- Baltimore's offensive line was the spot to watch. According to the depth chart, the starting line would be left tackle Ronnie Stanley, left guard Andrew Vorhees, center Tyler Linderbaum, right guard Daniel Faalele, and right tackle Patrick Mekari. It's Vorhees' first season on the field and Faalele has made one career start in two years. Mekari has made 36 starts across the offensive line in his five seasons and is a reliable veteran with second-round rookie Roger Rosengarten behind him.
- With that said, Head Coach John Harbaugh said there could still be a rotation at some spots. Harbaugh did not declare his starting offensive line. The depth chart lists Rosengarten as Mekari's top backup, Ben Cleveland as Faalele's backup, and Sala Aumavae-Laulu as Vorhees' No. 2. Josh Jones backs up Ronnie Stanley, and rookie Nick Samac emerged to be Linderbaum's understudy, freeing Mekari to play tackle.
- Travis Jones is listed as a starting defensive end, an indication that he'll have a larger role in Year 3 after starting zero games as a sophomore. Broderick Washington is backing up defensive tackle Justin Madubuike and nose tackle Michael Pierce. Brent Urban backs up Jones.
- The Ravens' secondary is stacked. Not surprisingly, Marlon Humphrey and Brandon Stephens are the starting cornerbacks. Rookie first-round pick Nate Wiggins is listed behind Humphrey.
- Veteran safety Eddie Jackson is Kyle Hamilton's backup at strong safety, and Ar'Darius Washington is listed behind Marcus Williams at free safety. Rookie Beau Brade is at free safety with Sanoussi Kane at strong safety.
- Deonte Harty is the top kickoff returner and punt returner. Justice Hill is No. 2 on kickoffs and Tylan Wallace is the backup on punt returns.
