Baltimore Ravens finalize initial 52-man roster following preseason roster cuts

The Baltimore Ravens established their initial 2026 roster on Sunday, waiving 28 players and releasing five vested veterans. General manager Eric DeCosta and head coach Jesse Minter kept three quarterbacks, including Joe Fagnano, who joins Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. The team placed Adam Randall and Bilhal Kone on injured reserve with designations to return, leaving one active roster spot open. Defensive adjustments include the inclusion of Aeneas Peebles on the defensive line and the release of outside linebacker Adisa Isaac. The squad will move forward without a traditional fullback, opting for tight end Durham Smythe to fill the role as a blocker. Further roster adjustments remain possible through waiver claims and practice squad additions before the team opens the regular season.
