Baltimore signed two tight ends and added Brent Urban among eight roster moves made by the Ravens on Saturday afternoon
Baltimore announced eight total roster moves on Saturday and Sunday, with the shocker being the release of undrafted rookie kicker John Hoyland. In all, the Ravens signed Brent Urban, Scotty Washington, and Baylor Cupp, while releasing Hoyland, tight end Sam Pitz, and linebacker Diwun Black.
Selected by Baltimore in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL draft, Urban will enter Year 12 in the league looking to help bolster one of the league’s top defensive line groups. Urban played in 13 games last season and made 20 tackles. He helped the Ravens rank as the NFL’s top run defense.
A big, physical tight end, the 6-foot-5, 240-pound Washington was on Baltimore’s practice squad the last two years and will return with Isaiah Likely rehabbing a surgically repaired foot.
The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Cupp is a former top recruit who played collegiately at Texas A&M and Texas Tech and spent last year on the Chiefs’ practice squad.
Hoyland had been part of a two-man competition with Tyler Loop to replace Justin Tucker as Baltimore’s kicker, but he appears to have lost out to the sixth-round pick from Arizona.
Waived TE Sam Pitz
The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Minnesota Duluth product caught 71 balls for 940 yards and 17 touchdowns during a four-year college career, including a 33-360-2 line in 11 games last year.
Waived LB Diwun Black
Black (6-3, 246) logged 23 tackles (19 solo), including six tackles for loss, three sacks, and two forced fumbles during his lone season at Temple.
Johnson spent his first four seasons in Cleveland and the last two years in Jacksonville. He has 214 career carries for 989 yards and three touchdowns.
He’ll join Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, and Rasheen Ali on the Ravens’ depth chart.
Hutchinson (6-4, 305) signed with Baltimore following the 2025 NFL draft after he appeared in 41 games during his stint at Albany (2019-23), earning second-team All-CAA honors in his final season.
