The Ravens re-signed wide receiver Xavier Guillory ahead of this week’s draft, bringing back a player who spent training camp and preseason with Baltimore last year before a broken collarbone ended his season. Guillory, an undrafted rookie from Arizona State, will compete for a spot on the 53-man roster.
Guillory is 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, and he showed enough in limited action last summer to earn another look. He caught three passes for 17 yards in preseason play before suffering the season-ending injury in the 2025 preseason finale against the Washington Commanders.
His return comes as Baltimore is widely expected to draft a wide receiver this week, a move that would add another layer to the position battle. The Ravens also still have DeAndre Hopkins on the free-agent market and have seen Tylan Wallace head to Cleveland, leaving more openings for players trying to make an impression.
That means Guillory is walking back into a crowded, unsettled room rather than a clean path to a job. Baltimore has also been active elsewhere, signing former Oklahoma punter Luke Elzinga, defensive end Trey Hendrickson to a reported four-year deal, blocking tight end Durham Smythe and Jovaughn Gwyn for added offensive line depth, while parting ways with quarterback Cooper Rush after re-signing Tyler Huntley as Lamar Jackson’s backup. The team also retained eight players from its practice squad.
For Guillory, the next step is straightforward and unforgiving: prove he can stay healthy, show the preseason production was not a fluke and make a case against draft picks and veterans alike. He did more at Arizona State in 2024, catching 22 passes for 339 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games, and Baltimore is betting that is enough to justify another chance.
