Cory

Ross

The Ravens have been going back and forth with Ross and Lloyd on the active roster. Both are for depth on special teams.

Ross will help on kick returns with B.J. Sams done for the year.

This is a reversal of the move Baltimore made prior to its Week 6 win over the Rams. Ross and Lloyd are back on board to provide depth on special teams. Kracalik and Ndukwe will be re-signed to the practice squad.

Ross was around for kick return depth and could be added back to the practice squad. The Ravens needed extra linemen because of injuries in front of them.

The pint-sized Ross looked like a poor man’s Maurice Jones-Drew, tearing up chunks of yardage against the Steelers defense. With Musa Smith possibly leaving via free agency, Ross could be in line for role increase in the Ravens’ 2008 backfield.

Figurs sprained the knee in the second quarter of Monday’s loss to Pittsburgh. He has been limited in practice this week, and would be replaced on returns by Cory Ross.

Ross was used on returns last year, but is too small to be an NFL tailback.

Ross can catch punts, but at 5'6/201, isn’t a factor in the backfield.

Cory Ross had an impressive Week 17 effort, but may not be seen as a true backup. The team is looking for depth as P.J. Daniels is the only other tailback on the roster.
