OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Baltimore Ravens have shaken up their secondary two days after allowing six touchdown passes to Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger by cutting Dominique Franks and Chykie Brown.
The Ravens claimed Danny Gorrer off waivers from the Detroit Lions and promoted Tramain Jacobs from the practice squad. Gorrer, who has two career starts, may start alongside Lardarius Webb in Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.
These changes came after the Ravens gave up 340 yards passing to Roethlisberger in a 43-23 loss at Heinz Field. Franks, who was starting in place of the injured Jimmy Smith, gave up five catches including a touchdown. Brown was burned by Antonio Brown for a 54-yard touchdown in limited action.
Gorrer, 28, played 11 games for the Ravens in 2011 and has been on three teams (Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Lions) in the past four seasons. Jacobs, an undrafted rookie out of Texas A&M, was cut by the Ravens afar the final preseason game.
Smith, the Ravens’ top cornerback, is expected to be sidelined for Sunday’s game with a sprained foot but may have a chance to return following next week’s bye.
