The Ravens designated tight end Nick Boyle to return from the injured reserve list, per a club announcement. Meanwhile, they reversed course on their waiver claim of Brandon Knight, as the former Cowboys offensive lineman did not report to the team. Instead, the Ravens pivoted to veteran offensive lineman James Carpenter.
Boyle opened the year on IR as he was still healing up from his November knee injury. A recent microscopic surgery helped somewhat but also elongated his rehab. The good news is that Boyle is back to provide blocking for a Ravens squad that will be without Ronnie Stanley. The All-Pro left tackle opted to go under the knife this week, ruling him out for the rest of the year.
Boyle’s best season as a receiver came in 2019 when he had 31 catches for 321 yards and two touchdowns. The Ravens still have him under contract through 2023 thanks to the two-year, $13M extension he inked back in January.
