Three players to watch in Ravens' preseason finale

The Baltimore Ravens travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers in their preseason finale on Saturday. It provides the last opportunity for several players to prove themselves as starters or to make the 53-man roster.

With that in mind, here are three Ravens to watch.

Running back Rasheen Ali

Derrick Henry and Justice Hill are unarguably Baltimore's No. 1 and 2 running backs, but who will be the No. 3 option behind them is up for grabs, at least until Keaton Mitchell returns.

Many would think that Ali, the team's fifth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, would be the favorite, but his preseason production has been underwhelming.

In his debut, he had 10 rushes for 26 yards and one catch for four yards, and then last weekend, he didn't even show up on the stat sheet.

To make matters worse, the Ravens recently signed veteran running back John Kelly, who had five rushes for 21 yards and two catches for eight yards in the second preseason game.

It's still being determined how many opportunities Ali will receive on Saturday, but he must take advantage of whatever he gets to make the 53-man roster.

Wide receiver Anthony Miller

Miller has not played in a regular-season game since the 2021 season, but he joined the team just a couple of weeks ago and has a chance to make Baltimore's roster.

The 29-year-old didn't move the needle a ton against the Atlanta Falcons last weekend with just three catches for 16 yards, but a good performance on Saturday could be enough for him to make the roster.

Fourth-round rookie wide receiver Devontez Walker has been limited with a rib injury for much of August, which has created a path for a fringe receiver like Miller to make the team.

Wide receivers Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor and Tylan Wallace are locks, but whatever is available after them is there for the taking.

Cornerback Damarion Williams

The Ravens selected Williams in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but the first two years of his NFL career have been disappointing.

The 26-year-old had just 24 tackles and two passes defensed in 14 games as a rookie, and his 2023 season ended before it started after he had multiple ankle surgeries.

Williams has different plans for 2024, however, as he has put together an impressive couple of preseason performances with seven tackles (one for a loss), one sack, two quarterback hits and one pass defensed.

He is somewhat buried on the depth chart , but his chances of making the team have increased since veteran corner Arthur Maulet had arthroscopic knee surgery earlier this month.
