- The Ravens waived undrafted safety Reuben Lowery III days after trading for veteran Alohi Gilman and adding C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the practice squad.
- Lowery started in the 44-10 loss to the Texans, played 70 defensive snaps in place of injured Kyle Hamilton, and received a 41.2 Pro Football Focus grade.
- Quarterback Tyler Huntley and undrafted rookie safety Keondre Jackson were elevated from the practice squad, with Jackson set for his NFL debut likely on special teams.
- Lamar Jackson is out for a second straight game with a hamstring injury, making Rush the starter as Baltimore manages defensive injuries and depth on the line.
