The Ravens have elevated veteran tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden from the practice squad for Sunday night's game against the Buffalo Bills.

Mitchell-Paden was among the final roster cuts and spent most of the 2024 season on Baltimore's practice squad. He will provide tight end depth behind Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar with Isaiah Likely (foot) and versatile Pro Bowl fullback Patrick Ricard (calf) ruled out for Sunday .

A native of Rockville, Md., the 26-year-old Mitchell-Paden spent two seasons (2022-23) on the Cleveland Browns' practice squad after being undrafted in 2022 out of Florida Atlantic. He had one catch for 11 yards during the 2025 preseason and has a chance to make his NFL debut after not appearing in any games last season.
