OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Two-time Pro Bowl running back Melvin Gordon III was released by the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter, after an uneventful preseason.
Gordon, 30, ran for 59 yards on 17 carries (3.5-yard average) in three games this summer, which hurt his chances at gaining a 53-man roster spot in a crowded Baltimore running back room. He was behind J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill on the depth chart. Baltimore also likes undrafted rookie running back Keaton Mitchell.
