Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports that the Baltimore Ravens plan to use newly signed wide receiver Jeremy Maclin in the slot often this upcoming season after the team lost their three most-used slot receivers.
WR Steve Smith Sr. retired this past offseason, WR Kamar Aiken signed with the Colts in free agency, and TE Dennis Pitta re-injured his hip in OTAs which led to his release.
Maclin began running at least 20 percent of his routes from the slot in 2012, and he has led his team in yards per route run from the slot every year he has been active since then.
