John Kelly Latest News
Let go from team
Kelly was cut from the Ravens' practice squad Tuesday. Kelly was elevated from Baltimore's practice squad to their active roster twice this season, handling kick return duties for the team. However, Deonte Harty has taken over that role since, leaving Kelly without much of a role. The Tennessee product will now have to search out a new opportunity.
Goes back to practice squad
Kelly reverted to Baltimore's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Kelly played five snaps during Sunday's 26-23 loss versus the Raiders, all on special teams. The Ravens will be able to elevate him from the practice squad just once more this season before he'd have to be added to the 53-man roster in order to suit up.
Elevated for Week 2
The Ravens elevated Kelly from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Kelly played six special teams snaps in Week 1 against the Chiefs. The 2018 sixth-round pick is expected to reprise his role as the No. 3 running back behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill for Sunday's game against Las Vegas.
Promoted for Thursday night
The Ravens activated Kelly from the practice squad for Thursday night's Week 1 season opener against the Chiefs. With Rasheen Ali (neck) out versus Kansas City, the veteran Kelly gets the call as the Ravens' RB3 behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. Kelly rushed 13 times for 52 yards during the preseason. He's unlikely to play more than a handful of snaps Thursday night.
Inks practice squad deal
Kelly signed with the Ravens' practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports. Kelly spent parts of the last five seasons with the Browns and Rams but found his way to Baltimore on Aug. 13. Despite not making the team's 53-man roster, he'll get a chance to stay around with their practice squad.
Released by Baltimore
Kelly was released by the Ravens on Tuesday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports. The running back signed with the Ravens during training camp after spending most of 2023 on the Browns' practice squad. The 2018 sixth-round pick has not carried the ball in a regular-season game since 2021.
Picked up by Baltimore
The Ravens signed Kelly to a contract Tuesday. Kelly spent most of last season on Cleveland's practice squad but didn't suit up for a regular-season game with the team. The 2018 sixth-round pick now has a chance to compete for a deep depth role in Baltimore, with his best-case scenario likely to be a spot on the practice squad again.
Jettisoned by Cleveland
The Browns released Kelly on Monday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Kelly spent most of the 2023 season on the Browns' practice squad and did not play in the regular season. His last NFL action was in 2022 when he played 14 snaps on special teams in Week 17 against the Commanders. The 2018 sixth-round pick will look to join a team in need of a running back with special teams experience.
