Ravens add undrafted rookies Joe Fagnano and Ethan Burke to final roster
Summary

The Baltimore Ravens finalized their 53-man roster on August 31, 2026, ahead of the NFL deadline. Undrafted free agents Joe Fagnano and Ethan Burke successfully earned spots on the team following the transition from a 90-player squad. General manager Eric DaCosta informed both players of their status, an interaction recorded by the organization. Fagnano, a passer who played at UConn and the University of Maine, signed a three-year contract in March. Burke, an outside linebacker from Texas, joined the team shortly before the roster reduction.
