Baltimore Ravens second-year inside linebacker Josh Ross didn't stand out at last week's mandatory minicamp, and he'll be facing an uphill battle to make the team in 2023 after having a nice training camp last year as an undrafted free agent. Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen are the starters at linebacker, while Malik Harrison and third-round rookie Trenton Simpson figure to be the top backups. If the Ravens take five inside linebackers into the regular season, Ross will have to beat out Del'Shawn Phillips and Kristian Welch, who the Ravens value for their special teams contributions. The 23-year-old only played in two games in his rookie season in 2022 and finished with two total tackles.
