Ravens Need Mosley Healthy for Playoff Push

Mosley did not miss a start in his first two NFL seasons after the Ravens made him the 17th overall pick in 2014. He made it through the first five weeks this season before a hamstring injury knocked him out of a 16-10 loss against Washington. 

The Ravens got off to a great start this season, winning their first three games and looking like they had returned close to form after last year's disappointing 5-11 record. They have since fallen back to earth with a 5-4 record, though that is good enough to lead the AFC North.

Veteran Albert McClellan will take over as the primary inside linebacker if Mosley is limited or forced to the sidelines in the future. McClellan has spent his entire career with the Ravens, understands the defensive system and has started eight of the team's first nine games.

Baltimore doesn't have the same defensive talent it once did, making Mosley's presence more vital than ever. He has led the team in tackles in each of the past two seasons and ranks second on the team with five passes defensed this season.
