So much for needing a lot of time to shake off the rust.
The Ravens have activated second-year tight end Nick Boyle to the 53-man roster after he came off a 10-week suspension earlier this week, meaning he’ll likely see game action this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Baltimore released defensive back Asa Jackson to make room for Boyle on the roster. Jackson had yet to see any game action since returning to Baltimore about a month ago.
Boyle hasn’t played in a game since Dec. 6, 2015. He served a four-game suspension at the end of last season for violating the league’s performance enhancing drug policy, then began this year on the shelf for 10 weeks after a second violation.
