The Baltimore Ravens set the 53-man roster for the first time. It is important for fans to remember that there will be plenty of changes, starting about 20 hours after the initial cuts were made. Still, it is worth looking at the initial view of the roster and see where things will change from here.
Quarterback (2)
Lamar Jackson
Tyler Huntley
There were questions about Josh Johnson making the team, and he may even make it after the team places Huntley on the short-term IR.
Running Back/ Fullback (5)
J.K. Dobbins
Gus Edwards
Justice Hill
Keaton Mitchell
Patrick Ricard
Keaton Mitchell is another short-term IR candidate, but for now, he makes it on the initial 53-man roster, which is impressive for a UDFA rookie.
Wide Receiver (6)
Nelson Agholor
Rashod Bateman
Odell Beckham Jr.
Devin Duvernay
Zay Flowers
Tylan Wallace
This was pretty expected. Tylan Wallace made it over Laquon Treadwell, who said he will get back to the practice squad with the Ravens.
Tight End (3)
Mark Andrews
Charlie Kolar
Isaiah Likely
This had been locked in for a bit.
Offensive Line (9)
Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu
Ben Cleveland
Daniel Faalele
Tyler Linderbaum
Patrick Mekari
Morgan Moses
Kevin Zeitler
John Simpson
Ronnie Stanley
The question was mainly whether they would keep Sam Mustipher as the tenth offensive lineman or not. Ben Cleveland was also close to being on that roster edge.
Defensive Line (9)
Broderick Washington
Jadeveon Clowney
Malik Hamm
Travis Jones
Justin Madubuike
David Ojabo
Odafe Oweh
Michael Pierce
Tavius Robinson
The Baltimore Ravens kept just four interior defensive linemen, but both Brent Urban and Angelo Blackson did not need to clear waivers, so it would be easy for both to circle back after the team places a few players on short-term IR.
Linebacker (5)
Malik Harrison
Del'Shawn Phillips
Patrick Queen
Trenton Simpson
Roquan Smith
Del'Shawn Phillips seemingly locked a spot down a few weeks ago.
Defensive Back (11)
Ar'Darius Washington
Damarion Williams
Jalyn Armour-Davis
Ronald Darby
Kyle Hamilton
Marlon Humphrey
Arthur Maulet
Brandon Stephens
Geno Stone
Marcus Williams
Rock Ya-Sin
The Baltimore Ravens kept an unprecedented eight cornerbacks, and they still cut rookie draft pick Kyu Blu Kelly. Both Pepe Williams and Arthur Maulet are IR candidates, so they will get some defensive line depth by losing cornerback depth.
Specialists (3)
Justin Tucker
Jordan Stout
Tyler Ott
