Overview

• Baltimore executed a standard practice-squad elevation for Mitchell-Paden for the second straight week for Sunday’s home opener against Cleveland.
• The team announced the activation on Sept. 13 via its website and on Twitter, confirming his game-day availability.
• Mitchell-Paden debuted in Week 1 at Buffalo with 15 snaps and a key block on Derrick Henry’s 30-yard touchdown as the Ravens led the NFL with 238 rushing yards.
• He provides tight end depth behind Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar and can fill hybrid blocking and backfield roles with Ricard and Likely sidelined.
• An undrafted Florida Atlantic product who was waived by the Browns in 2024, he spent last season on Baltimore’s practice squad, drew praise from OC Todd Monken, and now prepares for his first regular-season game at M&T Bank Stadium.
