Former Raven and Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe talks about how offenses are built around tight ends.

Ravens bring back several players waived yesterday and also add colorful cornerback Charles James from Houston Texans.

Asa Jackson and Robert Myers, two players that the Ravens waived yesterday, were picked up on waivers by the New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts respectively.

In getting down to a 53-man roster Saturday, the Ravens showed a willingness to move on from their draft picks, the importance that they place on special teams and how much they value having defensive depth.

With the Ravens needing to cut down their roster from 75 to 53 by Saturday at 6 p.m., there will undoubtedly be some anxious moments for many players over the next two days. However, recent history suggests that the 10 members from the team¿s 2013 draft class shouldn¿t worry.

A little more than seven months after he missed a 32-yard field goal that thwarted the Ravens¿ Super Bowl hopes and just three days after he was benched for an undrafted rookie in the third preseason game, Billy Cundiff was waived by the Ravens today, according to multiple sources.

In addition to cutting former Pro Bowl kicker Billy Cundiff today, the Ravens also released former fifth-round tight end Davon Drew and seven other players.

Three weeks away from the first weekend of the NFL season, injured tight ends Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta are on the mend and optimistic that they will be ready for the Sept. 10 season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The final portion of the Ravens' practice involved the 2-minute drill. From their own 32-yard line, quarterback Joe Flacco and the offense marched 68 yards, capping the drive with a pass from Flacco to wide receiver Tandon Doss, who scampered 21 yards to the end zone. Coach John Harbaugh immediately signaled the end of practice after the score.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Ed Dickson only suffered a sprained right shoulder against the Atlanta Falcons and didn't incur any structural damage Thursday night as a magnetic resonance imaging exam confirmed the initial diagnosis, according to a source.

Dickson, the starting tight end who caught 54 balls for 528 yards and five touchdowns last season, sustained an apparent arm injury on the touchdown catch.

Billy Bajema, 29, an eight-year veteran, started 25 games for the St. Louis Rams from 2009 to 2011, including 12 starts last season. After his three-year contract expired in St. Louis, he remained on the free-agent market until NFL training camps kicked off in late July. The Ravens were the first team to host Bajema for a tryout, and he's excited to be here.

So far, Paul Kruger hasn¿t done anything to disappoint observers. The outside linebacker dove and tipped a pass from quarterback Tyrod Taylor to rookie wide receiver Deonte Thompson. On the very next play, Kruger sacked Taylor. Kruger then sacked Flacco twice.

Thin on tight end depth after Dennis Pitta broke a bone in his right hand in Monday's practice, the Ravens today signed veteran Billy Bajema, who started 11 games for the St. Louis Rams last year.

The Ravens' worst fears about Dennis Pitta were confirmed today when further testing revealed that the third-year tight end has a broken bone in his right hand, according to a team source.

The Ravens may have sustained their first significant injury of training camp as coach John Harbaugh acknowledged following practice today that tight end Dennis Pitta may have broken his hand.

The Ravens¿ front office has long been admired for its decision making during the draft, but Ozzie Newsome, Eric DeCosta and Company also take great pride in the work that they do in the couple of hours following its conclusion. Offensive lineman Mike Flynn and linebackers Bart Scott, Jameel McClain and Dannell Ellerbe are among the undrafted free agents that the Ravens have signed and developed into key contributors.

As we close in on the 2012 NFL draft, we'll take a look at how the Ravens have fared in recent drafts. It's too soon to give a fair evaluation from the 2010 and 2011 classes, but three years of NFL service time is enough for us to grade their 2007, 2008 and 2009 classes. In today's blog post, we will break down the 2009 class.
