarios are likely to happen this coming season, depending on how he produces.
McClellan and Orr are strong special teamers, while Smith and Brown will look to pick up reps on defense. Beyer had a strong preseason and the Ravens will look to develop him on the practice squad.
