The Ravens are entering the 2023 NFL season with growing expectations as an under-the-radar Super Bowl contender with just as many questions as star players.

Lamar Jackson returns with a massive chip on his shoulders after signing a 5-year, $260 million contract extension during the offseason.

Critics and pundits wonder if Odell Beckham Jr. can stay healthy, while Rashod Bateman will look to adjust his role again after adding Zay Flowers.

Defensively, Jadeveon Clowney and Ronald Darby were late summer additions, and the team will enter Week 1 with Marlon Humphrey’s status uncertain.

With preparation for the Texans underway, we’re looking at a roster comparison between the 2022 defense and the retooled, 2023 version.

DL

The group lost Campbell to free agency, but they’re a year wiser and primed for a huge season.

OLB

MLB

Baltimore traded for Roquan Smith, so he wasn’t on the initial 53-man roster at the end of last summer. Baltimore added Clemson’s Trenton Simpson in the draft, while Del’Shawn Phillips played his way onto the roster.

CB

Baltimore moved on from Marcus Peters, signing Rock Ya-Sin in free agency. The team then added Ronald Darby after Marlon Humphrey had foot surgery.
