ExtremeRavens Posted August 26 Posted August 26 The Ravens released cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation, in what was the team’s first surprising move ahead of the NFL’s roster cutdown deadline. The 2022 fourth-round pick from Alabama was having an impressive camp, capped by a jump-ball interception in the preseason finale against the Washington Commanders. Armour-Davis has been snakebitten by injuries that tempered his development, but he entered this camp as a strong candidate to compete for cornerback reps. Armour-Davis, a 25-year-old who made the cut this time last year, has played in 19 games and started three. He’s logged 172 defensive snaps and 302 special teams snaps. His departure opens the door for a few impressive undrafted rookie defensive backs on the bubble, like safety Reuben Lowery and cornerback Keyon Martin. Lowery is on the team’s initial 53-man roster, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation. Senior secondary coach Chuck Pagano said on Tuesday that in his nearly four decades of coaching football and nearly two in the NFL, the current Ravens secondary is “as good a group as I’ve been around.” “It’s a tough day,” Pagano said. “We’re gonna have to say goodbye to a lot of really good football players but the guys that are here are here. The guys that won’t be, they’ve done enough and put enough good stuff out there on tape [to make it on another team].” Baltimore also waived third-string quarterback Devin Leary and rookie fullback Lucas Scott, according to sources with direct knowledge of the situation. Both were expected moves. Scott is a candidate to make the 16-man practice squad. The Baltimore Sun’s Brian Wacker contributed to this report, which will be updated. Have a news tip?
