Taven Bryan, a defensive lineman, has been added to the Ravens’ 53-man roster.

Bryan replaces Jay Higgins, a rookie inside linebacker who was placed on injury reserve due to a knee problem.

Bryan, a former first-round draft pick in 2018, is now in his eighth year and has joined the Baltimore practice squad as of September 24. He played 34.9% defensive snaps in the Ravens three-game winning streak. Bryan’s status was raised for the third consecutive time in Week 10, and he needed to be on the 53-man list to play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

John Harbaugh, the Head Coach of the team said: “He has played well in each game he’s participated in.” He brings a lot energy. He is a defensive lineman who can switch quickly. He had two quarterback hits in the previous game. “I think he has been a real blessing to us.”

Baltimore has also promoted linebacker Chandler Martin, and cornerback Amani O’Rouriye for the Cleveland game. Both players will see their first match action in 2025.

Oruwariye, a fifth-round selection in 2019, has played for the Detroit Lions from 2019 to 22. He has also made 40 NFL starts. His career has seen him make 10 interceptions while playing with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2023 and Dallas Cowboys in 2024. Oruwariye, a fifth-round pick in 2019, has made 40 NFL starts and 10 career interceptions playing for the Detroit Lions (2019-22), Jacksonville Jaguars (2023) and Dallas Cowboys (2024).

Martin, a rookie undrafted from Memphis, was cut after training camp and the preseason in Baltimore. Martin will provide depth on the linebacker position and in special teams, replacing Higgins who has played a major role for Baltimore’s special teams this season.

Mike Green, a rookie outside linebacker who did not practice on Friday but is questionable for the Browns game after not practicing, was not elevated to replace veteran pass rusher Carl Lawson.
