Nate Wiggins did not travel with the Ravens, who are making several moves at cornerback

The Ravens have reshuffled their roster at cornerback ahead of Sunday's game in Cleveland, where they will be shorthanded against the Browns.

Cornerback Nate Wiggins (shoulder/illness) did not travel with the team on Saturday and was out later in the day. Starting corner Marlon Humphrey is doubtful to play due to a knee injury that has kept him out of practice all week.

That means two of the Ravens' top three cornerbacks likely won't face a Browns offense that ranks last in the league in passing but has a new play-caller and quarterback, with veteran backup Jameis Winston replaced the injured Deshaun Watson.

The Ravens actually have help on the way as Jalyn Armour-Davis has been activated from injured reserve and is slated to return to the 53-man roster. Armour-Davis missed the last four games with a hamstring injury but returned to full practice this week.

The third-year veteran has played in 15 games and made three starts in his career. He played 15 defensive snaps in the Ravens' first two games. If Humphrey doesn't play, Armor-Davis could move into the starting lineup.

Baltimore should also get veteran slot cornerback Arthur Maulet (knee) back on the field this week.

To make room for Armour-Davis, the Ravens placed fourth-round rookie cornerback TJ Tampa (ankle) on injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least the next four games. Tampa was already ruled out for this week. A core muscle injury hampered the start of Tampa's rookie year.

Baltimore also named undrafted rookie Bump Cooper Jr. from the practice squad for Sunday's game. It will be the Oregon State product's NFL debut.

The Browns received good news on Saturday when they activated three-time Pro Bowl guard Wyatt Teller from injured reserve. It will be his first game since a knee injury.
