Ravens 53-man roster prediction following the rookie minicamp

Yahoo Sports

The Baltimore Ravens are in Phase Three of their offseason workout program and will add 11 NFL Draft selections and 19 undrafted free agents to that training regimen. The current roster includes key veterans, new additions, and players battling for early positioning heading into OTAs scheduled for May 18-19, May 21, May 26-28, June 1-2, and June 4. The mandatory minicamp will be held on June 9-11 before the team breaks until mid-July.

Adam Randall offers more of a dual-threat versatility and could make things difficult for Rasheen Ali.

The Ravens picked up Zay Flowers' $27.

3 million fifth-year option after back-to-back Pro Bowls. Rashod Bateman is under contract through 2029 and has been the subject of trade talks following an injury-filled 2025 season. Devontez Walker is a touchdown machine but remains unproven heading into Year 3, and elite competition has joined the roster.

LaJohntay Wester will return punts, ensuring his roster spot. Tight end: 4 #80 Durham Smythe #85 Josh Cuevas #88 Matthew Hibner #89 Mark Andrews Comments: The Mark Andrews era will continue in Baltimore, after the Ravens agreed to terms on a three-year, $39. 3 million extension with the franchise's all-time leading catcher.
