The Baltimore Ravens parted ways with many talented players on Tuesday’s NFL roster cutdown day. Many of those players will return to the team’s practice squad, but others have likely played their final snap in Charm City.
Whether it be they are too good to clear waivers or have not proven themselves enough to be worthy of being brought back, the practice squad will have plenty of newcomers and returning contributors. For these three players, though, their time with the Ravens is likely over.
3 Ravens players who are likely gone for good after final roster cuts
Devin Leary
As Baltimore begins their search for a third-string quarterback to hold on the practice squad, second-year pro Devin Leary is someone the Ravens should steer clear of. Leary was a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but has failed to impress in preseason action. Through six games over the past two years, Leary has not showcased much of anything.
The former Kentucky Wildcat is far behind in his NFL development and is already 25 years old. A player of his age should be flashing the ability to carve up defenses in preseason, and Leary has done anything but that. In his 2025 showcase, Leary went 25-for-45 for 167 yards and an interception. He lacks true arm talent to stick around in the league, and Baltimore should move on from their recent draft pick.
Jalyn Armour-Davis
In Jalyn Armour-Davis’ case, his reason for why he will not be back in Baltimore in 2025 is due to his value on the waiver wire. Many teams are in need of depth at cornerback, and some are even looking for starters. After roster cuts, Armour-Davis appears to be one of the best corners available and should be claimed rather early in the order.
Armour-Davis has talent, and he put that on full display all summer. Still, he was cut from the Ravens due to injury history and valuable pieces at other positions. If Armour-Davis can finally put together a healthy campaign, he could be a valuable piece in some team’s secondary this year, especially due to his versatility to play every position within the unit.
One potential landing spot for the 25-year-old is the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins desperately need corner help, and Armour-Davis could start there. Miami is also home to former Ravens assistant head coach Anthony Weaver who now calls the shots for the Dolphins’ defense. It would be a match made in heaven.
Malik Cunningham
When the Ravens signed then-quarterback Malik Cunningham off the New England Patriots practice squad in 2023, they were getting a gifted athlete. They hoped to put those traits to good use by transitioning him to wide receiver, but he has yet to amount to anything in Baltimore.
In the 2024 preseason, Cunningham only accounted for four receptions and 34 yards. In 2025, he got the chance to continue to develop into his new role as a wideout, but he only made one catch, losing three yards in the process. He only got 21 offensive snaps, per Pro Football Focus, but it is clear he is far behind others at the position, who are also fighting for a practice squad spot.
