OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens officially placed running back Danny Woodhead on injured reserve and promoted former Chicago running back Jeremy Langford from the practice squad on Thursday.
On Wednesday, head coach John Harbaugh alluded to the possibility of Woodhead going to IR after confirming he would miss “multiple weeks” with a left hamstring injury suffered in the first quarter of the season-opening win over Cincinnati. The 32-year-old dealt with a hamstring injury to the same leg in the preseason.
Woodhead would be eligible to return to practice in six weeks and could be activated as soon as the Nov. 19 contest at Green Bay. Teams are allowed to bring two players back from IR this year after only being permitted one in past seasons.
Langford gives Baltimore a third healthy tailback on the active roster behind starter Terrance West and backup Buck Allen. The 25-year-old appeared in 28 games for the Bears over the last two seasons, rushing for 737 yards and 10 touchdowns on 210 carries and catching 41 passes for 421 yards and a touchdown.
The Ravens welcomed safety Eric Weddle back to the practice field Thursday after he missed the previous day with what was officially listed as an illness. Rookie outside linebacker Tim Williams was a new absence due to illness after not being listed on Wednesday’s injury report.
Outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith (knee/ankle) and cornerbacks Sheldon Price (concussion) and Jaylen Hill (thigh) remained sidelined.
Below is Thursday’s full injury report:
