Gorrer

The move clears a spot for S James Ihedigbo. Gorrer held his own in limited snaps on defense last season, but was primarily a special teamer. Ihedigbo is far more accomplished on special teams.

Gorrer was primarily a special teamer with the Ravens last season. He offers depth at cornerback after Byron Maxwell suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2.

Gorrer was waived on Tuesday. He appeared in 11 games for the Ravens last season, making five tackles. He’ll provide depth for a Bucs team that could be without Eric Wright (Achilles) in addition to Aqib Talib (suspension) this weekend.

With both Jimmy Smith (high-ankle sprain) and Chris Carr (hamstring) out for Week 2, Gorrer might actually see a few snaps in the Ravens secondary. He should be primarily used on special teams.

A pulled groin that was supposed to cost Gorrer a week ends up needing to be surgically repaired. He was competing for the nickel job. Gorrer is not expected to miss the entire year.

Gorrer was competing for nickel duties before going under the knife in late August. Gorrer appeared in six games between the Bucs and Seahawks last season. He’ll be eligible to return in Week 9 in Seattle.

Gorrer came off groin surgery to appear in seven games down the stretch last season. He’ll compete for a roster spot at training camp.

An undrafted free agent this offseason, Gorrer was a two-year starter at Texas A&M.

The Ravens also lost RCB Anthony Levine to a concussion in Sunday’s win over Miami, further depleting a cornerback corps that already lost top cover man Jimmy Smith to I.R. Gorrer was technically the Ravens’ nickel back, but was playing regular snaps at left corner. Baltimore will have to dig deep into its cornerback depth, bumping Asa Jackson and Rashaan Melvin up the depth chart.

Gorrer was waived by the Lions on Monday. He should step in and play heavy snaps right away for the Ravens. Baltimore’s only healthy corners are Lardarius Webb and Tramain Jacobs after they waived Dominique Franks and Chykie Brown on Monday. Gorrer was largely ineffective in 174 snaps for the Lions before earning his walking papers.
