Magicgames II » The Ravens have made a roster move on Saturday

morning as they have activated cornerback Maurice Canady. The corresponding move was waiving offensive linemen Hroniss Grasu. This was an expected move for the Ravens as Canady returned to practice last week. He was one of two players on injured reserve-designated to return. Canady’s short NFL career has been ravaged by injuries. In three seasons Youth Orlando Brown Jersey , he has only played in 13 regular season games. Although he has proven that he can be a serviceable cornerback, Canady’s biggest issue has been his health. He played in one game in 2018 before being placed on injured reserve. In the Ravens’ Week 1 win over the Buffalo Bills, Canady posted four tackles.As for Grasu, he was signed during the season as a reserve offensive lineman. His positional versatility was enticing as he could play center or either guard position. Despite center being his most natural position, Grasu has only played guard for the Ravens. He was active for three games and started in Week 8. He struggled mightily in his lone start, and he eventually fell down the depth chart. Jermaine Eluemunor jumped ahead of him, which made Grasu expendable. Having nine offensive linemen on a 53-man roster is not abnormal, but it may not be ideal. Another roster move that could be looming is the activation of Kenneth Dixon, who was the other IR-DTR player. Baltimore has until December 7th to activate him. Otherwise, he reverts to injured reserve for the rest of the season. With four running backs already on the roster, it is hard to predict who will be waived/cut to make room for Dixon. They could carry five running backs, but can they afford to do that?The other injured players that Baltimore may have had to make a decision on were the three players that started the season on the PUP list — Bam Bradley, Jaylen Hill, and Quincy Adeboyejo. Hill was the only player on this list that returned to practice Stitched Lamar Jackson Jersey , but head coach John Harbaugh provided a not-so-promising update on Friday. “They’re not ruled out; they just have to be ready to go, so he’s not ready to go yet. We tried to bring Jaylen [Hill] back, and he had a little trouble with his hip, so he may actually get surgery on his hip – we’ll see – coming off the knee,” Harbaugh said, via the team’s official website. “He’s not ready to practice yet. I don’t think he’ll play this year, this season, Adeboyejo, but to get him back for three weeks of practice would be a bonus. Then, if you had to play him, you have the emergency, you could if he was ready. But, you can’t bring him back until he’s ready to practice. He’s not ready yet.”Analyzing the Ravens 2018 win total odds With the Baltimore Ravens coming off of a 9-7 season and missing the playoffs for the third consecutive year, it is tough to get a read on how their final record will shake out in 2018. Some analysts like their chances to rebound and be in the playoff hunt Youth Lamar Jackson Jersey , while others see them as a candidate to backslide, since the Ravens face a tougher schedule this season. A look at the win total Vegas odds makers have set is a way for fans to gauge how the experts view a team. This also includes the option for people to wager on the odds to finish over or under that projected total, which gives a deeper perspective on how the public anticipates the squad to fare against expectations.Unfortunately, the website OddShark’s does not show a definitive outlook for Baltimore either way, setting their win line at eight flat. However, the Ravens are slightly favored to hit the over at -145, while being set at +125 to be under eight. This is a pretty middle of the pack viewpoint for a team that’s made some nice offensive upgrades, though it seems fair considering how little they have moved the needle nationally the last several years. For reference, they were one of four teams projected for exactly eight wins along side the Titans, Seahawks and Raiders.Back in June, CBS Sports’ Will Brinson analyzed the Ravens upcoming season in the context of their win odds. He starts by giving a quick recap of the offseason, including his thoughts on the moves:Brinson then goes on to look at how a relatively difficult schedule may end up tipping the scales one way or the other for the Ravens:Brinson ultimately goes on to make his pick, the Ravens hitting the over: Brinson’s assessment is a valid one. As much as the schedule should be more difficult, the team will be better this season as the addition of new offensive weapons and a healthy Joe Flacco should make a difference.Whether or not going over eight wins makes them a playoff team is tough to say. They won nine contests last season Stitched Hayden Hurst Jersey , which was not enough for a postseason berth, and the AFC North should prove to be one of the tougher divisions in football this season.For reference, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati’s win totals are set at 10.5 and 6.5 respectively, with both teams likely to hit the over mark. Cleveland sits at 5.5, which appears high for a team that was win-less last year, but an upgraded Browns roster winning six games would not be all that far fetched.In the end, quality teams produce even with a tough schedule, and if the Ravens are a strong team, they should be able to take care of business. This does not mean a double digit win total next year is anticipated (due to some of the scheduling gauntlets they will face), but expect them to hit over eight this season.Is eight a reasonable win over/under for this team?
