On Wednesday afternoon, the Baltimore Ravens waived running back Melvin Gordon. On Thursday morning, we found out what most had suspected; the Ravens have signed running back alvin Cook to their 53-man roster to take Gordon’s place.
Two weeks ago, the Ravens signed Cook to the practice squad after he was released by the New York Jets. In the interim, he’s adjusted to the point where the Ravens felt they could make the move.
In 15 games in New York including one start, Cook recorded 67 carries for 214 rushing yards and caught 15 of his 20 targets for 78 receiving yards.
