Bynes went undrafted in the 2011 NFL Draft. He was later signed as an undrafted free agent by the Baltimore Ravens. In the preseason finale, Bynes made a strong case for a roster spot with a six tackle, two sack game for Baltimore. He was, however, released. After trying out for several teams, Bynes was resigned to the practice squad by the Ravens after injuries to linebackers Ray Lewis and Dannell Ellerbe. Bynes was upgraded to the active roster in a Thanksgiving Day win over the San Francisco 49ers but was inactive. Bynes was later released again. In 2012, Bynes suffered a cracked vertebrae during training camp. He was added to the active roster on October 17, replacing Ray Lewis, who was moved to injured reserve. Bynes made his first career start on December 16, against the Denver Broncos, where he made a career-best 13 tackles in a 34–17 loss. In Super Bowl XLVII, Bynes tackled Ted Ginn, Jr. after a free kick in the final seconds of the game to clinch the Ravens victory. Bynes began the 2013 season as a starter but gradually saw his playing time decrease after Jameel McClain returned from an injury in week 7. Even still, Bynes had the statistically best season of his career ending the year with 45 total tackles.
