Kendall Lamm Retires After Short Run With Ravens

Baltimore freed a roster spot by placing Lamm on the reserve/retired list, highlighting sudden turnover at the team's veteran tackle depth.

Overview

  • The Ravens placed veteran offensive tackle Kendall Lamm on their reserve/retired list on Aug. 14, officially marking his retirement from an 11-year NFL career.
  • Lamm had signed with Baltimore on Aug. 3 to replace offensive tackle Hakeem Adeniji, who had been placed on the same reserve/retired list days earlier.
  • An undrafted free agent out of Appalachian State in 2015, Lamm finished his career with 132 game appearances and 44 starts while moving through Houston, Cleveland, Tennessee, Miami, Detroit, and Philadelphia.
  • Lamm’s on-field role had dwindled late in his career — he played just 59 snaps last season with 52 on special teams — and he leaves the league with about $16.33 million in career earnings, according to Spotrac.
  • The reserve/retired designation preserves the Ravens’ roster rights while freeing a spot, and Baltimore responded by activating linebacker Teddye Buchanan as it adjusts to unexpected preseason losses at tackle.
