OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens have promoted running back Devonta Freeman to the active roster Thursday after he spent one week on the team's practice squad, the team announced.
Freeman, 29, joins Ty'Son Williams and Latavius Murray in Baltimore's revamped running backs group. The Ravens signed Freeman to the practice squad Friday, one day after Gus Edwards suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice.
A two-time Pro Bowl player, Freeman was cut by the New Orleans Saints on Aug. 31 after spending a month with the team.
