Because the NFL season never ends, we present our 2009 Offseason Roadmaps for front offices to navigate through the summer.

It was improbable. The Baltimore Ravens made another playoff run in 2008 based on a defense that used the art of suffocation (oh, and Ed Reed) and an offense that improved dramatically over the previous years. John Harbaugh was impressive as coach, putting a rookie quarterback out to toss the ball around and sticking with him through thick (17-29, 248 yards, 2 TDs in Week 9) and thin (11-28, 115 yards, 2 INTs in Week 15).

Now the team has to figure out what to do about a superstar in Ray Lewis, and how they should handle other important positional players (hello Mr. Stover) in order to return to (and move past) the AFC Championship game without their defensive coordinator.

Taking into account that it's the preseason, many of the players sitting on the sidelines tonight would normally be on the field if it was a meaningful game. With that said, I'm sure most fans would like to know who they should expect to see this evening. For that reason, I've done by best to create an accurate injury report -- official reports are not posted until week one of the regular season.

New York Giants:

Out: Wide receiver Plaxico Burress (ankle), linebacker Gerris Wilkinson (knee), center Todd Londot (ankle), long snapper Ryan Kuehl (calf) and safety Michael Stone (hip).

Questionable: Safety Craig Dahl (groin), wide receiver Marco Thomas (groin), Sinorice Moss (ankle) and Zak DeOssie (ankle).

Probable: Wide receiver Amani Toomer (knee), cornerback Gerrick McPhearson (groin), cornerback Corey Webster (hip), tight end Kevin Boss (shoulder) and defensive tackle Charrod Taylor (toe).

Whenever you talk about the Baltimore Ravens and the tight end position the conversation usually begins and ends with one name: Todd Heap. But while Heap had a solid game on Sunday afternoon in Tampa, the tight end that grabbed Steve McNair's first regular season touchdown pass in a Ravens uniform was not Heap, but rather six-year veteran Daniel Wilcox.

Wilcox, who didn't record even one regular season reception until joining the team as a free agent from Tampa Bay before the 2004, has another role on the team outside of being the second tight end. Turns out, he's also the official locker room DJ. Here's Aaron Wilson:

"I've always found that music is a positive thing," Wilcox said. "Not everybody has the same taste, but that's fine. Football is a hard sport, and this is just a good way to relax."

Bonus information: While Wilcox is partial to Snoop Doog and "Southern crunk," he's more than willing to hook up Heap when his counterpart is looking for tunes by Creed or Stain. But while Wilcox might be the DJ, he's still not the most popular Raven in the locker room. In fact, that honor might fall to Derrick Mason, whose locker is always crowded because so many of his teammates are crowding around and trying to get a shot at playing Madden 2007 on Mason's XBox 360.
