OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Something quietly changed on the Baltimore Ravens' depth chart during the bye: Chris Givens is now listed as a starting wide receiver alongside Kamar Aiken.
While the depth chart in the team's weekly release is considered unofficial, this is an indication that Givens should be considered the frontrunner over Marlon Brown and Jeremy Ross in taking over Steve Smith's starting spot. Smith, Baltimore's leading receiver, suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in the last game and has since been placed on injured reserve.
