Two days after their preseason opening win against the Indianapolis Colts, the Baltimore Ravens are adding a veteran name to their offense.

According to Jordan Schultz, the Ravens are signing running back Myles Gaskin.

"The Ravens are signing free agent RB Myles Gaskin after he worked out for the team today," Schultz posted on X. "Gaskin was with the Vikings last season and previously played for the Dolphins. He has 13 career touchdowns."

The Ravens had standout performances from Keaton Mitchell, who averaged over seven yards per carry and had a touchdown, and Rasheen Ali, who returned a kick 68 yards and had a rushing score.
