Ravens Loaded for Super Bowl Run, but Injuries Loom Large

As the Baltimore Ravens prepare for their 2025 training camp, the team is brimming with optimism and high expectations. After boasting one of the more impressive rosters in the NFL last season, general manager Eric DeCosta has further bolstered the team's firepower.

The Ravens used their draft picks to select Georgia safety Malaki Starks and Marshall pass rusher Mike Green, adding even more talent to both sides of the ball. They then made a splash in free agency, signing Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and cornerback Jaire Alexander to round out their roster.

With this loaded lineup, the Ravens are widely regarded as one of the most complete teams in the league and a top contender for the Super Bowl. However, the team's biggest hurdle may be staying healthy, as they have been hindered by injuries in recent years.

Just this offseason, safety Ar'Darius Washington, who enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2024, suffered an Achilles injury and is expected to miss most of the upcoming season. Additionally, third-round pick Emery Jones Jr., who was expected to compete for a starting offensive line spot, will miss the start of training camp due to a shoulder injury.

The pressure is now on head coach John Harbaugh and star quarterback Lamar Jackson to finally deliver a Super Bowl appearance for the Ravens. After several postseason trips that have not led to a championship game, the time is now for this talented roster to capitalize and bring home the Lombardi Trophy.
