Las Vegas Raiders 2021 Opponent Preview: Baltimore Ravens

Ravens Subtractions

As stated earlier, Brown was traded away to Kansas City, leaving the Ravens without their Pro Bowl left tackle for the 2021 season. He will be replaced by Villanueva, who was outstanding at protecting Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh and obviously has familiarity with the AFC North.

Baltimore also lost two players to the Raiders, as edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue and wideout Willie Snead join the Silver and Black in 2021. Ngakoue is going to be severely missed, and it will be interesting to see if the two rookies can step up and fill the void left by him joining Las Vegas on a long-term deal.

In addition, Matt Judon is gone, another solid edge rusher for Baltimore, and the offense also lost running back Mark Ingram and center Matt Skura. There is a lot of work that needs to be done with this Ravens roster, but there is a ton of talent left over for a team that went 11-5 this past season and made it to the Divisional Round.
