Eric DeCosta adjusts Ravens roster depth ahead of the NFL season opener

General manager Eric DeCosta enters the 2026 NFL season with a restructured roster following the team's 8-9 finish last year. Heading into Sunday's season opener against the Indianapolis Colts, the Ravens emphasized depth at positions prone to injury, specifically along the defensive line and at cornerback. The team retained six defensive linemen, including the return of Calais Campbell, while managing Nnamdi Madubuike's recovery from a neck injury. Offensively, the Ravens face a transition on the interior line, where Jovaughn Gwyn prepares for his first career start at center. The current roster composition reflects lessons learned from previous seasons plagued by depth shortages. DeCosta prioritized pass rush stability by signing Trey Hendrickson after a potential trade for Maxx Crosby did not materialize.
