The Baltimore Ravens are not messing around with early-season adjustments, officially bringing back cornerback Lardarius Webb Jr. and adding veteran offensive lineman Chuma Edoga to their practice squad. It shows they are already looking to strengthen key positions, even before things truly heat up.
The Webb Jr. Comeback Is Exactly What You Love To See
Webb Jr.’s return is a wild one. He was actually waived during the Ravens’ initial roster cuts, but those ‘encouraging flashes’ he showed in training camp and the preseason clearly stuck with the front office. We’re talking about a guy who dropped two tackles and a forced fumble in the preseason finale against the Washington Commanders! That’s the kind of play that strengthens a case for ‘continued development,’ you know? And talk about a family connection! His dad, Lardarius Webb Sr., spent his entire nine-year NFL career right there in Baltimore, even helping them snag Super Bowl XLVII. That legacy is real, and now Jr. gets a chance to build on it.
Veteran OL Chuma Edoga Brings Instant Experience
Then there’s the addition of Chuma Edoga, a veteran offensive lineman who brings some serious experience. The dude is 29 years old, has appeared in 62 games, and made 25 starts across seven NFL seasons. That’s not just a warm body; that’s valuable versatility right there, with experience at both tackle spots and guard. Plus, he’s got a leg up on learning the system because he worked with offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford back in 2022 with the Atlanta Falcons. That kind of familiarity helps a veteran transition fast, and that’s huge for depth right now.
These moves are all about those ‘early-season adjustments’ we expect from smart organizations. Baltimore is clearly shoring up its ‘developmental secondary’ and beefing up its ‘offensive line depth’ right out of the gate. Keeping an eye on these practice squad guys is crucial; they’re often just one snap away from being thrust into the spotlight. Let’s see how these additions pay off as the season rolls on!
