Why is Marlon Brown still taking up a roster spot?

The 2015 season for the Ravens is about the evaluation of the young players, and it has been for several weeks since the injuries to Joe Flacco and Matt Schaub. Every move the Ravens make should be about evaluating the young talent and seeing who fits into the long term plans, while still fielding the most competitive team possible for the given week.

So it must be baffling to Ravens fans everywhere why wide receiver Marlon Brown is still on the active roster, taking up 1 of the 53 spots. Brown has not played in 5 weeks, nor practiced since week 11 while battling a back injury.
