Reminder: CB Fabian Washington has been suspended for the Sept. 7 Bengals' game, as has CB Derrick Martin (see below). A suspended player does not count against a team's roster.
STATEMENT BY AN NFL SPOKESPERSON:
Derrick Martin of the Baltimore Ravens has been suspended without pay for the team's first regular-season game and fined one additional game check for violating the NFL Substance Abuse Policy.
Martin's suspension for the Ravens' first regular-season game will begin on Saturday, August 30. He is eligible to return to the Ravens' active roster on Monday, September 8 following the team's September 7 opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome:
"With the two suspended players (Derrick Martin and Fabian Washington), that gives us 52 players on the current roster. We will add another player before the opener against the Bengals."
