Overview

  • Sixth-round rookies Bilhal Kone and Robert Longerbeam were placed on season-ending injured reserve after suffering knee injuries in the preseason opener and during subsequent camp practices.
  • Baltimore signed veteran running back Myles Gaskin to fill the roster spot opened by Longerbeam’s injured reserve designation.
  • Head coach John Harbaugh offered a terse response when asked about Longerbeam’s move to injured reserve, providing little detail on the decision.
  • These moves add to the Ravens’ rookie injury woes, which already sidelined third-round pick Emery Jones Jr. with a shoulder issue.
  • The team will rely on veteran starters such as Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins and expedite opportunities for camp standouts like Jalyn Armour-Davis and Reuben Lowery.
