The Ravens continued tinkering with their 53-man roster Wednesday by claiming former San Diego Chargers defensive end Lawrence Guy off waivers to boost depth along a banged-up defensive line.
Having already lost young defensive linemen Brent Urban and Kapron Lewis-Moore to season-ending injuries during training camp, the Ravens were without veteran starter Chris Canty during Wednesday’s practice before signing Guy, who was let go by San Diego on Tuesday. Rookie defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan is also currently out with a meniscus injury to his knee.
Baltimore cut wide receiver Deonte Thompson for the second time in less than a week to make room for Guy on the 53-man roster.
The 24-year-old was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the seventh round of the 2011 draft and eventually caught on with Indianapolis in 2012 after spending his rookie season on injured reserve. In 24 career games with the Colts and Chargers, Guy has collected 38 tackles, one sack, and four pass breakups.
Guy had appeared in each of the Chargers’ first three games, playing 47 snaps but failing to record any tackles.
The Ravens also announced they re-signed running back Fitz Toussaint to their practice squad a day after waiving him to make room on the 53-man roster for the returning Thompson.
