#Ravens elevate two players from the practice squad, adding Daryl Worley, and Sam Mustipher for Week 1 matchup vs. Texans via @Thacover2NFL

The Baltimore Ravens have activated two players from the practice squad for Sunday’s opener against the Houston Texans at M&T Bank Stadium, elevating center Sam Mustipher and defensive back Daryl Worley.

Mustipher will serve as the backup to Tyler Linderbaum, while Worley is a reserve safety who can also play cornerback and excel on special teams.

The Ravens have ruled out cornerback Marlon Humphrey as he continues returning from his foot surgery.

Players can be called up from the practice squad thrice per season.

Worley played in eight games and made one start for the Ravens last season, logging eight tackles and two passes defended.

Social media reacts to Ian Book’s 2023 preseason debut with Eagles

Hope he gets another chance to win people over.

Former Notre Dame quarterback [autotag]Ian Book[/autotag] has one NFL regular-season game to his name with the New Orleans Saints in 2021. The Saints cut Book last season but immediately was claimed by the Philadelphia Eagles. However, he did not see the field with them. He hopes that will change in 2023, but he’s got a long way to go to win the Eagles’ fan base over after his preseason debut against the Baltimore Ravens.

The most notable moment of Book’s night was when the Ravens’ Daryl Worley sacked him for a 21-yard loss. His passing wasn’t any better as he completed only one of four attempts for 11 yards. Even though he only played in the fourth quarter, it was more than Eagles fans needed to see to judge his performance.

Social media was ripe with criticism for Book in a way only Eagles fans could dish out. Hopefully, he can use this as motivation assuming he gets another chance:

Ravens re-sign DE Brent Urban, CB Daryl Worley

The Baltimore Ravens have re-signed defensive end Brent Urban and cornerback Daryl Worley.

A day after the Baltimore Ravens announced the hiring of Todd Monken as their new offensive coordinator, the team announced a couple of roster moves.  Defensive end Brent Urban and cornerback Daryl Worley re-signed with the Ravens, the team announced on social media.

Both Urban and Worley provided critical depth for the defense in 2022, especially when players were out with injuries. They both showed flashes throughout the season, and were solid connector players on a defense that improved in major ways over the course of the year.

Urban was a 2014 fourth round pick by the Ravens, but signed with the Tennessee Titans and ended up playing with the Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys before returning to Baltimore in 2022.  Urban ended up playing in 16 games and had a combined 21 tackles and one sack.

When Worley wasn’t injured, he was normally a player that would get added to the active roster the night before games for depth reasons.  He saw significant playing time in the Week 18 matchup in Cincinnati with a lot of the starters being inactive in preparation for the Wild Card playoff game.

Ravens make six roster moves ahead of Week 18 vs. Bengals

The Ravens made six roster moves prior to Week 18 vs. the Cincinnati Bengals

The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals.  The Ravens need a win to go along with a Los Angeles Charges win and a win of a coin flip to host a Wild Card playoff game after new rules were put in place following the scary situation with Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin.

The team made six roster moves prior to Sunday’s game, with multiple involving big names. Baltimore waived veteran tight end Nick Boyle and wide receiver DeSean Jackson, elevated quarterback Brett Hundley and defensive tackle Rayshad Nichols from the practice squad, and activated wide receiver Tylan Wallace and cornerback Daryl Worley from injured reserve.

The waiving of tight end Nick Boyle seemed inevitable.  His playing time has been significantly less this year and he hasn’t been the same player since before suffering a significant leg injury during the 2020 season.  The fifth-rounder out of Delaware was drafted by the Ravens in the 2015 NFL Draft. Known for his blocking skills, in 90 career games, Boyle had a total of 121 receptions for 1049 receiving yards and four total touchdowns.

Ravens release final injury report for Week 14 matchup vs. Steelers

The Ravens released the final injury report for Week 14 against the Steelers

It’s Steelers week in Ravens country as the team prepares to travel to Pittsburgh in Week 14. There’s a high likelihood that the game becomes a slugfest, especially considering the track record of games between the two rivals that come down to the wire more often than not.

The Ravens released the final injury report for the week, and it’s no surprise that quarterback Lamar Jackson is listed as doubtful on Sunday after he suffered an ankle injury in Week 13.  After being a full participant during Wednesday’s practice, Ronnie Stanley was limited on Thursday, and did not practice today, but he does not have any injury designation.

Cornerback Daryl Worley is the only player on the injury report that’s officially out for Sunday’s game.  Worley has been moving around the Ravens’ roster all year, but won’t be available in Week 14. Offensive linemen Trystan Colon and Kevin Zeitler returned to practice on Friday, as did cornerback Marcus Peters.

Ravens cut CB Daryl Worley, sign him back to practice squad

The Baltimore Ravens have cut defensive back Daryl Worley.

The Baltimore Ravens pulled out an important Week 7 win over the Cleveland Browns by the final score of 23-20. It moves them to 4-3 on the year, keeping their lead in first place in the AFC North.

On Monday, the Ravens cut defensive back Daryl Worley. The veteran has been added to the game day roster, cut, and re-signed to the practice squad multiple times now, and that’s what happened this time around with the veteran as well.

The Ravens have three players who have been designated to return from the physically unable to play list. Outside linebackers Tyus Bowser and rookie David Ojabo are candidates to take over the 52nd and 53rd spots on the roster once they’re ready to return.Rookie tight end Charlie Kolar is also a factor.

In three games so far this season, Worley has played mostly on the special teams unit.  He has recorded one assisted tackle in those three games.  Having Worley on the practice squad gives the Ravens depth in the secondary and on special teams on game days.

Ravens officially make two roster moves on Tuesday

The Ravens officially made two roster moves on Tuesday

The Baltimore Ravens travel to the Meadowlands for the second time this season, as they’ll take on the New York Giants in Week 6 of the 2022 season. Both teams have been very competitive through the first five weeks, as both come into the week with a winning record.

On Tuesday, Baltimore announced that they made two roster moves, both involving players on defense. Baltimore safety Marcus Williams was officially placed on injured reserve on Tuesday, one day after head coach John Harbaugh announced that he would be due to a dislocated wrist he suffered in Sunday’s Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Also, the team waived cornerback after recently signing him to the active roster.

Harbaugh made it clear that the injury to Williams wouldn’t be a season-ending one, which is great news for the Baltimore defense. The sixth-year safety has been one of the Ravens’ best players during the year. His loss will be felt, and contributors such as Kyle Hamilton and Geno Stone will have to step up in his place.
