Green

It’s another sign the team isn’t necessarily confident in Jamal Lewis’ ankle. They will carry five tailbacks.

Green needs to tighten up his blocking skills. He could be counted on in short yardage situations.

Cody, a 2005 second-round pick, hyperextended his right knee May 20 and tore a small piece of cartilage. The Ravens have apparently not ruled out season-ending surgery.

Ogden hasn’t participated in any offseason work. The toe injury isn’t expected to sideline Ogden into the season. If fact, he may just have an agreement with the coaches to skip the first few weeks of camp. Dan Cody (knee), Mike Smith, and Justin Green (knee) may join Ogden on the camp PUP list.

Green is competing to start but will likely end up behind rookie Le’Ron McClain by Week 1. Sams appears likely to lose his duties to Yamon Figurs, who can actually play a position. Cody returns as a situational pass rusher.

When the Ravens need a bruising lead blocker, they’ll turn to rookie Le’Ron McClain. Green will catch passes, but isn’t a threat for goal-line carries.

The punishing fullback has also demonstrated an ability to catch passes. He should start over Justin Green for the Ravens this year. With all their draft picks signed, the Ravens will now focus on signing Terrell Suggs to a contract extension.
