Trayvon Mullen - Picked up by Baltimore The Ravens claimed Mullen off waivers Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact Mullen played during eight of the first 14 weeks of the season with Arizona, but he was waived and subsequently claimed by Dallas in mid-December. The 2019 second-round pick was then let go Saturday after appearing in just one game for the Cowboys. Mullen now will head to the fourth team of his NFL career in Baltimore where he'll join up with his cousin Lamar Jackson, who is currently set to become an unrestricted free agent after missing the final six games of the season with a PCL sprain.

Lamar Jackson - Has support of Harbaugh, DeCosta Ravens coach John Harbaugh and GM Eric DeCosta both said Thursday that they expect Jackson (knee) to remain with the team, Hayes Gardner of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Rumors have been swirling about Jackson's potential departure from Baltimore, with the 26-year-old scheduled for unrestricted free agency this offseason after a PCL sprain kept him out for the final month of the 2022 regular season and a playoff loss in Cincinnati. Harbaugh said he "200 percent" wants Jackson in Baltimore for years to come, while DeCosta was a bit measured but still said the focus remains on signing Jackson to an extension (rather than trading him). If Jackson does return to Baltimore in 2023, it'll be his first time in an NFL offense that isn't either directed or heavily influenced by Greg Roman, who announced Thursday that he's parting ways with the Ravens after four years as their offensive coordinator. Neither Harbaugh nor DeCosta said anything about a timeline for Jackson's recovery from the knee injury or if surgery might be needed.

Andy Isabella - Lands new contract with Baltimore The Ravens signed Isabella to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact Isabella will stick with Baltimore after joining the team's practice squad Oct. 10. The 5-foot-9 wideout collected 30 of 47 targets for 413 yards and three touchdowns over his first two seasons with Arizona, though he became a total non-factor in 2021 and was waived after the first four games of the 2022 regular season. Isabella was elevated for three games with Baltimore, including the loss to Cincinnati in the wild-card round of the playoffs. However, he never caught a pass while playing six offensive snaps across these contests, so he'll look to carve out a much more significant role heading into the 2023 campaign.

Rashod Bateman - Making progress with foot injury Coach John Harbaugh indicated Thursday that Bateman (foot) should be able to run at full speed "really soon," Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Bateman, who is bouncing back from surgery to address a Lisfranc foot injury, last saw game action Week 8 of the 2022 regular season, but it sounds like the 2021 first-rounder will be ready to go once the Ravens next take the field. Prior to being placed on IR, Bateman caught 15 of his 28 targets for 285 yards and two TDs in six games. Provided he avoids any setbacks ahead of the 2023 campaign, the 6-foot-1, 197-pounder should reclaim his starting slot in what figures to be a retooled Baltimore wideout corps.

Marlon Humphrey - Stays healthy in 2022 Humphrey recorded 71 total tackles, 3.0 sacks and three interceptions across 17 games in 2022.

Impact A pec injury cut Humphrey's season short in 2021 but he managed to stay healthy for the duration of this season and logged a career-high in snaps as a result. Humphrey was more impactful in coverage than he was in the last couple of seasons as his three interceptions tied his career-high set in 2019. He also recovered a pair of fumbles. Humphrey is under contract for another year at least before a potential exit following the 2023 season.

Roquan Smith - Impresses with new team Smith finished the season with 169 total tackles, 4.5 sacks and three interceptions.

Impact Smith saw no dropoff despite changing teams midseason and, in fact, he helped bolster the Baltimore defense down the stretch to help it to a playoff berth. He has inked the most lucrative contract for an off-ball linebacker in NFL history since the end of the regular season and will be a fixture in the Baltimore defense for years to come. He has no fewer than 121 total tackles in any full season in his five-year career and projects as a priority asset in IDP leagues in 2023.

Chuck Clark - Turns in solid 2022 campaign Clark had 101 total tackles (61 solo, 40 assists) to go with four pass breakups and a fumble recovery in 2022.

Impact Clark entered the year with his role somewhat in question after the Ravens brought in Marcus Williams in free agency and Kyle Hamilton in the first round of the draft. Despite that, Clark logged the fifth-most snaps among safeties in the NFL this season. Williams' injury and Hamilton's slow development led to the Ravens leaning more on Clark and he responded with his most productive season to date in terms of tackles. He was less impactful in coverage, though, as he recorded no interceptions and his pass breakup count dropped from 12 to four. Clark is under contract for one more season and carries a $6 million cap hit for 2023.

Patrick Queen - Career year in third season Queen had a career year in 2022 by setting new career highs in tackles (117), sacks (5.0), interceptions (2) and pass breakups (6).

Impact The former first-round pick delivered on his potential this season and cemented himself as a key part of what was a strong Baltimore defense. Queen was better at finding the ballcarrier and was relied upon for more snaps as he bested his previous career high by 125 reps. Baltimore can pick up Queen's fifth-year option this offseason, and his performance, especially in 2022, should lay the groundwork for that to happen.

Charlie Kolar - Injury-marred rookie season Kolar played in two games as a rookie and recorded four receptions for 49 yards on six targets.

Impact The fourth-round selection out of Iowa State had his rookie season thrown off kilter by a sports hernia that required surgery during the preseason. He did not see his first game action until Week 17 but managed to make an impact in the regular season finale against the Bengals with four grabs for 49 yards. Fair or not, Kolar will be compared to fellow rookie tight end Isaiah Likely as they were drafted in the same round and both are competing to be the top tight end behind Mark Andrews. Kolar gets an incomplete grade for his rookie season due to the injury while Likely became a reliable part of the offense. If the offense does not change in 2023, Kolar could take over the role occupied by Josh Oliver provided Oliver is not retained. A less tight end-reliant system could put Kolar in a squeeze for playing time, however.

Tylan Wallace - Fails to make impact in 2022 Wallace (hamstring) had four catches on seven targets for 33 yards across nine games in 2022.

Impact The second-year wideout finished the season on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury and also missed Weeks 13-17 with a hamstring issue. When healthy, Wallace's season high in snaps was just 19 and that was in Week 18 when the Ravens rested some key players. Wallace never recorded more than one reception or two targets in any game despite Baltimore struggling with injuries across the receiving corps. He's under contract for two more seasons but Wallace will need to make some strides in his development to secure a role in the offense next season.
