The Baltimore Ravens are evaluating their roster ahead of the upcoming NFL season, focusing on a potential release of running back Rasheen Ali, a fifth-round draft pick in 2024. With Derrick Henry expected to take on the bulk of the carries, along with Justice Hill as the clear backup and rookie Adam Randall making a strong impression, Ali’s spot on the roster appears uncertain. He has struggled to find a consistent role, totaling 55 rushing yards and one touchdown over the past two seasons. Analysts suggest that cutting Ali may be a practical decision as the team narrows down to 53 players.
