Ravens waived LB Robert James. Thanks to Jacoby Jones' knee injury, the Ravens can't afford to keep a roster spot for a pure special teamer like James. They've brought back WR Tandon Doss.

Ravens claimed LB Robert James off waivers from the Falcons. The Ravens are loaded up front defensively and don't need linebacker help, so they're likely projecting 29-year-old James as a core special teamer.

Falcons promoted LB Robert James from their practice squad. James was Atlanta's fifth-round pick back in 2008. A special teams type, he'll take injured vet Mike Peterson's place on the 53-man active roster.
