The Ravens added another key blocker to their rushing attack Friday, activating tight end Charlie Kolar off injured reserve.
Kolar, who broke his forearm in the Week 12 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, was a full participant in practice this week and is expected to play in Saturday’s regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns. The third-year veteran has developed into a reliable in-line blocker and also has nine catches for 131 yards and a touchdown this season.
“Usually, when you have a break like that, it’s pretty predictable,” coach John Harbaugh said Monday. “So they were telling us that he had a good chance to be back for the Cleveland game, so we’ll see how he looks this week. Hopefully, he’s feeling good and ready to go.”
In a corresponding move, cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis (hamstring) was placed on IR for the second time this season. Armour-Davis was a limited participant in his return to practice this week, but injuries have restricted his opportunities to contribute. He hasn’t played more than eight games in a season over his first three years in Baltimore and will likely finish his 2024 season with seven total appearances.

The Ravens also elevated practice squad wide receiver Anthony Miller and defensive lineman Chris Wormley for Saturday’s game. Miller had one catch for 16 yards, his first reception since 2021, in the Ravens’ Week 17 win over the Houston Texans, while Wormley will make his third appearance this year.
