Ravens announce two roster moves ahead of divisional round of AFC playoffs

The Ravens have returned from their one week bye and as the team starts preparation for an AFC divisional matchup, the team has announced two roster moves.

On Monday, the Ravens placed cornerback Pepe Williams (ankle) on injured reserve and wide receiver Laquon Treadwell was released.

On Friday, Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews returned to practice for the first time since ankle surgery, opening his 21-day window to be moved from injured reserve to the active roster.

Andrews hopes to return at some point in the playoffs, and Monday’s moves create two roster openings.

Williams spent most of the season on injured reserve after undergoing ankle surgery in August.

Williams was activated ahead of Week 15 but was inactive the next three games before playing 19 snaps in Week 18 against the Steelers.

Treadwell played in five games this season and caught one pass for 16 yards in Week 18.

Potential moves

Andrews hopes to return at some point in the playoffs.

Baltimore also has wide receiver/returner Devin Duvernay and defensive back Ar’Darius Washington in the middle of their injured reserve practice window.

Head coach John Harbaugh said the coaching staff would make a determination this week if veteran running back Dalvin Cook would be activated off the practice squad for the divisional playoff game. The Ravens signed Cook last week after he was released by the Jets.
