The Ravens signed Mitchell-Paden to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. Mitchell-Paden spent most of the 2024 regular season on the Ravens' practice squad after being cut by the Browns at the end of training camp in late August. The 25-year-old tight end out of Florida Atlantic has yet to play in an NFL regular-season game since signing with the Browns as an undrafted free agent in 2022. Mitchell-Paden will have an opportunity to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp in the hopes of earning a spot on the Ravens' 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.
Mitchell-Paden has been re-signed to Baltimore's practice squad, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports. The FAU product will make his return to the practice squad with tight end Qadir Ismail (undisclosed) being placed on the injured list. Mitchell-Paden has yet to appear in an NFL game.
Mitchell-Paden was cut from the Ravens' practice squad Thursday, Matt Ryan of the team's official site reports. The tight end was waived to make room for offensive lineman Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu. Mitchell-Paden signed with Baltimore's practice squad in September after getting waived with an injury designation by the Browns in late August. The Florida Atlantic product has yet to appear in an NFL game.
The Ravens signed Mitchell-Paden (undisclosed) to their practice squad Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. The Maryland native was waived by the Browns with an injury designation in late August, but following his addition to Baltimore's practice squad, it appears he's moved past his undisclosed issue. Mitchell-Paden has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game after going undrafted out of Florida Atlantic in 2022.
The Browns waived Mitchell-Paden (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports. Mitchell-Paden sustained an undisclosed injury during Cleveland's preseason contest against the Vikings nearly two weeks ago. However, it now appears he's past the issue, as he was dropped by the Browns without an injury designation Tuesday. The Florida Atlantic product has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game, but he may return to the Browns' practice squad if he clears waivers.
Mitchell-Paden caught four-of-four targets for 59 yards and limped off the field with an undisclosed injury late in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said following the game that he expects Mitchell-Paden to be okay. He was one of two tight ends to sustain an injury. Giovanni Ricci was removed late in the first half with a knee injury and immediately ruled out. Stefanski did not provide an update on Ricci, who projects as a special teams player and third tight end. Mitchell-Paden could move up the depth chart pending Ricci's status.
