Ravens cut 12, including S Omar Brown, place 3 on injured reserve

Safety Omar Brown and wide receiver LaQuan Williams are among 12 players cut by the Baltimore Ravens.

Brown was hoping to make the team after seeing action in four games over the past two seasons, but the addition of Terrence Brooks and Darian Stewart blunted his effort.

Williams, who played college ball at Maryland, has seen limited action in three NFL seasons — mostly on special teams.

Those waived by the Ravens on Monday included: linebackers Austin Spitler and Nick DiMarco; offensive tackle David Mims, cornerbacks Deji Olatoye and Marrio Norman; running back Cierre Wood; punter Richie Leone and wide receiver Mike Willie.

Baltimore also waived injured rookie offensive tackle Brett Van Sloten and fullback Shaun Chapas, in addition to placing three players on injured reserve.
