 so even with the deadline being tomorrow at 4pm eastern time the ravens were like we don't need to wait until then and they made the five roster moves uh to get it to 85 men and they are as follows uh it was announced earlier so these two are no surprise the ravens uh wave davante harris uh an outside linebacker erin adoye um but the moves that they made after that uh ended up being elia wolf elia wolf was also waived and elia wolf they signed him as an undrafted rookie free agent last year i believe um and they had him on the practice squad i think he made it through the entire year on a practice squad uh but either way um he was in the that competition for that possible third tight end spot um but now he's out of it so both him and jaco breland they were both signed as undrafted rookie free agents last year and now both of them um are gone uh so the other two moves that they made they placed eamon marshal and kyle dorsey on injured reserve now i was a little bit confused by the eamon marshal one because i believe that didn't he just like return to practice like last week i remember they showed biggie coming out and he was talking to somebody and whatnot he had the pads on and all that but now um he's on injured reserve so i'm not sure what happened maybe i missed something uh because i i can miss some stuff sometimes but so maybe i missed something but you have to feel like this is it you got to feel like this is it for the ravens and biggie and it's like we we've never even really got to see him play um three straight years injured reserve every year um and he he never got to get out there and i just every time i think about him uh the the memory that we do have of him with the ravens is when he got drafted because again they said that he was watching the vengeance when he got drafted um but now this is the end game for him with the ravens i i believe it is um now i know jeff zrebek he talked about that they could possibly reach an injury settlement with him now what they would do what that would do if they did that because him being on injured reserve it ends his season with the ravens he is not going to play for the ravens this year but if the ravens reach an injury settlement with him that means they would he would be released from injured reserve and the ravens would give him a nice little lump sum of money and then he would be free to sign with another team it'd be free so uh if that happens with him hey hopefully it does so he can get another shot somewhere uh but if they don't do that then he'll still have another chance with the ravens and with even marshal and we talked about it this year too i just i did not envision him making the roster our reason being because it it was just and it's a good problem to have for the ravens it wasn't it's not a good problem to have for a lot of the cornerbacks who are on the lower end of the depth chart but they have so much in a secondary they they got so much in the secondary like the auto top guys humphrey petas jimmy smith tayvon young like those are those are your four top guys now with jimmy smith and tayvon young unfortunately you have to keep extra because of those two because of their history um so anthony avid now chris westry uh so we'll see what happens with those guys but they they have some good quality dead now shanway got added to the mix brandon stevens and that dude is going to be like a corner the safety a little bit of everything so they have guys that can play the position so even marshal it was just a tough uphill battle for him um now somebody else who was placed on injure reserve was calil dorsey and calil dorsey he came on with the ravens last year uh because they were just them injuries and then of course covid and all that they just got hit they got hit up like they usually do especially at the corner position but they got hit up last year so he came on he helped out for a bit um but now now that's it now he's on injure reserve so same same rules apply to him that they do the even marshal now they didn't drive calil dorsey but it's the same situation injure reserve ends their season and just to um to give an explanation of this because i know there have been a lot of people who have been really confused about injure reserve the pup lists and all that stuff and when you can play somebody on injure reserve and when they can come back just to explain it so everybody's clear moving forward anybody placed on injure reserve before the 53 man roster is official anybody placed on injure reserve before then season done that's it their season is done with whatever team they're on the only way that they could possibly play is if they came to an injury settlement agreement with their team like again like we explained with even marshal ravens placed them on injure reserve if another team wanted him he would have to come to an injury settlement with the ravens then he would be released from injure reserve be a free agent that other team could sign so with uh but with anybody that gets placed on injure reserve right here right now they cannot come back to their team they can't come back the season with their team that they own is done it's finished now uh for the injure reserve where you have a minimum of three weeks where you got to be out and then you can come back that is for any players that make the initial 53 man roster so for instance rasha bateman will use him as an example because this is probably the most likely scenario if it doesn't happen i won't be mad because that can mean that he could come back before but with rasha bateman just as an example ravens are gonna carry him into the season on the 53 man roster before week one so he'll be on the 53 man roster but then after the 53 man roster is official they'll they could place him on injure reserve since he will have made it through the 53 man roster and he didn't be placed on injure reserve after that then he'll miss a minimum of three games after he misses three games if he's good to go if he's healthy he can come back and that's it simple as that and for injure reserve this year is there is no limit as to how many people you can bring back a you oh man it seemed like so long ago but with the the way that these nfl seasons have been and especially with the whole pandemic has just been so many rule changes that have happened um over the past couple of years but a couple of years ago it used to you used to only be able to bring back one person from injure reserve um well before you couldn't bring bring back anybody so this has been progress because before when somebody got placed on injure reserve that was it season was done but then they changed it they were like if somebody gets placed on injure reserve they can come back after i think it was eight weeks and then they changed it again they was like okay you can bring back two people on injure reserve but still they gotta wait eight weeks so they gotta be there on there at least eight weeks and then you can bring them back so then with the code and everything since that like through a monkey wrench in nfl period it just messed up roster's messed up teams i mean that's raving fans we know from first hand experience because that i remember that just that that week it was story after story after story after story this player got it that player got it that player got it that player got it that player got it that player got it and then it just stuff just kept getting pushed back and i thought we were never gonna play the stealers but we finally end up doing it on that wednesday night um but anyway the pandemic changed a lot of the rules with the injure reserve but it did lighten it up so now injure reserve the minimum that somebody has to be on there is three weeks and you can bring back as many players from injure reserve as you want to so there is no more limit and that has made things a lot better because teams used to have to have used to have to make some tough tough tough decisions real tough decisions but they ain't got to really do that no more so it's a lot easier to mess with it now to mess with the system so to speak but this this round of waves and this round of injure reserves wasn't very dramatic wasn't dramatic at all weren't any like surprises or anything davante hairs he was not somebody who i envisioned making the ravens roster again just simply because of everything that was in front of him he had a lot in front of him even marshal was the same way elie wolf i didn't think he was going to be that third tight end for the ravens um so everything that they did uh today it was not a shocker uh at all uh next week they have to cut five more people or have to make five more roster moves not necessarily cut or waves but they have to make five more roster moves so next week it could be a little anti climactic as well but the following week like this week you got to go from 90 to 85 next week you got to go from 85 to 80 but then the following week you have to go from 80 to 53 why they did it with the numbers like that makes no sense but hey it's nfl a lot of things don't make sense with it but um that's where obviously all the craziness is gonna begin you'll see the stashes at that point you'll see maybe um maybe any trades we'll see but i don't really anticipate any trades like that but you never know what the ravens because verity and very keep kicking like he's been kicking oh ravens going they're gonna get something for them they're gonna get something for them but anyway team keep it clean
