One QB bites the dust

The Ravens made their first transaction of training camp before the first practice began. The team signed journeyman tight end Aaron Walker and cut fourth-string quarterback Brad Roach.

Walker, a fifth-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 2003, has 25 career catches in three NFL seasons with the 49ers and St. Louis Rams. Considered a blocking specialist, Walker suffered a season-ending shoulder injury with the Rams last season.

Roach was an undrafted quarterback from Catawba. That leaves the Ravens with Kyle Boller, Troy Smith and Joe Flacco at quarterback.
