OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Baltimore Ravens have added nose tackle Michael Pierce to their 53-man roster ahead of their away game against the New York Giants this Sunday.

Pierce had been placed on injured reserve in late October after he sustained a calf injury during a game against the Cleveland Browns. This injury cut short what was his first start of the season, and his return is anticipated to bolster the defensive unit.

In addition to Pierce, the Ravens have also promoted cornerback Desmond King and linebacker William Kwenkeu to participate in this week’s matchup. These moves highlight Baltimore’s efforts to strengthen their roster as they prepare for the challenge of facing the Giants.
