Top 3 Baltimore Ravens to watch against Houston Texans in Week 1
1. Who will start at cornerback for the Baltimore Ravens?
One of the biggest questions this week will be who the heck is playing cornerback for the Baltimore Ravens. They technically have eight options right now, although Marlon Humphrey will not suit up for this game. On the outside, they have Ronald Darby, Rock Ya-Sin, Jalyn Armour-Davis, Brandon Stephens, and Kevon Seymour. In the slot, they have Arthur Maulet and Ar'Darius Washington.
So, who are the three that start? Maulet has not practiced enough, and Washington looked good enough that you have to assume that he will get the nod in the slot. Considering this will be his first career start, this should be worth watching.
On the outside, it could be anyone. Rock Ya-Sin should start if healthy, but he has not been healthy recently. Ronald Darby should start if he has the defense down, but he has been signed for less than a month. All three of Armour-Davis, Stephens, and Seymour got significant work in the preseason, and all of them started at some point this summer. Will the Baltimore Ravens all on them again to make a regular-season start?
Beyond that, how will this group look if they cannot even get sorted out to find three starters? There are plenty of questions in this room.
