Preseason football is back in Baltimore, and while it may not mean much to the starters merely looking to get in rhythm, Thursday's game could be a key factor in determining position battles across the Raves roster.
A win in Canton last week was capped off with Ray Lewis' Hall of Fame induction and memories of a legendary career for the middle linebacker. Now the Ravens will return home for the second of five preseason games with all attention turned toward the future.
With 12 draft picks, 17 undrafted free agents and numerous position battles on the roster, plenty still needs to be sorted out before the roster is cut down to 53 ahead of Week 1 of the regular season, which begins a month from today at home against the Buffalo Bills.
