Ravens waive former USC cornerback Iman Marshall

NFL teams have already started reporting to training camp, which means roster moves will be fast and furious. The Baltimore Ravens got the ball rolling on Saturday with their roster adjustments when they announced they waived former USC Trojans cornerback Iman Marshall.

The Ravens selected Marshall with the 127th pick in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Baltimore had high hopes for the Long Beach native, looking to team him up with another California native in Marcus Peters and Alabama‘s Marlon Humphrey. Unfortunately, after playing in just three games in his rookie season due to multiple injuries, Marshall has not seen any regular season action since then. Marshall was lost before the start of the 2020 season after he suffered a torn ACL in August and failed to make it back to the active roster in 2021.

With the Raven set to start training camp on Wednesday, the team still has a total of 10 cornerbacks on their active roster. That list includes Peters, who missed the majority of last season with a torn ACL, Humphrey, and many more.

If Marshall is healthy enough to play, he shouldn’t have too difficult of a time landing an audition with another NFL franchise. However, if the 25-year-old former Trojan is still struggling with his injuries, then sadly, this might be the last we see of him in the NFL.

Ravens place multiple stars on PUP list to begin training camp

Training camp is nearly here and for the Baltimore Ravens, there are a few injuries to deal with heading into the season. Some of the team’s biggest stars will not be with them as multiple players were placed on the PUP list per a report.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, left tackle Ronnie Stanley, running backs JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards, cornerback Marcus Peters, linebacker Tyus Bowser, and safety Ar’Darius Washington are all physically unable to perform as training camp kicks off. Most of those names are expected to be major contributors for Baltimore this season and getting them back and fully healthy will be a top priority.

However, the most significant name might be Dobbins. Not because of his start status but because of his recent callout of Rapoport. After the insider reported the running back’s knee injury was a serious one and his Week 1 status might be in question, Dobbins decided to fire back. He said he might not even hit the PUP list on July 18 but four days later, he’s being placed there by the Ravens
