The Ravens' first depth chart of the 2025 regular season has been released and there aren't many surprises.

As a reminder, the depth chart is compiled by the team's public relations staff. You can check out the full depth chart here.

Here are 10 observations:

Check out how the depth chart stacks up entering the 2025 regular season.

  • Rookie wide receiver LaJohntay Wester officially won the punt returner job. Head Coach John Harbaugh didn't promise the sixth-round pick after he had an 87-yard touchdown return in his first preseason game, but Wester has continued to earn it by making smart decisions and fielding the ball cleanly.
  • Odafe Oweh and Tavius Robinson are sharing the starting RUSH linebacker role, a nod to how important the hard-nosed Robinson is in the Ravens’ defense. Oweh started 10 games last season, while Robinson started seven. With Oweh known more for his pass-rushing prowess and Robinson his run defense, it largely depends on the Ravens' play-call and personnel package as to who takes the field first.
  • Tylan Wallace is essentially fourth on the Ravens' depth chart as Zay Flowers' top backup, while summer standout Devontez Walker is third-string behind Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins at the other wide receiver spot.
  • Rookie Mike Green is the only backup behind Kyle Van Noy at SAM linebacker. David Ojabo is backing up Oweh and Robinson at RUSH linebacker.
  • The Ravens have a pair of rookies at free safety with Malaki Starks starting and Reuben Lowery III as his backup. Three rookies will start in Buffalo with Starks, Wester, and kicker Tyler Loop.
  • Running back Justice Hill is listed as the top kick returner, trailed by fellow running backs Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali, respectively.
  • Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins are the team's starting cornerbacks, trailed by Jaire Alexander and Chidobe Awuzie.
  • Trenton Simpson reclaimed his starting spot next to Roquan Smith and is trailed by rookie Teddye Buchanan, who said he has learned both linebacker spots this summer. Veteran Jake Hummel and undrafted rookie Jay Higgins IV are Smith's backups, respectively.
  • Andrew Vorhees won the starting left guard job, as previously announced. Ben Cleveland is the top backup at both guard spots.
  • Sixth-round rookie Aeneas Peebles is the top backup for both Nnamdi Madubuike and Broderick Washington Jr.
