Going into this offseason, it was presumed the Ravens’ starting linebackers would be Terrell Suggs, Ray Lewis, Jameel McClain and Paul Kruger. Then the draft came and the Ravens selected Courtney Upshaw out of Alabama.
The big blow came right around the same time when Suggs tore his Achilles’ tendon. That’s when the look of the starting lineup really changed.
Suggs will miss...

Ten years ago you didn’t think twice about paying a versatile player like Ray Rice top market value. Given his age, his production, and his contribution in an offense, a team wouldn’t balk at his price tag.
But times are a changing.

After recovering from a fractured skull two summers ago, Ravens outside linebacker Sergio Kindle is hoping to earn some playing time in 2012. Kindle is still coping with hearing loss in his left ear following a fall down a flight of stairs in 2010. This has made it tough for him to hear calls, and he's yet to deal with crowd noise.

The usual rap on OTA minicamps is you can't learn much about a player if he isn't wearing pads or being hit---or at least "worrying" about being hit.That may be true.

Last offseason, Bryant McKinnie showed up to Vikings camp so overweight out of the lockout, almost 400 pounds, that the Vikings cut him even though they didn’t have a true replacement on the roster. This led to them having to sign the mediocre Charlie Johnson to be their left tackle and he predictably struggled, leading to the Vikings using the 4th overall pick on Matt Kalil.
McKinnie...
