After a season ending injury to safety Matt Elam, who will step up to fill his role? Three young, unproven guys will finally get their shot to increase their role on defense.
I really hated to see Elam go down with that injury. I, along with many others, thought he might turn the corner this year and be vastly improved. Although the starting spot most likely would've went to Will Hill, Elam would've provided strong depth at the safety position. Now with the injury, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that they plan to stick with the current roster and employ a "next man up" philosophy.
