The Baltimore Ravens have completed nearly every offseason evaluation available to them. They have worked through training camp, two preseason games and three joint practices. One significant evaluation remains. Baltimore will host the Washington Commanders in Friday night's preseason finale before reducing its roster to 53 players by Sunday at 6 p.m. ET.
The Ravens have established starters at most positions, but several important competitions remain unresolved. Some will determine starting jobs or game-day roles. Others could decide which players earn the final places on the roster.
Here are five Ravens position battles that remain unsettled.
Danny Pinter appeared to be the favorite at center until suffering a torn patellar tendon during Baltimore's joint practice with Minnesota. Pinter was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, officially ending his season. That leaves Pocic and Gwyn competing for the job between John Simpson and rookie right guard Vega Ioane. Pocic offers significantly more NFL starting experience, but he spent much of the offseason recovering from an Achilles injury. Gwyn has received valuable repetitions in practice but must demonstrate that he can consistently handle protection calls and meet the physical demands of the position.
Baltimore's unofficial depth chart lists Pocic and Gwyn as co-starters. Their work against Washington could provide the final evidence the coaching staff needs.
