It will be the first time in 10 months we’ve heard from Baltimore Ravens GM Eric DeCosta and here’s what questions he should expect to hear

Health

Baltimore — knock on wood — was relatively healthy last season when compared to the last decade for the franchise. They had some injuries come up at the worst time but they didn’t see nearly as many key players head to injured reserve as in previous years. Still, a few players have major or nagging injuries and it’ll be interesting to hear any updates DeCosta might have on those guys.

Cornerback Tavon Young missed all of last season with a neck injury. Surgery had been mentioned before as an option but both Young and Baltimore seemed to be holding out hope of the injury healing with time rather than under the knife. Young is a very important and highly-paid defender for the Ravens and his health coming into 2020 will be a main topic of discussion until he gets back on the field in pads.

Wide receiver Marquise Brown dealt with a foot injury dating all the way back to before the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine. Brown got surgery for a Lisfranc injury, ultimately missing the combine last year. It’s an injury, among others, that stuck with Brown throughout his entire rookie campaign and one he said kept him from truly being 100%. Finding out the status of his recovery would be nice, though I wouldn’t imagine much insight will be given until the players return for workouts.
