Ravens sign RB Melvin Gordon III to the 53-man roster; place RB Keaton Mitchell on IR

Melvin Gordon III Signed to 53-Man Roster; Jake Funk to Practice Squad

The Ravens announced three roster moves on Tuesday, signing Melvin Gordon III to the active roster from the practice squad.

Baltimore also placed rookie running back Keaton Mitchell onto injured reserve after he suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the win over the Jaguars.

In recent weeks, the undrafted rookie had established himself as Baltimore’s most explosive running back.

He finished the game with nine carries for 73 yards (8.1 per carry), including a 24-yard gain.
