Ravens waive UDFA CB Jeff Hector

In an effort to get down to the 80-man roster limit for training camp, the Baltimore Ravens waived UDFA CB Jeff Hector Friday.

The Baltimore Ravens announced on Twitter they have waived undrafted free agent cornerback Jeff Hector.

Hector was signed as a UDFA out of Redlands, a Division-3 school. Hector played in 20 games over the last two seasons, accounting for 47 total tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles. He had eight interceptions for Redlands last year, returning them 178 total yards. Hector was also the team’s kickoff returner, finding the end zone once in 20 returns over the last two years.

This is another in a series of moves Baltimore has made this week in order to get down to the 80-man training camp roster limit under the NFL’s COVID-19 protocols. The Ravens waived offensive linemen Evan Adams, Daisahwn Dixon, R.J. Prince, and kicker Nick Vogel on Monday in an announcement made via Twitter. The team also announced they’ve placed UDFA tight end Jacob Breeland on the non-football injury (NFI) list.

Baltimore hasn’t been immune from roster trouble thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. Both offensive tackle Andre Smith and return specialist De’Anthony Thomas declined to play this season under the league’s COVID-19 opt-out protocol. The Ravens also placed UDFA safety Nigel Warrior on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

With 10 other cornerbacks on the roster already, Hector was simply the odd man out in an odd offseason. Baltimore has more pressing needs for depth at other key positions like the offensive and defensive lines, and outside linebacker.
