Overview
- The Ravens cut Robert Longerbeam from their roster during final reductions, making him available to other teams through the NFL waiver process.
- Longerbeam missed his entire rookie season after a training‑camp knee injury and was placed on injured reserve before returning healthy this offseason.
- He showed promise in organized team activities and finished the preseason with eight solo tackles and one pass breakup, but he faced steep competition for roster spots.
- Baltimore’s depth at cornerback, led by players such as Nate Wiggins, Marlon Humphrey and Chidobe Awuzie and supplemented by role players valued for special teams, limited Longerbeam’s path to the 53‑man roster.
- If he clears waivers the Ravens could sign him to the practice squad where he would continue development and provide depth, while a claim by another team would give him a new opportunity on an active roster.
