Ravens wide receiver Keenan Reynolds will have to wait until next season to make his NFL regular-season debut. Promoted to the active roster from the practice squad last Friday, the former Navy quarterback was among the Ravens’ seven inactives for the season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The move wasn’t a complete surprise, given Ravens coach John Harbaugh’s comments Friday that it was about “next year” for Reynolds. In promoting Reynolds when they did, the Ravens made sure he’ll be on their roster heading into next season. If they hadn’t, Reynolds, a sixth-round pick in the 2016 draft, technically would have been able to sign a reserve-future deal with another organization.
