Rapoport also shared that sources told him, both players went down with “significant knee injuries” on “back to back” plays.
It was at that point Ravens coach John Harbaugh “cut practice short” and “essentially sent everyone inside.”
On Tuesday, reports surfaced that the team had signed former star running back Le’Veon Bell after it lost not one but two running backs for the upcoming season due to injuries.
Having lost RBs J.K. Dobbins and Justice Hall to season-ending injuries, the Ravens are signing veteran RB Le’Veon Bell to their practice squad, per source. He soon is likely to be added to the 53-man roster when ready.
