The Baltimore Ravens will see a new look from one of their young defensive playmakers in 2026, as Mike Green has officially switched his jersey number from No. 45 to No. 15. Entering his second season, the number change signals a fresh start for the emerging edge rusher as he looks to carve out a larger role in Baltimore's defense opposite Trey Hendrickson.

Green showed flashes of potential during his rookie campaign, and the Ravens are expecting continued growth from the young pass rusher. With an increased opportunity to contribute in the team's rotation, Green's development will be key to maintaining Baltimore's defensive identity. The switch to No. 15 adds a new layer to his on-field presence, as he aims to take a significant step forward in Year 2.
