The Baltimore Ravens continued to work down to the 80-man roster limit for training camp, making two more cuts on Saturday. The Ravens announced they waived defensive tackle Daylon Mack and punter Dom Maggio via Twitter.
Baltimore waiting Maggio should come as no surprise as the Ravens have one of the best punters in the league in Sam Koch. While the team typically keeps an extra leg or two for training camp, the reduced roster size this year due to the coronavirus pandemic makes an extra punter a completely unnecessary luxury.
It’s Mack getting waived that could shock some. After being taken in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, it was expected Mack would at least be in the running for a spot on the 53-man roster, if not a rotational role, as he entered his second season. But with Baltimore selecting Justin Madubuike and Broderick Washington Jr. in the 2020 NFL Draft as well as re-signing Jihad Ward and Justin Ellis, as well as adding Calais Campbell and Derek Wolfe this offseason, Mack was simply the odd man out in a now very deep group.
