Ravens’ 53-man roster vs. Jaguars: News and notes for Week 15

We’re looking at an updated version of the Baltimore Ravens 53-man roster for their Sunday night matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15

The Ravens (10-3) enter Week 15 as the AFC’s No. 1 seed, and the team has arrived in Jacksonville to face the Jaguars (8-5) on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”

Baltimore can clinch a playoff spot with a win, providing more momentum toward a potential first-round bye and home-field advantage in the postseason.

Jacksonville will look to rebound after suffering their second loss in six days, as quarterback Trevor Lawrence finished 28 of 50 for 257 yards and three interceptions.

With final preparation underway for both teams, here is the Ravens’ 53-man roster for Sunday night.

Ravens have 4 players make a PFF ranking of the top 50 pending NFL free agents

The Baltimore Ravens have Jadeveon Clowney and Justin Madubuike among 4 players named to a PFF ranking of the top 50 NFL free agents for 2024

General manager Eric DeCosta, Ozzie Newsome’s successor, has grown increasingly aggressive in handing out contracts, and he’s now built a Super Bowl hopeful for 2023 and beyond.

Baltimore currently has about $6,150,461 in cap space per Over The Cap, and they’re spending about $120+ million plus on the offensive side of the football.

The Ravens also have 27 players scheduled to hit free agency, and some tough decisions will be made regarding who returns to Baltimore.

PFF recently did an early ranking of the top 50 free agents for 2024, and John Harbaugh’s squad had two players make the list or land on the honorable mentions.

The overall positional spending will change in the coming years after Lamar Jackson signed a massive five-year, $260 million contract extension, making him among the three highest-paid players on average in NFL history.

Ravens rank No. 6 in total yards per game, Todd Monken deserves credit

Unlike in previous years, the Ravens’ offensive attack has been multi-faceted. All skills positions have performed well, making it difficult for opposing defenses to prepare for them week-to-week. Rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers is averaging 10.5 yards per reception with just 64 catches on the season. Odell Beckham Jr. has recorded two 100 receiving yards games and the team has 21 rushing touchdowns on the season.

Monken’s ability to adjust the offensive strategy has positively impacted the play of quarterback Lamar Jackson as well. Jackson is averaging 7.8 yards per pass attempt in 2023 and leads the team in rushing yards.  Jackson’s the focal point of  Monken’s offense and their rush-by-committee has helped rookie running back Keaton Mitchell get quality reps to build a sense of involvement.

Having won a National Championship at the University of Georgia, Monken is prospering under the leadership of head coach John Harbaugh. Offensive improvements should be greatly accredited to his dynamic play-calling.
