Has Devonta Freeman played his way into a roster spot beyond this season?

The Ravens signed Devonta Freeman to their practice squad on Sept. 9 in the wake of season-ending injuries to their projected Top-3 running backs entering the season. Freeman joined a trio of signings the Ravens made at the position, the other two being Latavius Murray and Le’Veon Bell.

Freeman was promoted to the active roster ahead of the team’s Week 2 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this season. In that game, he touched the ball just twice, but his very first carry went for a gain of 31 yards.

This would ultimately foreshadow his tenure with the Ravens this season. Not ripping off huge plays left and right necessarily, but exceeding expectations. Nobody could have expected…
