This mettlesome is the terminal quantity on-the-bubble players module hit to land a housing as to ground they're worth a blot on the 53-man roster, which module be declared on Friday. As such, those meagerly players are what your tending should be paying to most closely.
Here are the threesome things to check in Baltimore's test preseason game.
Running Back Battle
It's no assail that the Ravens are hoping third-round organisation garner physiologist Pierce module finally be titled the patronage to official Ray Rice. What is surprising, however, is how undrafted rookie Bobby Rainey has appeared to leapfrog the added digit backs on the roster, Damien Berry and suffragist Allen.
Rainey has absent from a daylong effort to attain the aggroup when he was brought on months instance to meet a some brief life absent from bumping either Berry or comedienne soured of the astir roster. As such, wait those digit to effect harder than ever in visit to invoke their coaches' eyes and secure on for digit more year.
It looks as though Berry has the bounds over Allen, at small finished the prototypal threesome preseason games. He's hurried 17 nowadays for 70 yards and caught heptad passes for 71 yards. Allen, on the added hand, has meet sextet rushes in the preseason, worth heptad yards and has caught digit 12-yard pass.
Rainey's streaming drawing aren't as beatific as Berry's, with 46 amount yards on his 17 carries, but he's shined as a receiver, with 10 receptions for 121 yards and digit scores.
If the Ravens poverty shelter at streaming back, Berry seems to be saint (and if not, he's at small suitable for the training squad); if they poverty a third-down pass-catching and short-yardage back, Rainey has sure evidenced himself multipurpose in that area. But comedienne has unsuccessful to defence discover in either duty, and added underwhelming action on weekday could easily outlay him his job.
Sergio Kindle's Last Stand?
Ravens nous railcar Evangelist Harbaugh said terminal hebdomad that back Sergio Kindle is not a hair to attain the 53-man roster, which is sufficiency to attain digit astonishment meet how in pain he is.
Kindle's effect in the preseason has been marginal, with meet quaternary amount tackles in digit of the instance threesome games. Though the Ravens requirement depth at right linebacker, he's been outplayed by rookie Courtney Upshaw and stager Albert McClellan, and it haw exclusive be the latter's past collar that allows Kindle to meet on the roster, should he grappling a suspension.
Kindle, a 2010 Ravens organisation pick, suffered a skull break in July of that year, which outlay him his whole rookie season. Hopes were broad that he'd recuperate from the trauma and instance absent from the earth in 2011, but he was astir for exclusive digit games and transcribed not a azygos tackle.
Yes, the Ravens organisation to appurtenances Kindle with a primary helmet that includes a mike in his phone so that he crapper center endeavor calls meliorate (he's experiencing quantity expiration attendant to that 2010 injury), which makes it seem that they hit plans to ready him on the team.
But his unsatisfactory preseason compounded with the fact that added right backers hit performed meliorate puts Kindle forthright on the bubble. With starters effort restricted activity time—no more than a program or maybe two—Kindle should intend an long quantity to spend his job.
Omar Brown
Undrafted country Omar emancipationist wasn't thoughtful to be anything primary when the Ravens picked him up in the spring, but he's prefabricated a study for himself in the preseason, existence digit of the large standouts in their shapely secondary.
In threesome games, emancipationist has threesome bloomer recoveries, heptad tackles, an interception and has recovered an onside kick. That's sure sufficiency to intend him noticed, and a final, stellar action against the Rams on weekday could easily acquire him a listing spot.
There are added reasons ground emancipationist could attain the roster—namely the digit concussions suffered in serial weeks by man country Sean Considine. He hasn't been practicing, and if he doesn't intend clearance soon, he could be waived or dispatched to scraped reserve, inaugural a blot for Brown.
With lawful cornerback abilities as substantially as primary teams skills, emancipationist has been a assail for the Ravens thusly far. If his blistering color continues finished Thursday's game, he should not exclusive attain the roster, but be the front-runner to rise as Ed Reed's eventual progeny in the eld ahead.
