Ravens waive WR Shemar Bridges with injury settlement

The Baltimore Ravens brought in numerous undrafted free agent wide receivers to compete for a roster spot. They looked to have targeted a specific profile in most of the players, that which was a big-bodied player that can make contested catches.

One of the rookies that the team brought in was wideout Shemar Bridges out of Fort Valley State. He burst onto the scene in the first game of the 2022 preseason, catching multiple impressive passes. However, he suffered an injury in the final preseason game and was waived/injured once the Baltimore roster had to be trimmed to 53 players. On Monday, it was made known that Bridges was cut from injured reserve with an injury settlement.
