Ravens promote RB Devonta Freeman to active roster, sign OL Foster Sarell to practice squad

The Baltimore Ravens continue to shuffle their roster after injuries have decimated them at multiple positions. One of the areas of the team that has been hit the hardest by injuries is at running back. With J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill all out for the season, Baltimore has signed a lot of new faces that they hope can pick up what’s been lost from a production standpoint.

After releasing running back Trenton Cannon and seeing him get claimed by the San Fransisco 49ers on waivers, the Ravens promoted running back Devonta Freeman to the active roster in his place. The team also signed offensive tackle Foster Sarell to the practice squad.

Freeman has 1,005 carries for 4,144 yards and 33 rushing touchdowns in his career to go along with 264 receptions for 2,073 yards and 11 receiving touchdowns. He’s a versatile option that can help the Baltimore both on the ground and through the air. He’ll be splitting carries with fellow running backs Ty’Son Williams, Latavius Murray, and potentially Le’Veon Bell if he gets called up from the practice squad.

Sarell gives the Ravens offensive tackle depth after seeing their offensive line struggle in Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Sarell was with Baltimore for training camp after being undrafted out of Stanford University.
