WATCH: Ravens CB Damarion Williams sacks Eagles QB Kenny Pickett during preseason opener

Preseason games provide third and fourth stringers with a wonderful opportunity to make big plays and have huge moments.

There is actually an upside to having most of the starters, and oftentimes many of the second-string players, sit out NFL preseason games these days.

And it’s beyond the obvious benefit- ensuring your key players are limited to injury risks.

Preseason games provide third and fourth-stringers a beautiful opportunity to make big plays and have monumental moments.

For an example, see this sack by Ravens cornerback Damarion Williams on Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett.

Williams is currently behind Arthur Maulet and Marlon Humphrey on the depth chart.

He may not get much playing time this season, and when he does, how likely is it that defensive coordinator Zach Orr will call a CB Blitz for him?

Pickett was the starter at quarterback for the Eagles, who naturally kept Jalen Hurts out of the game.

The two teams went into the halftime intermission knotted up at 6.

John Harbaugh says it’s a big year for cornerbacks Jalyn Armour-Davis, Damarion Williams

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said it’s a big year for cornerbacks Jalyn Armour-Davis and Pepe Williams

The Baltimore Ravens have a massive amount of talent in their secondary. They recently signed safety Eddie Jackson to pair up with Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams, but their cornerback room also looks to be one of the deepest in the NFL.

Marlon Humphrey, Brandon Stephens, and Nate Wiggins headline Baltimore’s cornerbacks, but a few players fighting for roster spots are Jalyn Armour-Davis and Pepe Williams. The 2022 fourth-round picks will need an impressive training camp and preseason to show what they can do, and head coach John Harbaugh called it a “big year” for both players.

“Yes. It’s a big year for both of those guys. ‘Pepe’ [Damarion Williams] and Jalyn [Armour-Davis], and they’re both practicing so well right now, that’s the thing. I’m excited. [The] first three days in, they’ve both been excellent. Jalyn has made numerous plays on the ball, ‘Pepe’ hasn’t had those chances, but he’s been in the right spots all the time, moving well. ‘Pepe’ is finally healthy. Jalyn is finally healthy. We’ll see what they can do, but I’m very confident that they’re going to do well.”

Both Armour-Davis and Williams have immense potential but haven’t been able to stay healthy and on the field in their first two seasons. The pair could be fighting for only one roster spot, so the competition is expected to remain hot and fresh over the next few weeks.
