Ravens Game Day: 3 Things to Watch vs. New Orleans Saints

The Baltimore Ravens travel to the Bayou for their final preseason game against the New Orleans Saints. Here are three things to watch with the Ravens starters on the bench.
The final week of the preseason is one in which the starters do not play much, if at all. That will not be the case for one team at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The Ravens had a rough third week of the preseason that saw them lose Ben Watson for the year and rookie Kenneth Dixon for the start of the regular season. It was demoralizing news after the team welcomed Flacco and Terrell Suggs back to the field.
This might be a meaningless game for some, but not to others. Several players are fighting for roles on this team. A few are hoping to earn a roster spot in this game. Others need a strong showing to find them a home elsewhere in the league.
There is still plenty to keep an eye on in the final game of the preseason. Let’s start with the top news of the game: Breshad Perriman will finally take the field.
