Ravens activate Dixon place Collins on IR
The Baltimore Ravens have activated Kenneth Dixon from injured reserve and have placed Alex Collins on IR. The Ravens needed to make a discussion on Dixon, who is a talented running back.
Collins has seven rushing touchdowns on the season but was inactive against the Raiders with an injury. The Ravens are now starting Gus Edwards but he is also hurt with an ankle injury so the Ravens needed immediate depth and Dixon is the best option.
Here is the Ravens press release.
RAVENS ACTIVATE RB KENNETH DIXON
The Baltimore Ravens on Saturday activated RB Kenneth Dixon (knee) from Injured Reserve and placed RB Alex Collins (foot) on Injured Reserve.
Dixon was placed on Injured Reserve on Sept. 12 after leading the team with 13 carries for 44 yards and one rushing touchdown in the season-opening win against Buffalo.
He missed all of the 2017 campaign with a knee injury, but as a rookie in 2016, recorded 382 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 88 carries. He also posted 30 receptions for 162 yards.
Dixon has seen action in 13 games for the Ravens after originally being selected in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
