3. Can the Baltimore Ravens establish starters at cornerback?
The Baltimore Ravens cornerback room is a mess. Luckily, the team has not placed Marlon Humphrey on the IR. So, he may miss a week or two, but that appears to be the extent. Looking at the Baltimore Ravens from a season-long perspective, you have to wonder how the cornerback room will shake out this year.
In week one, they have four options to start on the outside. Rock Ya-Sin has not been healthy but should be back. Still, if not it will be Ronald Darby and Brandon Stephens with Kevon Seymour mixed in. The hope is that by week three, they have seen enough of these four to know that one of them can start across from Marlon Humphrey for the rest of the season. Even if they had to piece it together with a few starts from each, if they could feel good about their number two all season, it would go a long way. More than that, who will start in the slot?
Ar'Darius Washington is probably the week one option, will that stay the same? Arthur Maulet is closer to health than Pepe Williams, does he get a shot? Do they activate Williams for a late-season run? The Ravens need to sort out this depth chart.
