With one of their top tailbacks questionable for Sunday’s game at Cleveland, the Ravens have bolstered their backfield depth.

The club has signed rookie running back Fitzgerald Toussaint from the practice squad, the team said Saturday afternoon.

Toussaint joins the Ravens’ roster after Bernard Pierce (thigh) was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday. A Michigan product, Toussaint (5-10, 205) racked up 123 yards on 21 carries in preseason play for Baltimore. He was inactive for the Ravens’ season-opening loss vs. Cincinnati, then waived, then re-signed to the practice squad.

To make room for Toussaint, the Ravens waived wide receiver Deonte Thompson.
