Baltimore Beatdown
After a highly anticipated period of roster cuts in recent hours, the Baltimore Ravens have fully trimmed their roster down to the 53-player mark. The Ravens were faced with difficult decisions at a number of positions and competition for the final few spots on the 53-man roster was stiff.
Ultimately, the Ravens landed in a familiar place of balance: with 25 offensive players, 25 defensive players, and 3 specialists. The roster will obviously be subject to change moving forward with more shuffling to come between injured players and practice squad signees. However, here is a breakdown of where the Ravens landed with their final 53-man roster ahead of the 2025 season.
Quarterback (2)
No surprises here. The Ravens cut Devin Leary after an underwhelming set of performances in the preseason and Rush will be Jackson’s primary backup during the season.
Running Back (5)
Ali solidified his spot on the roster this preseason and convinced the Ravens to keep a fourth pure running back on the roster. Him and Mitchell will handle kickoff duties during the season, while the latter also figures to see some offensive snaps behind Henry and Hill. This is a strong top-to-bottom group.
Tight End/Fullback (3)
The Ravens chose not to place Likely (foot) on injured reserve, which is a sign they believe he can probably return within the first four weeks. When he does, he’ll rejoin a formidable tandem with Andrews. Kolar could take on an expanded receiving role in Likely’s absence while continuing to handle valuable blocking duties.
Wide Receiver (6)
Another group with no surprises. Wester’s flashy plays in the preseason solidified his role as a punt returner and potential gadget player in spurts. Walker was a summer standout and could take a step forward if he can carve out snaps in the regular season rotation. This is arguably the most talented wide receiver room the Ravens have had in quite some time.
Offensive Line (9)
With rookie Emery Jones Jr. placed on the reserve/non-football injury list, the Ravens chose to keep nine offensive linemen on the roster. Cleveland again retained a role as a backup offensive guard, while summer standout Bullock beat out the likes of Garrett Dellinger and Nick Samac for the final spot. Bullock will enter the season as Linderbaum’s backup at center.
Defensive Line (5)
The Ravens chose to give a final defensive lineman spot to Jenkins and cut veteran Brent Urban, who will likely be signed to the practice...
