Allen, Rainey and Carter
Anthony Allen
, Bobby Rainey and recently-acquired veteran Delone Carter will all have one more chance in the final preseason game in St. Louis to show they deserve a place on the 53-man roster for the regular season.
“We have a running back competition going on, and I’m trying to be the third running back,” Allen said. “It’s definitely a big game for all of us trying to stay on this team. We have to come out and put our best effort forward.”
The Ravens typically keep tree running backs on the active roster, and fullbacks Vonta Leach andKyle Juszczyk both likely on the active roster, that makes the roster spots even tougher to come by in the backfield.
Competition for that running back spot tightened up last week when the team dealt wide receiver David Reed to Indianapolis for Carter.
The third-year running back now has a week to show the coaching staff in Baltimore that he’s deserving of a job. Carter did not play in the game on Thursday, but he started practicing over the weekend and expects to play Thursday in St. Louis.
