He has a shoulder injury and he’s been injury plagued since the team selected Daniels in the fourth round in 2006. Look for a release/injury settlement for Daniels. You may even see the team in the market for a fullback. The club isn’t thrilled with Justin Green and you may see FB Le’Ron McClain used more as a runner and a receiver during the season. Green isn’t your prototypical fullback so don’t be surprised to see the Ravens combing through the waiver wire/free agent list for one in the near future.
The Ravens lack a big play receiver. Some believe that Demetrius Williams could be that guy but the third year player can’t get on the practice field due to a lingering issue with his Achilles. Derrick Mason is solid but the team’s No. 1 pick from 2005 Mark Clayton, has not lived up to expectations. Some believe that he and Mason are far too much alike and there’s really only room for one possession receiver in Cameron’s offense. The truth be told, the team lacks a No. 1 receiver and their top 3 pass catchers are really no more than No. 2 receivers. The club is hoping that one of their two WR rookies can step up. The Ravens hope that Marcus Smith and/or Justin Harper can become a dependable red zone threat.
Tight end is a big needfor the team. Todd Heap looks better than ever in camp and has taken a huge number of snaps due to the season ending injury to Quinn Sypniewski and the slow-to-heal Daniel Wilcox. Wilcox’ surgically repaired toe has kept him on the sidelines throughout OTA’s and summer camp. Journeymen TE’s Adam Bergen and Adam Walker have been adequate at best. An injury to Heap leaves the team very vulnerable, particularly in an offense like Cam Cameron’s that relies heavily on tight ends. The Ravens are watching the waiver wire closely for competent tight ends. They have to – Heap has failed to finish two of the last four seasons missing a total of 20 games.
