Three Ravens were placed on injured reserve today after suffering season-ending injuries:
DT Justin Bannan Dislocated Toe
FB Justin Green ACL Tear
RS B.J. Sams Fractured Ankle
To replace this trio, the Ravens signed ILB Tim Johnson and FB Nick Luchey, and promoted DT Atiyyah Ellison from the practice squad. Johnson started the season with the Ravens and was released at the end of training camp. Luchey, an 8-year NFL veteran, was with the Texans at the beginning of the season.
Here’s a quick look at the 3 new Ravens:
No. Name Pos. Ht. Wt. Exp. College
39 Nick Luchey FB 6-2 273 8 Miami (FL)
50 Tim Johnson ILB 6-0 245 4 Youngstown State
72 Atiyyah Ellison DT 6-3 318 2 Missouri
To replace Ellison on the practice squad, the Ravens re-signed DT Remi Ayodele, who spent the 2006 training camp with the team.
