### **Pundit Says These Veteran Defensive Backs Could Be Good Fits for Ravens**
The Ravens' long-held mantra that one can never have too many cornerbacks has again proven to be accurate.
The Ravens placed sixth-round rookie cornerbacks Bilhal Kone and Robert Longerbeam on season-ending injured reserve in a two-day span after suffering knee injuries.
Fortunately, the Ravens still have a deep cornerback group in Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, Jaire Alexander, Chidobe Awuzie, T.J. Tampa, and Jalyn Armour-Davis. In addition, undrafted rookie Reuben Lowery III has been a training camp standout and is making a case for a roster spot.
That said, the Ravens could look to bring in another veteran, even after signing M.J. Devonshire, a 2024 seventh-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders, Saturday.
[Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25233508-nfl-free-agents-teams-must-consider-after-training-camp-and-preseason-injuries) named Baltimore as a fit for free agent Rasul Douglas, who has started 80 games in his eight-year career, including 15 with the Buffalo Bills last season.
"If Douglas is open to filling a depth role, the Ravens may have room for him," Knox wrote.
Douglas, who turns 30 later this month, has 19 career interceptions, including three for touchdowns. However, he allowed a passer rating of 122.0 in coverage last season.
The secondary took another hit earlier this offseason when safety Ar'Darius Washington suffered a torn Achilles that is expected to sideline him for at least the majority of the season.
Second-year players Sanoussi Kane and Beau Brade are competing for the No. 3 safety spot behind Kyle Hamilton and Malaki Starks, but this is another position in which the Ravens could add a veteran.
Baltimore [reportedly](https://x.com/AroundTheNFL/status/1953933903426986277) brought in Jordan Whitehead for a workout last week. Whitehead, 28, has made 101 starts in his seven-year career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets.
Justin Simmons remains a free agent, and Knox listed the Ravens as a potential fit for the 31-year-old.
"A two-time Pro Bowler with the Denver Broncos, he had a strong one-year stint with the Atlanta Falcons in 2024," Knox wrote. "In 16 starts last year, Simmons recorded 62 tackles and seven passes defended while allowing an 81.9 opposing passer rating. He signed with Atlanta late last offseason and now has another opportunity to latch on with a playoff hopeful."
