Why are the Ravens so short of running backs?
The Ravens, who are short in the RB department after losing Devonta Freeman and Latavius Murray, have moved for Cowboys reserve Clement.
The Baltimore Ravens have signed running back Corey Clement to boost their backfield depth, ESPN reported Monday, with the Super Bowl contenders short in the backline due to PUP concerns and the departures of Devonta Freeman and Latavius Murray during the off-season .
Clement, 27, played in 17 games for the Dallas Cowboys last year as a reserve, running for 140 yards on 33 carries to go along with six receptions for 29 yards and a touchdown.
He spent the first four years of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles. For his career, he has rushed for 795 yards with seven touchdowns and caught 43 passes for 369 yards and three touchdowns.
Ravens RB’s hit by PUPs
The Ravens are currently without their top two running backs after J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards were both placed on the physically unable to perform list. Neither running back played in 2021 while battling injures.
The team’s top leading rushers in ‘21, Freeman and Murray, were both allowed to depart during the offseason.
