Clifton Brown
The Ravens elevated veteran defensive tackle Taven Bryan from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Baltimore did not call up veteran pass rusher Carl Lawson. Lawson signed on Oct. 24, and Head Coach John Harbaugh said on Friday that Lawson was up to speed on Baltimore's defense and looked "ready to go."
However, with the entire 53-man roster healthy and ready to play, the Ravens' gameday roster will be tight and Lawson will wait at least another week to make his debut.
Bryan, a former first-round pick in 2018, will play in his third consecutive game. He has yet to record a tackle, but Bryan has played a total of 48 defensive snaps (38%) against the Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins.
Bryan will be available to join the front seven rotation along with newly acquired outside linebacker Dre'Mont Jones, who will play after being acquired ina trade prior to Tuesdays deadline. Jones, who had 4.5 sacks in his last four games with the Tennessee Titans, can play both edge and on the defensive line.
