Matt Elam

With the activation of Elam, the Ravens cut backup corner Robertson Daniel. Elam, coming off minor surgery, is himself expected to serve as a backup safety.

Just over a week since returning from the IR, Matt Elam has a good shot at making his season debut in Week 10 against the Browns. After losing Kendrick Lewis to a thigh injury, the Ravens will likely need help at the safety position which is where Elam comes in.

Elam was coming off a nice camp, but underwent a knee scope to remove a chip. A first round pick in 2013, Elam has struggled throughout the beginning of his career. The move frees up a roster spot for the Ravens.

Elam will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his knee to remove a chip. There is no timetable for his return but it is very likely that he'll be put on injured reserve which would end his season. It has been a struggle for Elam since being taken in the first round in 2013, but he was earning some praise for his training camp performance this year.
