The Ravens made two practice squad elevations for their Week 18 matchup with the Steelers.
The Baltimore Ravens elevated cornerback Amani Oruwariye and wide receiver Keith Kirkwood from their practice squad for Sunday night’s matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Oruwariye has only appeared in one game this year, the Ravens’ Week 12 win over the New York Jets. He played 12 snaps on special teams and will likely have a similar role in Pittsburgh. He is also added cornerback depth in case Marlon Humphrey (illness, listed as questionable) is unable to play.
The Ravens elevated Kirkwood in Week 18 last year, but he did not play a single snap. It might have been to reward Kirkwood with a bigger game check (as a result of being on the active roster on game day), which could again be the case this year. Rashod Bateman is sidelined, but it would be odd for Kirkwood to play over Tylan Wallace or Devontez Walker. Both offer more on offense while also contributing on special teams, and the former is much more important this weekend.
