What happened: The Baltimore Ravens signed tight end Nick Vannett to their practice squad on Wednesday. The transaction follows Baltimore's decision to release Vannett from the 53-man roster on Tuesday.
Why it matters: Vannett provides Baltimore with experienced depth at tight end while remaining within the organization. The veteran joined the Ravens in September after entering the league as a third-round pick by Seattle in 2016. Stashing him on the practice squad gives the team roster flexibility without occupying an active-roster spot.
By the numbers: Vannett caught 17 passes for 135 yards and 3 touchdowns in 17 games last season (2024) with the Titans.
What to watch: Baltimore prepares for its upcoming regular-season matchup, with Vannett eligible for standard practice-squad elevation on game day.
