Mckinney goes to IR; Paschal moves up

Defensive lineman Brandon Mckinney was put on Injured Reserve today. He was gameday inactive vs. the Lions last week. Marcus Paschal,a defensive back who was signed to the practice squad after KJ Gerard moved to the actice roster, will take Mckinney's place on the roster. Paschal has not had a lot of experience starting on any team in the NFL.

This move is not shocking. Mckinney was holding down a roster spot lower on the depth chart anyway. What is surprising is the Ravens do not bring up a wide reciever to the roster seeing as how Kelley Washington is questionable and Mark Clayton is still hurting from injuries. I know they have Demetrius Williams but another body would be great for the passing game. Todd Heap and LJ Smith are hurt to so it would not be too likely to see Cam Cameron to put a tight end in the slot.

Looks like we will see Ray Rice and Derrick Mason targeted for a lot more passes(as if that that were possible). Either that or we will see alot more of the smashmouth run game the offense is capable of having.
