Leary signed with the Ravens' practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.
Leary was a sixth-round selection for Baltimore in the 2024 Draft, but he was unable to beat out Josh Johnson for the No. 2 spot behind starter Lamar Jackson in camp. Instead, he'll serve as the No. 3 quarterback option while on the practice squad.

Devin Leary: Waived by Baltimore
Rotowire
Leary was waived by the Ravens on Tuesday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
The quarterback failed to catch on behind Lamar Jackson and Josh Johnson despite being selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Leary played his college ball at NC State and Kentucky, and tossed 35 touchdowns as a junior.
The Ravens selected Leary in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 218th overall.
Leary showed the ability to produce in both the ACC and SEC as the quarterback for NC State and Kentucky, respectively. His redshirt junior season with the Wolfpack was the best of his career, as he tossed 35 touchdowns and threw for 3,433 yards. Leary has good arm strength and should stick on a roster as a backup -- perhaps to Lamar Jackson -- though he had a concerning dip in accuracy in his final collegiate campaign for Kentucky (56.3 completion percentage).
