A lot of Ravens observers thought the team needed to upgrade their backup quarterback spot from rookie Tyrod Taylor.

They may not have a choice after Taylor left Thursday’s game in the first quarter with a “shoulder contusion.” Taylor took a big hit and his arm appeared to go limp, but we’ll have to wait for an official diagnosis. Third quarterback Hunter Cantwell will likely have to finish out the game.

If Taylor is questionable for the season opener, the Ravens will have to find another arm after this weekend’s cuts. We half-expected them to make a move already, and now fully expect it.

Taylor finishes with one touchdown and three interceptions in the preseason.
