Ravens place rookie running back Adam Randall on injured reserve

The Baltimore Ravens placed rookie running back Adam Randall on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return. The move delays the start of the fifth-round pick's regular season, requiring him to miss at least the first four games. The team did not disclose the nature of the injury sustained by the former Clemson standout. Baltimore utilized one of two available return designations during final roster cuts to keep the option of activating Randall later this season. The Ravens currently carry Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali as the running backs on the active roster. The vacated spot allows the team flexibility to pursue waiver claims or veteran additions.
