The Baltimore Ravens made some shocking roster cuts yesterday. While that is the biggest news, here are three players who clawed their way on to the roster:

The Baltimore Ravens shocked their fan base releasing Justin Forsett, Terrence Brooks and Jeremy Butler yesterday. To the outsider it may have seemed like Keenan Reynolds cut was a surprise; but he had one catch this preseason and struggled to transition into the NFL.
