The 29-year-old didn’t show much in Baltimore, averaging just 2.7 yards per carry, which is a career worst. The Ravens signed Bell to their practice squad on Sept. 7 after a slew of injuries to their backfield. Throughout his short tenure with Baltimore, Bell played a reserve role behind Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman.
