OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens promoted tight end Phillip Supernaw to the 53-man roster Friday after he rejoined the organization earlier this week.
With rookie Crockett Gillmore missing practices on Thursday and Friday due to a back injury, it’s possible that Supernaw will serve as the No. 2 tight end behind veteran Owen Daniels as the Ravens face a critical road test against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
The 24-year-old has spent most of the season bouncing back and forth between the active roster and the practice squad, but Supernaw spent the last few weeks as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. Appearing in two games and catching one pass for three yards, Supernaw was waived by Kansas City earlier this week before the Ravens re-signed him to the practice squad.
“We’re excited to have the opportunity to bring him back,” head coach John Harbaugh said on Wednesday. “We’re a little thin at tight end with just the two tight ends on the active roster, so that really helps us to have him back.”
Supernaw spent two other stints on the Ravens’ 53-man roster earlier this season, appearing in three games and making one catch for minus-2 yards in the Week 9 loss at Pittsburgh.
The 6-foot-5, 248-pound tight end from Ouachita Baptist spent the entire preseason with the Ravens and is familiar with offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak dating back to their days together in Houston.

Right Now in Baltimore
The Ravens go on the clock with Pick 14 and then move to 'Super Bowl' time
The purple land of hopes and expectations begins on Thursday night with the NFL Draft. Luke Jones and Nestor get you ready for a myriad of draft possibilities and outcomes for Eric DeCosta and the Baltimore Ravens under rookie head coach Jesse Minter. We'll be picking and opining all weekend as spring hopes remain eternal in Owings Mills.
When will the frozen Orioles bats thaw this spring?
Sure, it's not the lineup that manager Craig Albernaz envisioned back in Sarasota in February but the Orioles need to figure out how to stop striking out and start hitting with runners in scoring position. Nestor Aparicio and Luke Jones discussed the Birds' struggles, including a five-game losing streak and scuffling through Kansas City waiting for the roster to get healthier and more productive.
Who can Orioles really count on to "pitch" in as innings add up?
Is there an "ace" in the starting rotation deck for the Baltimore Orioles? Sure, we all believed that Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish would make it look easy and that Shane Baz would pitch to his contract and Chris Bassitt would stabilize the staff and Zach Eflin...and then the season began. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds' pitching depth and scraping by on any win possible in Kansas City.
