Today, at 4 P.M. EDT, all 32 teams in the NFL were required to submit their final 53 man rosters, heading into the regular season. The Ravens were of course among those teams who had to submit their roster. Much of Baltimore’s roster was predictable, but there are a few moves that were surprising. Here are all of the cuts that Baltimore made to the roster:
Cuts from the Ravens Roster
WR Quincy Adeboyejo, P Kenny Allen, LB Randy Allen, WR C.J. Board, G Jarell Broxton, TE Larry Donnell, DB Otha Foster, T Joseph Roubbens, QB Thaddeus Lewis, LB Boseko Lokombo, TE Ryan Malleck, WR Chris Matthews, RB Taquan Mizzell, C Derrick Nelson, FB Ricky Ortiz, LB Donald Payne, LS Taybor Pepper, CB Reggie Porter, G Jarrod Pughsley, RB Bobby Rainey, WR Keenan Reynolds, G Maurquice Shakir, C Matt Skura, RB Lorenzo Taliaferro, CB Trevin Wade, G De’Ondre Wesley, WR Griff Whalen, QB Josh Woodrum, and C Jeremy Zuttah.
Most of these cuts by the Ravens were to be expected, however, there were a few that were surprising. Running back Taquan Mizzell had a fantastic preseason performance, and many, including myself, thought he would make the Ravens roster. However, he was released. Center Jeremy Zuttah also was an unexpected cut. He was brought in just a few weeks ago to compete with Jensen for the starting center job. I believed he had a decent chance to win the job, and have Jensen move to guard. However, Zuttah is off the Ravens roster entirely now. Quarterback Josh Woodrum also had an impressive performance this offseason, but the writing was on the wall that he would not make the team, as the Ravens typically only keep two quarterbacks on the roster. With the roster moves by Baltimore, here is the presumptive depth chart:
