What happened: The Baltimore Ravens signed running back Jonathan Ward on Sunday after he, D'Ernest Johnson and Jared Chisari worked out for the team, per the NFL's daily personnel notice. Ward beat out both for the roster spot. The move comes a day after Baltimore beat Philadelphia 24-7 in its preseason opener.

Why it matters: The signing adds depth to a Ravens backfield that already includes Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, Rasheen Ali and Adam Randall. Ward gives Baltimore another body to work into practice and preseason reps as it fills out the running back room behind its established starters.

What to watch: Watch for how the Ravens divide carries among their running backs in the next preseason game, and whether Ward sees any snaps as the group is set for the regular season.
