The Ravens signed Devonta Freeman to their practice squad on Sept. 9 in the wake of season-ending injuries to their projected Top-3 running backs entering the season. Freeman joined a trio of signings the Ravens made at the position, the other two being Latavius Murray and Le’Veon Bell.
Freeman was promoted to the active roster ahead of the team’s Week 2 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this season. In that game, he touched the ball just twice, but his very first carry went for a gain of 31 yards.
This would ultimately foreshadow his tenure with the Ravens this season.
