Overview

  • The Ravens have allowed franchise-record points, rushing yards and touchdown passes through five games and rank last in points allowed per game, according to ESPN.
  • Orr said he is unconcerned about job security and is emphasizing takeaways, block destruction and more creative pass-rush plans to jump-start the unit.
  • John Harbaugh reiterated that firing his defensive coordinator is not the answer, and multiple players said execution has been the bigger issue.
  • Baltimore traded Odafe Oweh to the Chargers for safety Alohi Gilman and signed C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the practice squad, moves intended to stabilize a depleted secondary and maximize Kyle Hamilton’s versatility.
  • Injuries to key defenders, including season-ending losses such as Nnamdi Madubuike and Ar’Darius Washington, and an offense struggling to sustain drives have compounded the defensive slide ahead of Sunday’s game against the Rams.
