Keith Kirkwood: Everything you need to know

Kirkwood reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Kirkwood was elevated to Baltimore's active roster for Sunday's regular-season finale against Pittsburgh but ended up being inactive during the loss. It was his lone elevation of 2025, and the veteran wide receiver has not appeared in a regular-season game since 2023 as a member of the Saints.

The Ravens elevated Kirkwood from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday night's game against the Steelers. Kirkwood will draw his first elevation of the 2025 season in Week 18. With Rashod Bateman (illness) ruled out for Sunday's divisional clash, Kirkwood will likely sit on the active roster as a depth wide receiver. The majority of the snaps at receiver will likely go to Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins, Devontez Walker, Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester, with Kirkwood unlikely to see much action unless one of the aforementioned players succumbs to injury.

Baltimore signed Kirkwood to the practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports. Kirkwood will start the regular season on the Ravens' practice squad for a second straight year. He didn't end up playing in a single regular-season game in 2024, but he is a candidate to being elevated to the active roster should the Ravens require depth at wide receiver.
