Most important roster battles to watch during Ravens vs. Redskins The Ravens will face the Redskins on Thursday night in the final game of the preseason. Here are the most important position battles to watch before the final roster is decided:Tim White vs. Janarion Grant PRBaltimore has one more game to decide who will return kicks for them to start the season. The battle is currently between undrafted rookie Janarion Grant and second-year player Tim White. Grant has looked more explosive so far this preseason Cheap C.J. Mosley Jersey , but neither player has taken hold of the job just yet. A fumble from both White and Grant against Indianapolis kept the race even tighter. Both players are also fighting for the last wide receiver spot on the depth chart. Although Grant received the majority of the snaps at returner against Miami, White had a much better game on offense with three receptions for 70 yards. This battle will ultimately be determined by punt return ability, however. Grant and White should both see extensive playing time against Washington.Breshad Perriman vs. Jordan Lasley WRThe top four wide receiver spots are set in stone and another spot will most likely go to a designated returner. The Ravens usually carry a maximum of six receivers, so the battle for the final spot will be between Breshad Perriman and Jordan Lasley. Neither Lasley or Perriman have had particularly impressive preseasons, though both have certainly flashed at times. Lasley is coming off of a solid game against the Dolphins with three receptions for 30 yards. However, in the previous game against the Colts Womens Justin Tucker Jersey , Lasley dropped a wide open touchdown pass. Both Lasley and Perriman have struggled catching the ball, Perriman dropped his first target in the preseason resulting in an interception against Chicago. Perriman had a big game against Los Angeles with three catches for 71 yards and a touchdown. A former first-round pick, Perriman is entering the final year of his contract after Baltimore declined to pick up his fifth-year option. Meanwhile, Lasley is in the first year of his contract. Lasley also plays special teams whereas Perriman does not. Baltimore could in fact carry seven receivers and keep both Perriman and Lasley, however, it is unlikely at this point.Maxx Williams vs. Darren Waller TE With Hayden Hurst sidelined for the first few weeks of the season Joe Flacco Jersey , the Ravens will have to keep either Maxx Williams or Darren Waller as a third tight end until Hurst returns. Williams is entering his fourth and final year of his contract after being selected in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft by Baltimore. While suffering several injuries and never quite living up to high expectations, Williams has still been a solid contributor over the years, particularly in the running game. Under tight ends coach Greg Roman, run blocking is a highly desired skill. Waller just recently returned from a year-long suspension for violation of the league’s substance abuse policy. Waller was originally drafted as a wide receiver in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He has been suspended twice since being drafted and has only caught 12 passes for 103 yards and two touchdowns. Williams is the better blocker of the two and is more reliable despite his injury history. Waller is one of the most athletic players on offense, however, and is a potential mismatch nightmare for opposing linebackers and safeties. Both Williams and Waller should receive plenty of playing time in the final preseason game. The Baltimore Ravens suffered a heartbreaking 23-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. In the first quarter of that game Youth John Brown Jersey , Flacco appeared to have sustained a reported hip injury. He continued to play through the apparent injury, but the Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec is reporting that Flacco’s status for Week 11 is uncertain.NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is also reporting that Flacco is “having tests to determine the severity” of this reported hip injury. Fortunately for the Ravens and Joe Flacco, they have their bye this week. Baltimore’s next game is not until November 18th, which could give Lamar Jackson more time to practice with the starters if he has to start while also giving Flacco more time to recover. The decision on which quarterback will be the starter will be solely based on Flacco’s health. Despite struggling in the past three games, Flacco is on pace to have one of his best seasons statistically. He currently is on pace to finish the season with approximately 4,382 yards Youth Matt Skura Jersey , which would mark the second time in his career that he has surpassed the 4,000 yard feat in a single season. Flacco has also thrown 12 touchdowns to six interceptions.Although Flacco’s stats would suggest that he is having one of the best seasons of his 11-year career, the Ravens’ offense has struggled with consistency for much of the year. They started the season red-hot as they were a historical 13-for-13 in the red zone at one point, but since then they have not had a ton of success in that area. Against the Steelers in Week 9, Baltimore finished one-for-four in the red zone.The Ravens will return to the practice field next week, and the biggest question will be Flacco’s participation levels.If Flacco is unable to play Youth Michael Crabtree Jersey , this would mark the seventh regular season of his career that he did not start for the Ravens since 2008. It would also be Lamar Jackson’s first NFL start. Jackson has only attempted 12 passes this season while completing 7 of them for 87 yards and a touchdown. He has also amassed 139 rushing yards and a touchdown. Regardless of who the starting quarterback will be in Week 11, Baltimore’s offense desperately needs to find consistency. With a terrible 1-3 record in the AFC North and an overall record of 4-5, the Ravens desperately need to hit the ground running after their bye week.
