Baltimore Ravens Wide Receivers Keith Kirkwood Anthony Miller

The Baltimore Ravens have elevated wide receivers Keith Kirkwood and Anthony Miller from the practice squad for Saturday night’s Wild Card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The move comes as the team faces the absence of star receiver Zay Flowers, who is sidelined with a knee injury.

Kirkwood, a veteran with 31 career appearances, has recorded 24 receptions for 284 yards and three touchdowns since entering the league in 2018. He spent most of the 2024 season on the Ravens’ practice squad after signing with the team in the offseason. Miller, a former Chicago Bears standout, has 141 career receptions for 1,605 yards and 12 touchdowns. He appeared in two games for the Ravens this season, catching one pass for 16 yards in Week 17.

Both players will provide depth to a receiving corps that includes Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, and Tylan Wallace. The Ravens announced the roster moves on social media, emphasizing their temporary nature, as both players will revert to the practice squad after the game.

The Steelers and Ravens are set to kick off at 8 PM EST in a highly anticipated AFC Wild Card matchup. The game will be broadcast nationally, with both teams vying for a spot in the divisional round of the playoffs.
