The Ravens waived Cleveland on Thursday.
Cleveland missed the Ravens' last three games while serving a suspension for violating the NFL's Substances of Abuse Policy, and while that suspension was lifted Monday, he will not be on the Ravens' active roster heading into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Steelers. Cleveland could opt to stay with the Ravens on the practice squad or explore his options elsewhere.

The Ravens are re-signing Cleveland to a contract.
