Ravens Move Down To 53

August 31st, 2019 at 4:03pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Ravens minced their roster to 53 players, parting ways with UDFA Gerald Willis to get there. Baltimore also placed Tavon Young and Kenneth Dixon on IR.

Young suffered a neck injury recently and will miss a full season for the second time in three years. While Baltimore boasts a deep cornerback corps, losing its slot man again will not help the high-end defense’s cause. Dixon will head back to IR. The Ravens placed him on IR in September 2018 but used an IR-return slot on him. That will not be an option this year, which doubles as the running back’s contract slate.

Character concerns caused Willis, viewed as a high-Day 3-type prospect out of Miami, to go undrafted. He is now on the waiver wire.

Here are Baltimore’s cuts:

Aaron Adeoye, DE
Marcus Applefield, T
Terrell Bonds, DB
Maurice Canady, DB
E.J. Ejiya, LB
Tyler Ervin, RB
Christopher Ezeala, RB
Willie Henry, DT
Cole Herdman, TE
Bennett Jackson, DB
Stanley Jean-Baptiste, DB
Sean Modster, WR
Cameron Nizialek, P
Donald Payne, LB
R.J. Prince, G
Charles Scarff, TE
Zach Sieler, DE
Brynden Trawick, DB
Antoine Wesley, WR
Gerald Willis, DT

Placed on IR:

Randin Crecelius, T
Kenneth Dixon, RB
Alvin Jones, LB
Fish Smithson, DB
Tavon Young, DB

Ravens Sign 8 Draft Picks

May 5th, 2018 at 7:08pm CST by Sam Robinson

Of the 12 draft choices the Ravens made this year, eight are now under contract. The Ravens signed the final eight of their 2018 draft picks on Saturday. Here’s the full rundown:

4-118: Anthony Averett, CB (Alabama)
4-122: Kenny Young, LB (UCLA)
4-132: Jaleel Scott, WR (New Mexico State)
5-162: Jordan Lasley, WR (UCLA)
6-190: DeShon Elliott, S (Texas)
6-212: Greg Senat, T (Wagner)
6-215: Bradley Bozeman, C (Alabama)
7-238: Zach Sieler, DE (Ferris State)

Baltimore’s unsigned contingent consists of Hayden Hurst, Lamar Jackson, Orlando Brown and Mark Andrews.

Scott and Lasley made it a four-pass-catcher draft for the Ravens, who used first- and third-round picks on tight ends. The Ravens have overhauled their receiving corps this offseason, cutting Jeremy Maclin, letting Mike Wallace depart in free agency and signing John Brown, Michael Crabtree and Willie Snead.

Averett and Elliott will attempt to carve out positions in Baltimore’s secondary, while Sieler becomes the third Division II front-seven piece on the Ravens’ roster, joining Brandon Williams and Matt Judon.
