Michael Pierce: Retiring from football
Pierce announced his retirement Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Pierce played eight seasons as a pro after Baltimore signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Samford in 2016. He earned a reputation as a stout run stopper and now finishes his career having played in 99 games, totaling 238 tackles (136 solo) and 9.5 sacks.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Makes 11 appearances in 2024
Pierce tallied 19 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, across 11 regular-season appearances (one start) in 2024. He also had two passes defensed, including one interception.
Pierce handled a consistent rotational role on defense for Baltimore when healthy, though a calf injury forced him to spend five games on IR. The 32-year-old veteran has one more year remaining in his deal with Baltimore.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Returning to action Week 15
Pierce (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Activated from IR
Pierce (calf) was activated from injured reserve Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, but he remains questionable to suit up.
Pierce missed five games in a row after suffering a calf injury in Week 8 against the Browns, but it seems he's ready to return to the gridiron. He's played in seven games this season, tallying 15 tackles (five solo), 1.0 sacks and one pass defended. If Pierce suits up Sunday, he'll add depth as a nose tackle behind Travis Jones.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Remaining on IR
Pierce (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Pierce will miss a fifth straight game due to a calf injury he suffered in Week 8 against the Browns. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and although he finished the week strong with a full practice Friday, he hasn't progressed in his recovery enough to return for Sunday's contest. With the Ravens on a bye for Week 14, Pierce's next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Giants on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Designated for return
Pierce (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve by Baltimore on Wednesday.
Pierce's 21-day practice window is now open after he missed the Ravens' past four games while on injured reserve. The big-bodied nose tackle will further bolster an already strong Ravens run defense once he returns to the lineup.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Shifts to IR
The Ravens placed Pierce (calf) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Pierce failed to record a stat across 13 defensive snaps before sustaining a calf injury in the Ravens' Week 8 loss to the Browns. The issue now appears serious enough to land Pierce on IR, forcing him to miss Baltimore's next four games. His earliest possible return would be in Week 13 against the Eagles. Expect Broderick Washington to see additional reps with the Ravens' first-team defense while Pierce is sidelined over the coming weeks.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Good to go for Week 5
Pierce (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Pierce was inactive for the Ravens' Week 4 win against the Bills due to a shoulder injury. The extended rest appears to have done the 31-year-old nose tackle some good, and he should be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Pierce has tallied seven tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defended across three regular-season games.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Won't play vs. Buffalo
Pierce (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Pierce was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but he suffered a setback and was downgraded to doubtful Saturday. Sunday will be the first regular-season game Pierce will miss since 2022. Pierce's next shot at playing will be Week 5 against the Bengals on Oct. 6. Pierce is the only nose tackle on the Ravens' active roster, so backup defensive ends Broderick Washington and Brent Urban are candidates to see more snaps on the defensive line alongside starters Nnamdi Madubuike and Travis Jones.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Doubtful for Sunday
Pierce (shoulder) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.
Pierce appeared to be past his shoulder injury after practicing in full Thursday and Friday, but he's now in jeopardy of missing Sunday night's contest. If Pierce isn't able to suit up in Week 4 as expected, Brent Urban and Broderick Washington are projected to see more work with the Ravens' first-team defensive line.
