Rotowire
Major (concussion) participated in Saturday's training camp practice while wearing a non-contact red jersey, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Major remains in concussion protocol, which forced him to miss Thursday's preseason game against the Colts. His return to practice is a good sign, but he'll need to clear the league's five-step protocol in order to play in the Ravens' next preseason game against the Cowboys on Saturday, Aug. 16. Major signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent in late April and is battling for a backup running back spot on the 53-man roster.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Saturday that Major is dealing with a concussion, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
It's unclear when Major suffered the concussion, but he will not be allowed to participate in preseason games until he clears the league's five-step protocol.

To bolster their backfield depth, the Ravens signed D'Ernest Johnson to a contract on Saturday.

Major signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent Monday, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.
The running back never exceeded 78 carries in any of his six collegiate seasons with Oklahoma and Minnesota. In 2024 with latter university, he finished with 352 rushing yards and three rushing scores to go with 20 catches for 144 yards and a touchdown. Baltimore's top two backs, Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, were big contributors to the team's elite offense in 2024, though there should be roster spots available behind them.
