NFL.com : declared in Ravens TE Darren Waller suspended for at least a year

Another Ravens tight end has been sidelined for the 2017 season. Backup tight end Darren Waller was suspended for at least one year without pay for violating the league's policy on substances of abuse, a league spokesperson announced Friday. Waller is the second Baltimore tight end to be lost before training camp. Fortunately, The Ravens entered OTAs with a bounty of solid options at tight end. The Ravens drafted Waller in the sixth round of the 2015 draft.

Tight End Darren Waller Suspended for At Least One Year

Ravens tight end Darren Waller has been suspended without pay by the NFL for at least one year after violating the league's substance abuse policy for a second time in two years. The talented, big-bodied tight end violated the league's substance abuse policy for a second time, resulting in a year-long or longer ban. It's unknown what Waller specifically did to violate the substance abuse policy. The 2015 sixth-round pick has immense potential – he's one of the team's most athletically freakish players given his size and speed – but a second suspension could derail his career. The 6-foot-6, 255-pound Georgia Tech product was suspended for the first four games of last season.


"We plan to use tight ends, obviously, because we have tight ends," Harbaugh said. Ravens tight end Darren Waller has been suspended at least a year without pay after violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy for the second time in as many seasons, the league announced Friday. Waller is the second tight end the Ravens have lost for the season since the beginning of June. Only Nick Boyle, who edged Williams as Pro Football Focus' top-graded rookie tight end in 2015, is healthy. With Pitta and Waller gone, the Ravens have four tight ends on the roster, all of whom are either unproven or aren't 100 percent.
