The Baltimore Ravens are finalizing their roster ahead of the 53-player limit due by Tuesday afternoon.
They have released veteran wide receiver Anthony Miller and rookie tight end Qadir Ismail, both of whom faced tough competition for a spot.
Miller, who had joined the Ravens recently, impressed during his short tenure, while Ismail, son of former Ravens player Qadry Ismail, showed significant progress after switching positions.
The Ravens also released running back Chris Collier earlier in the day, indicating further cuts are expected as the deadline approaches.
