Ravens consider free agency move after inside linebacker injury

Summary

The Baltimore Ravens may pursue a free agency option following an injury to inside linebacker Jay Higgins IV during a preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles on August 15. Higgins was sidelined with a concussion, adding to the Ravens' existing concerns at linebacker, as they await the return of Teddye Buchanan from injury. The team is exploring available free agents, including notable names like Bobby Wagner, a 10-time Pro Bowler, to bolster their depth in the position. The decision must be made swiftly to ensure adequate support for All-Pro Roquan Smith, who leads the linebacker rotation as the season approaches.
