As the preseason wears on, its become clear the Ravens aren’t writing the third running back on the roster in ink just yet. Many assumed Kenneth Dixon would be a shoe-in, but after suffering more preseason nicks and bumps he’s no longer looking like the man on the inside. Meanwhile, undrafted free agent running back Gus Edwards Jr. is stealing the preseason show.
In the Hall of Fame Game, it’s not surprising to see second- and third-string players on the field for the majority of the exhibition, but Edwards took over after Mark Thompson allowed a sack and fumbled the football.
