Edwards, 24, had 718 yards and two scores on 137 carries in 11 games last season for the Ravens. He averaged 5.2 yards per carry during his rookie campaign, raking fifth in the league in that category.

The Ravens elevated Edwards from the practice squad in October. Edwards entered the off-season as the Ravens' starting running back, according to coach John Harbaugh. The AFC North franchise then signed veteran free agent Mark Ingram to a three-year, $15 million contract in March, crowding the running backs room.

Baltimore also has Kenneth Dixon and Tyler Ervin on its depth chart at running back entering the 2019 season.
