The Baltimore Ravens have cut their roster down to 53 players, making several tough cuts in the process.

They're not the only club to do so. Hundreds of players have the NFL's waiver wire - including more than two dozen from Baltimore - with teams submitting claims for potential additions to their squad. Then, after waivers are processed on Monday at 1 p.m. ET, teams will scramble to set their 16-man practice squads (plus a 17th spot for International Player Program alumni).

If that seems like a whirlwind, well, it is. Luckily, as with our 53-man roster tracker, Baltimore Beatdown has you covered! On this page, we will be tracking all of the waiver wire and practice squad moves made by the Ravens (+1300 in Super Bowl odds, per FanDuel Sportsbook) over the next. Beatdown's staff will also be sharing their top risks to lose on waivers and priority practice squad signings!

Baltimore Beatdown's top waiver targets

The Ravens have a really talented roster this year. A waiver claim would require parting ways with one of the current 53. Barring another IR placement, there's no one that makes sense.

Baltimore Beatdown's top practice squad targets

• LB Dominic DeLuca: Baltimore's history with undrafted inside linebackers speaks for itself, with Jay Higgins being the latest to make the team in 2025. With Teddye Buchanan only recently coming off the P.U.P. list, the Ravens could potentially use another body at the position to start the season alongside Roquan Smith, Trenton Simpson. -Dustin Cox
• CB Robert Longerbeam: Longerbeam was quietly excellent this preseason, allowing just 5.4 yards per target and 7.6 yards per reception (via Pro Football Focus). He also looked sharp on special teams and might be the first cornerback elevated off the practice squad when injuries start to crop up during the regular season. - Nikhil Mehta
• DT David Olajiga: Olajiga flashed in practice on a number of occasions and recorded sacks in each of the last two preseason games. As an England native, he is eligible for the extra, 17th spot on the practice squad for IPP players. This is a no-brainer to continue developing a promising young defensive lineman. - Nikhil Mehta
