The Ravens wrapped up the preseason Thursday night in New Orleans with a 23-14 victory.
The win improved the Ravens to 4-0 this preseason, giving them their sixth perfect preseason in franchise history.
Here’s how the game affected the stock of several players fighting for roles on the roster:
WR 
Playing in his first game in 20 months, last year’s first-round pick got involved early. Quarterback
S
Brooks showed good instincts and speed early in the game against quarterback Drew Brees and the Saints’ first-team offense. Brooks broke up a third-down pass, brought down starting running back Mark Ingram with a physical tackle, and made several plays at the line of scrimmage. Brooks consistently found himself around the football, which was a point of emphasis for him coming into the preseason. The Ravens have wanted to see Brooks take the next step in his development, and the former third-round pick showed real potential against New Orleans.
WR
The third-year receiver came into the game as the clear leader in the returner competition, but he made a costly miscue on the second return of the game. Campanaro dropped the kickoff, recovered it, fumbled again, and then recovered his own fumble on the same kickoff. The Ravens turned to wide receiver
The undrafted rookie made a strong case for himself with a touchdown in the second quarter. Pierce has been one of the team’s more impressive rookies of the summer, and he had a strong final push for a roster spot. Pierce came up with a strip/sack in the second quarter where he powered through the line of scrimmage, forced the fumble, and then recovered the ball for the touchdown. He also had another sack that was wiped off because of a penalty. The rookie out of Samford is in a crowded competition to make the 53-man squad, but he did about all he could to earn a job. If he doesn’t make the active roster, the Ravens could certainly look to add him to the practice squad.
OLB
Ochi is another undrafted rookie who finished the preseason on a high note. He had a strip/sack in the third quarter, but the Saints pounced on the football to keep the Ravens from coming up with the takeaway. Ochi is known for his pass-rushing ability, and there has been plenty of speculation about him earning a spot on the active roster. But just like Pierce, Ochi has plenty of competition for a spot and the Ravens could try to find a spot for him on the practice squad if another team doesn’t sign him.
WR
The former Navy quarterback came up with his first catch of the preseason, hauling in a 2-yard reception while getting drilled by a defender. It was a quiet night for the sixth-round pick – that 2-yard reception was his only catch – and the question is whether his preseason was enough to earn him a spot on the roster. Reynolds has run behind Campanaro at both receiver and returner throughout training camp, and it would be difficult to keep both players on the roster. Making the switch from college quarterback to NFL receiver is a difficult transition, so Reynolds would be an ideal practice squad candidate if the Ravens opted to go that route with him.
DT
The fourth-round pick was flagged for a roughing the passer penalty on fourth-and-goal in the fourth quarter. The penalty gave the Saints a fresh sent of downs and they turned that into a touchdown. It was the second late-game penalty Henry has recorded this preseason, as he also jumped offsides against the Colts on a field-goal attempt in the second game. Henry explained himself to Harbaugh after the play, and it remains to be seen whether the penalties will keep the rookie from making the team. Harbaugh said after the game that the tackle was clean and executed just as coaches have taught Henry. He had a solid night outside of the penalty, as he was able to provide interior pressure on the quarterback. He finished with one tackle on the night.
