As they prepare to emerge from their bye week, the Ravens considered allowing a former first-round pick to emerge from football exile.
Per a league source, the Ravens gave former Browns defensive tackle Phil Taylor a tryout on Tuesday.
A first-round pick in 2011, Taylor was cut by the Browns at his request before the season, after rookie Danny Shelton emerged as the starter. Taylor, who is being paid $5.477 million this year by the Browns, quickly had a visit with the Steelers, who passed due to a lingering knee problem.
The Ravens have not yet signed Taylor, and there’s no indication that they will.
