Ravens Sign Seventh-Year Running Back to Add to Thin Room

The Baltimore Ravens have bolstered their running back roster by signing veteran tailback Jonathan Ward, according to a report from KPRC Houston's Aaron Wilson. Ward, a seventh-year player, will join a room that is otherwise thin, with only Derrick Henry and Justice Hill as reliable starters. Keaton Mitchell, the second choice back, signed with the Los Angeles Chargers, leaving the Ravens with only Rasheen Ali and Adam Randall as realistic options.

Ward's addition provides the Ravens with extra bulk, even though his chances of making the final roster are slim. This marks Ward's seventh team in six years, having previously played with the Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants, and New England Patriots. Despite his limited playing time in the NFL, Ward brings valuable veteran experience and special teams potential to the Ravens' depth chart.
