Cody, 25, re-signed with the Ravens in the offseason on a one-year deal after he appeared in 12 games last season, making two starts, recording 15 combined tackles, down from 25 the year before.
He underwent surgery on his hip in the offseason and is still working his way back to health and hopes when he gets back on the field he can be a bigger contributor than he has been in recent seasons.
The 6-4, 370-pound Cody has never lived up to the billing since the Ravens spent a second round pick on him in 2010 after being a dominant nose tackle with the Alabama Crimson Tide. His best season came in 2011 when he started all 16 games and recorded a career-high 39 combined tackles.
He is strictly a two-down player who brings little to nothing the table as a pass rusher, but if he ever got his weight in check, below the 350-pound range, he would have a much larger impact and prolong his NFL career as this appears to be his last chance to stick with the former Super Bowl champions.
After the Ravens drafted Timmy Jernigan and Brent Urban in the 2014 NFL Draft and the strong offseason turned in by Kapron Lewis-Moore and Brandon Williams entrenched as the starter at nose tackle, the writing could be on the wall that Cody could be looking for a new place to call home at some point during the preseason.
