The Baltimore Ravens have now added running back Latavius Murray following the losses of running backs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins and Justice Hill to season-ending injuries.
I'm told RB Latavius Murray is expected to placed on the #Ravens active roster & confirming RB Devonta Freeman is set for the practice squad as well.
