Charles James made quite an impression with football fans across the globe following his impressive performances and his colorful socks on HBO’s Hard Knocks. A member of the Houston Texans through training camp and the preseason, James made it to final cuts this summer but wound up losing out on a spot.
The Baltimore Ravens scooped up the smallish but hard working cornerback, who has spent the last five weeks toiling on their practice squad. On Tuesday, the Ravens promoted James to the active roster as well as fellow cornerback Asa Jackson after waiving cornerback Rashaan Melvin and linebacker Jason Babin.
