The Ravens removed Xavius Boyd from injured reserve today and waived him. The undrafted rookie linebacker was just placed on IR last week with a hamstring injury after he passed through waivers unclaimed.
The Ravens signed Boyd to a three year, $1.531 million contract back in May, but have since replaced him with fellow undrafted rookie free agent Nick DiMarco.
Boyd is a former Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the year and should get another look once he is healthy. The hamsting injury was classified as a simple pull and he should be 100% before too long.
