Baltimore Beatdown
After signing a pair of veteran running backs in recent days, De’Ernest Johnson and Myles Gaskin, the Ravens have made another corresponding move at the position. Per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson, the team parted ways with undrafted free agent Marcus Major Jr. on Wednesday.
Major, who the Ravens signed onto the roster following this year’s draft, has been sidelined with a concussion injury for a good portion of training camp. Unfortunately, this robbed him of opportunities to carve out a role amidst an already uphill climb to make the roster – given the Ravens’ depth at the position.
Major played six collegiate seasons, five for Oklahoma and his final campaign for Minnesota in 2024. He rushed for 1,185 career yards in college in 47 games, with 14 combined touchdowns and a yards-per-carry clip of 4.4. He’ll now look to get his professional career started by latching on with another organization.
As for the Ravens, the recently-acquired Johnson and Gaskin will likely consume the majority of snaps over the remaining two preseason games; especially given Keaton Mitchell is now nursing an injury as well. Derrick Henry and Justice Hill figure to be watching from the sideline under wraps until the regular season opener in few weeks on September 7.
