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.
