BALTIMORE _ On cut-down day in the NFL, the Ravens kept one former first-round pick and parted ways with another.
Robert Griffin III, a former No. 2 overall pick who signed with the Ravens this offseason, made the team's 53-man roster as its third quarterback. Wide receiver and former first-round pick Breshad Perriman was among those waived.
NFL teams now can sign up to 10 players to their practice squad. (All AFC North teams, including the Ravens, can carry an 11th practice squad member this season as part of the International Player Pathway program.) Those players, who do not count against the 53-man roster, must clear waivers and become a free agent before signing with a practice squad.
To be eligible for the practice squad, a player cannot have spent more than three seasons on an NFL practice squad. Of the 10 noninternational practice squad members, only four can have as many as two accrued seasons, meaning they have been on a team's roster, injured reserve or PUP list for more than six games.
Teams can make practice squad signings after 1 p.m. Sunday. Practice squad members can be signed by other teams at any time.
