Deonte Thompson, who was cut by the Ravens yesterday, could be brought back to the team next week, tweets Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun. Thompson had an impressive training camp and preseason and there were rumors that the Ravens, who are fairly deep at wide receiver, were looking to trade him to a team intrigued by Thompson’s upside and return skills.
Baltimore cut Thompson in order to promote RB Fitzgerald Toussaint from its practice squad, as Bernard Pierce is unlikely to play in today’s contest against the Browns. However, as long as Thompson clears waivers, it looks as if he will remain in a Ravens uniform for the time being.
