After losing running back Kenneth Dixon for the season Tuesday, the Baltimore Ravens signed free agent Bobby Rainey.

Dixon will reportedly miss the entire 2017 season after undergoing surgery for a torn meniscus. His absence leaves Terrance West, Danny Woodhead, and Buck Allen as the Ravens' only running backs, so Rainey would provide some insurance at the position.

Since entering the league in 2012 with the Ravens, Rainey has bounced around between the Cleveland Browns, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and New York Giants.

He played in 15 games with the Giants last season, featuring more as a pass-catcher than a runner. He recorded 20 catches for 153 yards and 17 carries for 63 yards.
