The Ravens are bringing much-needed support back before the start of their regular season.
Baltimore signed a one-year contract with Latavius Murray, a former ally, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Ravens were working to complete the project after Gus Edwards tore his ACL in action on Thursday, showing for the third time that one of the team’s defenders has been injured over the past two weeks. JK Dobbins (ACL torn) and Justice Hill (Achilles torn) also missed the entire 2021 campaign.

A veteran who entered the eighth season in the NFL, Murray has landed in Baltimore a few days after his release from New Orleans. Saints cut off Murray Tuesday after he was named refused to accept a pay cut. The 31-year-old made 656 runs, 176 yards and five touchdowns last season for the Saints team that lost the Buccaneers Super Bowl players in the division.
While it is difficult to predict how much Murray will play in Week 1, he appears to be a key figure in the recent Ravens’ under-game campaign as he tries to make the most of his injuries. He meets the Ravens style as a runner, among the runners, and should benefit from playing alongside the two most vulnerable players in Lamar Jackson.
