The Ravens are seeking depth at the running back position as starting tailback J.K. Dobbins was lost for the season during the team’s Week 1 game.

Drake originally entered the league back in 2016 when he was selected in the third round by the Miami Dolphins. Since then he has had stints with the Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders, Indianapolis Colts and now returns for a second term with the Ravens for year eight in the league.
