Ravens' Geno Stone: Nabs seventh INT of 2023
Rotowire
Stone had a team-high eight tackles (six solo) and an interception in Sunday's 56-19 win over the Dolphins.
Stone led the Ravens in tackles after being inserted into the starting free safety role for the injured Kyle Hamilton (knee). Stone made the most of it, as he played 100 percent of defensive snaps and picked off Tua Tagovailoa in the third quarter on a pass intended for Tyreek Hill. Stone is now up to seven interceptions on the year, which is the second most in the NFL behind DaRon Bland. With the Ravens already locked into the AFC's top seed, Stone could see extended playing time in Week 18 against the Steelers if Baltimore elects to sit Hamilton for a second straight week.

Ravens' Geno Stone: Baltimore adds in seventh round
Rotowire
The Ravens selected Stone in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 219th overall.
Stone (5-foot-10, 207) was a useful player for Iowa but it's difficult to see how he sticks as more than a special teams type in the NFL. He didn't post much production at Iowa, and it's probably his lack of athleticism that caused that outcome (4.62-second 40, 33.5-inch vertical, 116-inch broad jump).
