OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore placed tight end Benjamin Watson and cornerback Kyle Arrington on injured reserve Monday as they begin to trim the roster to 75 players.
Watson, the Ravens' first free-agent signing this offseason, tore his right Achilles tendon on the first play from scrimmage in Saturday's preseason game. That leaves Baltimore with one healthy, experienced tight end in Crockett Gillmore. Dennis Pitta (fractured finger) and Maxx Williams (undisclosed) have been sidelined for most of the preseason, and Darren Waller (four games) and Nick Boyle (10 games) will begin the season on the suspended list.
