Teddye Buchanan returns, increasing competition for Ravens linebacker Trenton Simpson

Teddye Buchanan was activated from the physically unable to perform list just before the Ravens' preseason game against the Eagles. His return adds depth to Baltimore's linebacker corps, where Trenton Simpson aims to secure a starting role. Simpson has participated fully in the offseason and training camp, showing familiarity with the defense. Meanwhile, Buchanan will gradually re-enter practice after recovering from an ACL tear. The Ravens may utilize both players depending on matchup needs, allowing Simpson to continue contributing even as competition intensifies.
