A slew of running back injuries has led to a couple of new additions to the Baltimore Ravens' backfield.

The club announced on Wednesday that it has signed Trenton Cannon to the 53-man roster, and added former Pro Bowler Le'Veon Bell to the practice squad, a move that had been expected since Tuesday.

Baltimore also officially placed backup Justice Hill, who suffered a torn Achilles Monday, on injured reserve.

Cannon, a sixth-round pick of the Jets in 2018, joins the Ravens following a one-year stint with the Panthers, where he primarily served as a backup to Mike Davis with Christian McCaffrey sidelined for all but four games. He appeared in 14 games and recorded 10 carries for 33 yards, along with three receptions for 16 yards.

With Hill and incumbent starter J.K. Dobbins (torn ACL) done for the year, Cannon has a golden opportunity to see more playing time in a room that includes Gus Edwards and Ty'son Williams. Those reps could become a bit harder to come by, though, if Bell impresses and is called up at some point.
