After news broke that they had waived veteran kicker Billy Cundiff earlier Sunday, the Ravens continued trimming their preseason roster from 90 players down to 75.
The most notable of the eight other players to be waived Sunday was tight end Davon Drew, who was a 2009 fifth-round pick of the Ravens but never established himself as a legitimate NFL player in Baltimore. Drew entered training camp as the favorite to win the third tight end job behind Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta. However, he failed to take advantage of increased reps after the two tight ends went down with injuries this summer and was supplanted by veteran tight end Billy Bajema on the totem pole.
The Ravens also announced they had waived wide receivers Devin Goda and Patrick Wiliams, offensive lineman Addison Lawrence, center Cecil Newton, cornerback Jordan Maybin, long snapper Patrick Scales, and quarterback Chester Stewart.
Newton is the brother of Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.
The roster currently stands at 81 players and must be down to 75 by 4 p.m. Monday.

Ravens had little choice but to draft Ioane to anchor interior offensive line
Protecting Lamar Jackson and getting the interior offensive line to a better place were just too important to put off any longer.
Telling four decades of the history of local high school sports
No one has covered local high school sports longer or better than Gary Adornato, who joins Nestor at Koco's Pub and updates us on the modern journalism and news gathering being done on the prep circuit in the era of NIL, and with college sports in disarray and kids focusing on one sport far earlier. We've come a long way since the "All Metro" pages of The Baltimore Sun back in the 1980s...
