The Baltimore Ravens have waived undrafted rookie cornerback Lardarius Webb Jr. as they continue trimming their roster, according to Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun.
Webb's arrival in Baltimore created one of the Ravens' most compelling offseason stories. His father, Lardarius Webb Sr., spent his entire nine-year NFL career with the organization, recorded 15 interceptions and helped Baltimore win Super Bowl XLVII.
The younger Webb signed with the Ravens after completing his college career at Wake Forest. He recorded 36 tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack and seven pass breakups during his final college season.
Webb continued making plays during the preseason despite limited opportunities. The 5-foot-9, 177-pound cornerback finished with two solo tackles, one forced fumble and one pass breakup. His ability to play outside, in the slot and on special teams gave him some positional flexibility.
Baltimore's depth at cornerback created a difficult path to the initial 53-man roster. Nate Wiggins, Marlon Humphrey and Chidobe Awuzie lead the group, while T.J. Tampa, Bilhal Kone, Keyon Martin and fifth-round rookie Chandler Rivers entered the final weekend competing for reserve roles.
