Unfortunately, the roster space came in the form of Michael Pierce\u2019s placement on injured reserve, a potentially devastating loss for an already-reeling Ravens defense. Pierce suffered a calf injury in the second quarter of Baltimore\u2019s loss to the\u00a0Browns\u00a0on Sunday and did not return.<\/p>\n<div id=\"Z7PxRX\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1851680715290620179&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.baltimorebeatdown.com%2F2024%2F10%2F30%2F24283806%2Fravens-defensive-tackle-placed-on-injured-reserve-diontae-johnson-added-to-53-man-roster&amp;sessionId=6c5da8766f3181861da9027fe90f75faabf0a87e&amp;siteScreenName=BMoreBeatdown&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1851680715290620179\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"NUUlHK\">The Ravens defense has been struggling enough as it is, but they could still hang their hat on being one of the top run-defense groups in the league. Pierce\u2019s absence could threaten that status, the front seven seemed to struggle against the run after Pierce and Brent Urban (concussion) exited the game. Hopefully, Urban will clear concussion protocol and return quickly, but Pierce is one of the most stout nose tackles in the league, making his loss is a big one for this unit.<\/p>\n<p id=\"pkXc5m\">The Ravens do have some options for this upcoming week. Chris Wormley has been on the practice squad for a couple of weeks now and should be ready to go. The Ravens also just added defensive tackle Josh Tupou following the Browns game. Justin Madubuike played a career-high of 86% of snaps, which is not ideal for keeping the $100 million pass rusher fresh enough to make an impact late in games. Broderick Washington also played a season-high 61% of snaps with Travis Jones limited to just 15 total snaps due to an ankle injury. Jones should hopefully get healthier for Denver and play a bigger role during what has been a breakout season for him. Denver has one of the best offensive line units in the league, so having a fresh and deep defensive line will be paramount to the defense\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<p id=\"bzsxJe\">In other news, Diontae Johnson was announced as wearing #18 in the purple and black. Johnson wore 18 during his time in Pittsburgh but wore #5 during his eight weeks in Carolina. He comes back to the familiar number in the familiar AFC North, now wearing it for his former division rival.<\/p>\n<div id=\"sIybZ0\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-1\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-1&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1851678779241816376&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.baltimorebeatdown.com%2F2024%2F10%2F30%2F24283806%2Fravens-defensive-tackle-placed-on-injured-reserve-diontae-johnson-added-to-53-man-roster&amp;sessionId=6c5da8766f3181861da9027fe90f75faabf0a87e&amp;siteScreenName=BMoreBeatdown&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1851678779241816376\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"cQaW2G\">\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"formatter-datter\" class=\"u-hidden-text\" data-cid=\"site\/entry_formatter-1730346815_4928_153641\" data-cdata=\"{&quot;svg_hr_illustration&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\"><\/div>\n<section class=\"c-nextclick\">\n<div class=\"c-related-list\" data-cid=\"site\/related_list-1730346815_3242_153642\" data-cdata=\"{}\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ravens placed veteran defensive tackle on injured reserve, opening a spot on the 53-man roster for WR Diontae Johnson The Ravens made two roster moves just&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4067,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ravens defensive tackle placed on injured reserve; Diontae Johnson added to 53-man roster!
