Ravens reportedly reach deal with RB Corey Clement
Last season, the Baltimore Ravens were dealt a plethora of injuries to multiple key positions. One of those that was hit the hardest was at running back, where the team lost JK Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill prior to the first snap of the regular season. The move prompted the team to sign multiple veteran backs to help fill the void.
On Friday, the team announced six players would begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list. Two of those players were Dobbins and Edwards. With uncertainty of when they will be ready looming, Baltimore signed veteran running back Mike Davis to a one-year deal in May. On Monday, the Ravens reportedly have agreed to terms with another veteran running back.
ESPN’s Jamison Hensley confirmed that former Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement has reached a deal with Baltimore.

Clement should compete for a roster spot with Davis as a veteran running back, assuming the Ravens keep four at the position including Dobbins and Edwards. Baltimore has made sure to bring in plenty of talented depth, and Clement can be effective both as a runner and as a pass catcher.
Through five seasons, Clement has also spent time with the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys. He’s put up 795 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 196 carries. He also has 369 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 43 receptions.
