CB Tavon Young
Injuries are so rarely the fault of the player but that doesn’t stop frequently injured players from getting the boot eventually. Young, when healthy, is one of the best slot cornerbacks in the league. The problem is that he’s rarely been healthy.
After getting a big payday last offseason, Young was expected to lock down slot receivers and build arguably the best secondary in the league. But for the second time in four years, Young found himself on injured reserve and didn’t play a single regular-season snap for Baltimore.
With Young set to cost the Ravens $8 million against the cap in 2020 and with a way out of the contract next offseason, Young absolutely has to show up this season. That’s even more important with Brandon Carr now off the roster, meaning there’s less depth behind Young. While Young missing extended time yet again wouldn’t be an absolute killer for the Ravens’ defense, it would certainly stretch them thinner than they’d like.
