According to reports, Baltimore Ravens tight end, Darren Waller has been suspended for offending the substance abuse policy. One would think that this is the last thing a player on the bubble for making the roster would want. Counter-intuitively this may enhance Waller’s chances of staying on the active roster throughout the season.
It is important to note that Waller probably was not going to make the 53 man roster, to face the Buffalo Bills, in week one. Waller is the fifth wheel at the tight end position. The Ravens moved him over to a crowded Tight End group, after originally having him as a wide receiver.
