Per Bill Voth's twitter account:

Wow, um...ok. RT @RavensInsider #Panthers awarded RB Jerome Felton off waivers from Lions, beat out claims from Minnesota and Philadelphia.

We need another RB like we need a hole in the head unless we're planning to trade someone, or someone is hurt that we don't know about yet...

With Schwartz done for the year we need to do everything we can to make sure we can still be productive rushing the football, and most importantly, protect Cam. We may not be able fill the guard position with someone the caliber of Schwartz and Felton is a solid veteran and I would bet he has played in this system before if not something similar. Not a big splash flashy move at all but one that makes a lot of sense.

Sutton has made a few remarks on twitter recently against ppl referring to him as a fb.

(In reference to Hartsock being used as a fb) Richie Brockel (listed as te) has been playing fb while Fiammetta has been injured. Hartsock seems to have been brought in to be the blocking te yang to shockey/olsen yin.

Former Pro Bowl you say? Not exactly the DT or CB we were all hoping for, but any time we sign a player who is/was once near the top of his position, then I can't say I object..

What does this mean for Fiametta though? He was a running/pass catching FB coming out of Syracuse, I really thought the new offense would benefit him. Perhaps we don't want a 'skill-player' FB and are looking for one that more of a blocker? Does this new FB fit that bill?

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
