Ravens place Daryl Worley on injured reserve list and raise Kenyan Drake

The Ravens made several roster changes heading into Sunday’s Week 5 game against the Steelers.

Veteran safety Daryl Worley (shoulder) has been placed on injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least the next four games. Running back Kenyan Drake and wide receiver Laquon Treadwell were waived from the practice squad.

Worley was injured during Baltimore’s Week 4 win over the Browns and has played well this season, especially in Week 3 against the Colts when he played a career-high 102 snaps – 76 on defense and 26 on special teams. After Worley was injured in Cleveland, Arthur Maulet came into the game and had his biggest performance of the season at nickel corner.

Maulet could continue to play a prominent role in Nickel Sunday’s matchup against the Steelers, a team Maulet played with the previous two seasons. The Steelers released Maulet in May after he failed to reach an agreement with Pittsburgh on a contract extension.

Drake will be part of the guard rotation, joining Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. Hill (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday’s practice but is listed as questionable. Drake provides additional depth as a running back and receiver out of the backfield.

Treadwell was active in Week 4 against Cleveland and played 17 snaps exclusively on special teams. Baltimore’s wide receiver rotation may be healthier than at any time in the last few weeks, with Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) saying he expects to play and Rashod Bateman (hamstring) being a full participant in practice all week. However, Treadwell adds more depth at wide receiver when needed.
