Overview
- The Ravens announced in a team video Monday that general manager Eric DeCosta told undrafted rookies Joe Fagnano and Ethan Burke they made the initial 53-man roster.
- Fagnano rose from a long-shot depth option to the third quarterback after preseason efficiency and roster moves that included Diego Pavia’s release and Skylar Thompson being placed on injured reserve.
- Burke earned his spot with a four-year college résumé at Texas and steady preseason play plus special-teams production that coaches said showed his pass-rush upside.
- Both players are positioned as low-cost developmental depth behind veterans Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley and do not have roster guarantees for the full season.
- The club’s public celebration — DeCosta’s office call and emotional family phone calls — highlights the human side of roster cutdown day as the front office weighs future roster churn and playing-time plans.
