Ravens waive three rookies and release Jonathan Ward ahead of roster cuts

The Baltimore Ravens have waived three rookies and released veteran running back Jonathan Ward as they finalize their roster ahead of the deadline for 53 players. The players waived include undrafted defensive lineman Dion Wilson Jr., seventh-round rookie Evan Beernsten, and undrafted running back Dontae McMillan. Beernsten's release is particularly significant as he was a draft pick. McMillan had previously shown promise with a notable 63-yard run in the final preseason game. The Ravens may look to bring Ward back to their practice squad if he clears waivers.
