Ravens make four roster moves ahead of Wild Card matchup vs. Bengals

The Ravens made four roster moves in preparation for Sunday’s Wild Card matchup in Cincinnati with the Bengals

The Baltimore Ravens are taking on the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night in an AFC Wild Card showdown.  The Ravens and Bengals split the season series by winning one game each, with both teams coming out victorious at home.  Since the 2021 season, this matchup has been intense, starting to have the feel of a rivalry or sorts.

In preparation for the game, the Ravens made a four roster moves in signing defensive back Ar’Darius Washington from the practice squad to the active roster while moving wide receiver Tylan Wallace to injured reserve. They also elevated wide receivers Andy Isabella and Binjimen Victor from the practice squad.

 

The Ravens will need all the healthy bodies they can get to contain the high powered Bengals offense. The team needs depth at the receiver position and for special teams, and with Wallace being a big part of that unit, the team could use Isabella and Victor in his place.

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.
