Wade (ribs) has been participating in the Ravens' OTAs.
Wade spent his 2024 rookie season on the Ravens' practice squad, and he subsequently spent the 2025 campaign on injured reserve following rib surgery. The Ole Miss product had had time to recover and is back on the field as he vies for a role this offseason. The Ravens drafted two wide receivers (Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt) in the first four rounds, so Wade likely needs to play a role on special teams to earn a 53-man roster spot for 2026.

Ravens' Dayton Wade: Paces pass catchers Friday
Rotowire
Wade caught four of five targets for 27 yards in the Ravens' preseason loss to the Eagles on Friday.
The undrafted rookie out of Mississippi saw plenty of action Friday as he led the team in targets, receptions and yards. Wade (5-foot-9, 175 pounds) was an important part of Ole Miss' passing game in 2023, as he averaged 10.1 yards per target over 6.3 targets per game. Still, Wade will need to stack these types of performances while contributing on special teams to keep his 53-man roster hopes alive. That said, Friday's outing puts him on the radar heading into the second preseason game against the Falcons.
