Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley): The Ravens signed RB Jonathan Ward, who was on Baltimore's practice squad late last season. The Ravens add Ward after RB Rasheen Ali missed most of last week with an undisclosed injury and didn't play in Saturday's preseason game. Ward, 28, has 22 carries in 46 career games. Baltimore signed Ward after trying out D'Ernest Johnson and Jared Chisari. The Ravens had an open spot on the 90-man roster after OT Kendall Lamm retired on Friday.
Ward, 28, has 22 career carries across 46 games. Baltimore added him after Rasheen Ali missed most of last week with an undisclosed injury and did not play in Saturday's preseason opener. The Ravens had an open roster spot after offensive tackle Kendall Lamm retired on Friday, and they worked out D'Ernest Johnson and Jared Chisari before landing on Ward.
With Derrick Henry and Justice Hill possibly limited in the preseason, Ward gives Baltimore another body in a backfield that has been thinned by Ali's absence.
