These players have nothing to worry about. They have a roster spot pretty much locked up:

For some players, training camp is a time to earn a roster spot. For others it’s to get ready for a 16 game season. Today we’re not looking at the roster bubble. We’re looking at the roster spots that are already basically promised. This list is bad news for players on the bubble. I have 47 players that I would be shocked to see not make the team. That leaves six roster spots up for grabs in training camp. Let’s dive into who is safe from the roster bubble.

Quarterback:

Trace McSorely could be a lock to make the roster as well. The one thing we know however is that Lamar Jackson is the quarterback and Robert Griffin III is the back up plan. Griffin is the perfect backup for Jackson. These two spots are promised.

Running back:

Kenneth Dixon is the notable omission here. Dixon is a player who could wind his way on the roster but it’s far from a promise. The Ravens have learned one thing about Dixon; they know they can’t get their hopes up with him. Ingram is the work horse running back while Edwards and Hill should round out a running back by committee attack.

The Ravens drafted Hill in the fourth round. He’s faster than Dixon and has the same untapped potential that Dixon had when he was drafted. Hill is going to be given a roster spot. Dixon is the most likely odd man out. The three running backs listed here are players Baltimore cannot part with.
