The Baltimore Ravens released veteran wide receiver Chris Moore on Saturday, and according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, the talented wide receiver is set to return as a member of the practice squad. As a vested veteran with enough accrued time, Moore was free to sign with any team. Moore delivered one of Baltimore’s best offensive performances during its 41-3 preseason victory over the Washington Commanders. He caught three passes for a game-high 54 yards during the opening possession, including a contested 25-yard touchdown from Tyler Huntley.
The performance provided a final reminder of the dependable depth Moore can offer, but Baltimore’s investment in several young receivers made his path to the initial roster difficult.

and DB Amani Oruwariye, who were released by Ravens over the weekend, are vested veterans who are not subject to waiver process. Both are planning to re-sign with the Ravens practice squad, per source.

Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman lead the group, while Ja’Kobi Lane, Elijah Sarratt, Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester round out the receiving group on the roster. Keeping Moore would have required the Ravens to carry seven receivers or expose one of their younger players to waivers.
Moore, 33, began his career with Baltimore after being selected in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL draft. He spent five seasons with the Ravens before playing for Houston, Tennessee, Arizona and Washington. He returned to Baltimore shortly before training camp.
