AFC North: The rest
BALTIMORE RAVENS (5-11)
Last year: Ravens stumbled to their first losing season since coach John Harbaugh took over in 2008. Injuries began on the first day of training camp, when top draft pick WR Breshad Perriman tore a ligament in his knee that sidelined him the entire season. Injuries to LB Terrell Suggs, WR Steve Smith, RB Justin Forsett and QB Joe Flacco followed. Eight starters ended up on injured reserve.
Important additions: S Eric Weddle, WR Mike Wallace, TE Benjamin Watson, RB Trent Richardson, rookie OT Ronnie Stanley.
Important losses: OL Kelechi Osemele, LBs Courtney Upshaw and Daryl Smith, QB Matt Schaub, S Brynden Trawick, OT Eugene Monroe, DE Chris Canty.
Camp needs: Most of all, Ravens need to be healthy. Flacco returns from a knee injury that sidelined him over the final six weeks, and will be used sparingly in camp. Elsewhere, Ravens have several positions up for grabs. The release of Daryl Smith leaves LBs C.J. Mosley and Arthur Brown competing for playing time inside. Also, the secondary has a shortage of bodies.
Expectations: Ravens don’t intend to endure a rebuilding season. Harbaugh will take it easy on veterans coming back from injury, and newcomers have already gone through basics in minicamp. The hope is their additions outweigh losses and Baltimore will avoid the rash of injuries that helped ruin 2015. Also on the agenda is finding a way to improve a 5-9 record in games decided by eight points or fewer.
