The Ravens added a pair of 2014 draft picks to their growing list of players on injured reserve on Tuesday.

Running back Lorenzo Taliaferro and safety Terrence Brooks are both done for the season. Taliaferro, a fourth-round pick, hurt his foot in the Week 14 win over Miami and didn’t play against the Jaguars last Sunday. He ran 68 times for 292 yards and four touchdowns. The Ravens now have Bernard Pierce and Fitzgerald Toussaint behind Justin Forsett at running back.

Brooks, a third-round selection, has a knee injury. He had 19 tackles in 11 games this season and should compete for a larger role on defense in 2015.

With cornerback Asa Jackson also hitting injured reserve, the Ravens now have six defensive backs on injured reserve and the two rookies join defensive end Brent Urban in leaving the Ravens without the services of three of their top six 2014 picks.

The Ravens promoted offensive lineman Ryan Jensen from the practice squad and signed defensive tackle Casey Walker off the New England practice squad. Walker had 11 tackles and a sack in five games for the Patriots.
