Ravens Week 13 Rookie Report: Wiggins battled against A.J. Brown; Rosengarten continues to look solid

The first-round cornerback out-snapped a starter while the second-round tackle held his own against a former Defensive Player of the Year.

The Baltimore Ravens are heading into their bye with a sour taste in their mouths after falling to the Philadelphia Eagles 24-19 at home in Week 13 despite contributions from several members of their 2024 rookie class. Their first two selections in particular faced daunting tasks but played well nonetheless.

Of the team’s rookies, only two – wide recevier Devontez Walker and center Nick Samac – were inactive. Here is how the rest of Baltimore’s first-year players fared in their latest taste of regular season NFL action.

For the fourth week in a row, Wiggins played over 60% of the team’s total defensive snaps and faced one of his toughest tests of the season. The first-rounder was matched up against Eagles Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown quite often on the perimeter and gave up a pair of receptions that resulted in first downs.

Wiggins played 19 snaps on special teams as well, his second-most of the season. Though his main role is on defense, he showed some development on special teams, including an impressive late field goal block that got called back for an offsides penalty.

In a game where the offensive line as a whole struggled mightily to hold up in pass protection and the run game, the second-rounder held his own better than the rest of the unit. Rosengarten was the only starter to not surrender multiple pressures with just one, per Pro Football Focus, and finished as the Ravens’ highest-graded player on either side of the ball.

He delivered, totaling 62 yards on two returns including a career-long of 38 yards on his second to jumpstart the Ravens’ scoring drive at the end for the first half. His 13 total snaps on special teams was a career-high and the sixth-most on the team.
