Fans of the Baltimore team may recognize the name Wormley. He was selected by the Ravens in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Michigan, and he played his first three seasons in Baltimore. He played in 39 games over that period, totaling 54 tackles, four stops for loss, nine quarterback hits, and 2.5 sacks.
Wormley was only ever traded twice, in 2020, by the Ravens to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a late-round choice. This was the only trade between the fierce rivals. In 41 games, the 30-year-old recorded 88 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 14 quarterback hits, and 8.5 sacks, demonstrating his growth as a quality player in Pittsburgh. His career-high seven sacks in 2021 marked his best season; however, an ACL tear in 2022 forced him to miss time.
After that, Wormley played briefly in five games for the Carolina Panthers during the previous season. He has been free agent for a number of months.
Wormley gets an opportunity to restart his career by joining the team who drafted him again. While on the practice squad, he will have ample opportunity to regain his game form. Should he demonstrate glimmer of his previous form, he may eventually make his way back to the active roster.
The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the Baltimore Ravens, and three players stood out.
The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, 26-23, in a miraculous victory. Late in the game, Las Vegas rallied to win even though the Ravens had a double-digit lead almost halfway through the fourth quarter. For Las Vegas, these three players had the greatest influence.
Maxx Crosby Crosby is someone you could easily put on this list each time the Raiders play. He always wrecks havoc on plays, and this past Sunday was no exception. Crosby created a significant issue for the Ravens.
Adams Davante Davante Adams made his presence known in the second half. He connected with quarterback Gardner Minshew for the first time this season, and the two produced some crucial plays to help Las Vegas win today.
Adams caught nine passes for 110 receiving yards, including the game-winning score late in the fourth quarter. He had a significant impact and demonstrated why the Raiders were correct to hold onto him this offseason.
Brock Bowers Although Bowers made a strong league debut in Week 1, this was really his big break. He hauled in nine passes for 98 yards, including some crucial catches toward the end of the game.
Bowers demonstrated why he was regarded as one of the top talents in the NBA class this year. This was not a game that Las Vegas could have won without Bowers and Adams.
