Mack’s dash
After appearing in just one game as a fifth-round rookie last season, Mack needs to show coaches he belongs on an NFL roster, because the team now has plenty of options to replace him.
Roster projection
In my latest projection, I guessed that seven defensive lineman would begin the season on the 53-man roster: Williams, Campbell, Wolfe, Ward, Madubuike, Ellis and Washington. The Ravens don’t typically carry that many players on the D-line, but Ellis provides veteran insurance at nose tackle and Ward’s a versatile player who can line up as an outside linebacker.
