Ravens Cut Veteran Receiver After 5 Games
14 Oct
Summary
- Baltimore Ravens released wide receivers Chris Moore and Xavier Guillory.
- Chris Moore, a veteran, caught 3 passes for 63 yards and 1 touchdown.
- The move could pave the way for rookie Ja'Kobi Lane to return from IR.
The Baltimore Ravens have trimmed their wide receiver corps, announcing the release of veteran Chris Moore and practice squad member Xavier Guillory. Moore, who spent several seasons with the team after being drafted in 2016, appeared in five games this season, securing three catches for 63 yards and a touchdown.
This roster adjustment is widely seen as a precursor to activating rookie wideout Ja'Kobi Lane. Lane, a third-round pick, has been sidelined since fracturing his wrist in the season opener. The Ravens are expected to open his 21-day practice window imminently, allowing him to return to the field within the next three weeks.
Lane's potential return comes as the Ravens have dealt with receiver injuries, including those to Zay Flowers. His availability could bolster Baltimore's passing attack as they prepare for a critical AFC North matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
