Ravens cut tight end and guard
Baltimore releases Nick Vannett and Kyle Hergel as the offense struggles through a four-game losing streak.
By Tomas Gonzalez ·
The Baltimore Ravens released veteran tight end Nick Vannett and offensive guard Kyle Hergel on Tuesday. The team also made changes to its practice squad, cutting guard Michael Jordan and re-signing fullback Lucas Scott.
Vannett played in five games for Baltimore, starting three after Durham Smythe suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 4. He primarily acted as a blocker, playing 28% of the team’s offensive snaps. Hergel appeared in one game against the Cincinnati Bengals, while Jordan joined the practice squad on October 27 but did not play in a game.
The roster moves happen while the Ravens face offensive difficulties, especially in the run game. Running back Derrick Henry has rushed for fewer than 60 yards in each of Baltimore’s four straight losses. He scored only one touchdown during that stretch.
Baltimore recently bolstered its offensive line by trading for center Ryan Neuzil from the Atlanta Falcons ahead of the deadline. Scott, a former Army player who was on the Ravens’ practice squad in 2025, returns to the team after being released last week.
