The former Alabama cornerback returns from injured reserve with the Ravens in a bind

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis to their active roster on Saturday after he spent the last four games on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

The former St. Paul's Episcopal and Alabama star's return comes just in time for the Ravens. First-round cornerback Nate Wiggins will miss Baltimore's game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday because of a shoulder injury.

Former Hoover and Alabama standout Marlon Humphrey left the Ravens' last game with a knee injury, and the Pro Bowl cornerback's status for Sunday's contest is listed as doubtful.

Armour-Davis was among eight players from Alabama high schools and colleges who were cleared to play in Sunday NFL games following transactions on Saturday.

He wasn't the only Alabama alumnus to move from injured reserve to an active roster on Saturday: The Miami Dolphins activated quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Denver Broncos linebacker Kwon Alexander (Oxford), San Francisco 49ers kicker Anders Carlson (Auburn), and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe (Alabama) made their 2024 season debuts last week as members of the practice teams and played starting roles. They were elevated back to active status for Sunday games.

Jobe played 65 snaps in Seattle's secondary in a 34-14 win over the Atlanta Falcons, Alexander played 21 snaps in Denver's 33-10 win over the New Orleans Saints and Carlson scored two field goals, including a 55-yarder, in the Game of San Francisco 28:18 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs.

On Sunday, the Seahawks play the Buffalo Bills, the Broncos play the Carolina Panthers and the 49ers play the Dallas Cowboys.

Each NFL team is allowed to promote two practice squad players to active status for each game.
