Ravens elevate WR Dez Bryant, 2 others from practice squad for Week 11

The Baltimore Ravens could use a little help in Week 11. They’re set to face off against the Tennessee Titans today and have looked to their practice squad for the necessary bodies to build the best gameday roster possible.

Per the transaction report, the Ravens have elevated wide receiver Dez Bryant, offensive lineman Will Holden, and tight end Luke Wilson.

This is the second time Baltimore has brought Bryant up from the practice squad for gameday. Per the NFL’s rules, players are eligible to be elevated from the practice squad just twice, meaning if the Ravens want to see Bryant on the field after this week, they’ll need to make room for him on the 53-man roster.

With the wide receivers struggling to get open and the passing offense stagnate because of it, there’s hope Bryant will be a bit of a savior as an outside possession receiver. Bryant was active in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts but played just two offensive snaps in that game, seeing no targets.

Wilson was just signed to the practice squad following Nick Boyle heading to injured reserve. It’s unclear just how big of a role he’ll have this week but with only Mark Andrews on the 53-man roster now and no other tight ends elevated from the practice squad for this game, it seems as though Wilson will play an integral part this week.
