The Ravens made the first change to their 53-man roster Monday by placing rookie cornerback Iman Marshall on injured reserve and re-signing veteran safety Brynden Trawick.
Marshall, a fourth-round pick from USC, hasn’t practiced since Aug. 10 with an undisclosed injury, but Baltimore initially kept him on the active roster to maintain his eligibility for a potential designation to return later in the season. The Ravens now have six cornerbacks on the active roster and re-signed veteran Maurice Canady to the practice squad Sunday. Marshall joins slot cornerback Tavon Young on IR, but the latter will miss the entire 2019 season with a neck injury.
Trawick was waived Saturday, but he immediately became a free agent as a vested veteran, making it likely the sides had a handshake agreement that the special-teams standout would be re-signed once Marshall was moved to IR. The 29-year-old began his career in Baltimore as an undrafted free agent from Troy in 2013 and spent three seasons with the Ravens before eventually being named a 2017 Pro Bowl special-teams player as a member of the Tennessee Titans. Trawick should be a core special-teams player and adds depth as a backup dime back.
The Ravens prioritized improving their personnel on special teams this offseason, leading to the signing of cornerback and three-time Pro Bowl selection Justin Bethel in March and the return of Trawick on Aug. 1.
