Tuesday, the Baltimore Ravens cut Steve Hauschka. Wednesday, they made a move to fill his roster spot.
The Ravens signed kicker Billy Cundiff Wednesday to be their new kicker. After Dallas let Cundiff walk he signed with New Orleans in 2006 and hadn’t made an appearance in the NFL until the Cleveland Browns signed him earlier this season. During his time in Cleveland, he went 6-for-6 on field goal attempts and 4-for-4 on extra point tries. I hope Cundiff is a better kicker than Hauschka turned out to be for Baltimore.
The other roster move that was made was the Ravens placed Haruki Nakamura on injured reserve with a broken right ankle. Nakamura’s ankle was broken on the opening kickoff Monday night. To replace Nakamura on the 53-man roster, the Ravens elevated K.J. Gerard from their practice squad.
I liked Gerard in the preseason and apparently, the Ravens did too. Gerard will mostly, if not exclusively, play special teams. I’m happy to see another young player get a shot.
In other news, Terrell Suggs is out Sunday and could be out for at least two weeks. Suggs has a badly sprained knee, if not a partially torn ligament. I expect Suggs to do everything he can to get on the field for at least one of the Steelers games coming up in Weeks 12 and 16.
