The Baltimore Ravens’ running game blossomed and as it did with Lamar Jackson, J.K. Dobbins, and Gus Edwards, Mark Ingram became the odd-man out.
After being a healthy scratch down the stretch and in the playoffs, the Ravens have released the veteran running back.
Baltimore is releasing veteran RB Mark Ingram on Tuesday, per league sources. The move will save the Ravens $5 million against the 2021 cap and allow Ingram to get an early jump on free agency.
Ingram is healthy and believes he has plenty to offer for 2021.
