The Baltimore Ravens had to sign many different outside options at the running back position during the 2021 season. The team lost running backs J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill for the year before the season began, prompting them go add players such as Latavius Murray, Devonta Freeman and Le’Veon Bell.
It was announced by the New Orleans Saints that they were signing Murray to their practice squad. The veteran spent the 2019 and 2020 seasons in New Orleans before being released at the conclusion of the 2021 preseason. Baltimore then scooped him up, and he played a big role on last year’s offensive unit.
