The Baltimore Ravens have signed Kenyan Drake to the practice squad after bringing the veteran in for a visit earlier in the week,<\/p>\n
Drake, 29, spent the 2022 season with the Ravens. While he did not set the world alight, he was beyond adequate as the team\u2019s fourth-string running back.<\/p>\n
Baltimore\u2019s acquisition of Drake comes amid the recent injury to J.K. Dobbins<\/a>. Dobbins\u2019 Achilles tear in Week 1<\/a> has ruled him out for the rest of the season. As a result, the team relied on a tandem of Gus Edwards and Justice Hill, with Melvin Gordon as the support act in Week 2. Despite having just two days of practice, Drake may have to suit up for Week 3 against the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> due to Hill’s recent injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n [metabet_core_side_odds_tile query=”fbp\/baltimore_ravens” size=”350×300″ site_id=”lastwordonsports”]<\/p>\n In 2022, as part of Baltimore\u2019s running back committee, Drake played 11 games and ran for 482 yards and four touchdowns while also tacking on 89 yards and a touchdown through the air.<\/p>\n As a fourth-string running back, those are decent numbers. It is also worth noting that Drake had some exceptional performances, such as against the New York Giants<\/a>, but also posted some duds. In all, his efforts in 2022 were deemed to be worthy of a 53.1 PFF grade<\/a> \u2013 uninspired but not disastrous.<\/p>\n After leaving the Ravens as a free agent at the end of the season, Drake signed with the Colts. However, he failed to make the Colts\u2019 final 53 and has been a free agent since.<\/p>\n Kenyan Drake is returning to the Ravens and signing with their practice squad pic.twitter.com\/WRDvqbyleC<\/a><\/p>\n — Kevin Oestreicher (@koestreicher34) September 20, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nBaltimore Ravens Reunite With Kenyan Drake<\/h2>\n
