The Ravens announced the signing of nine players to reserve-future deals on Monday including quarterback Keith Wenning.
After being drafted in the sixth-round of last May’s draft, Wenning was waived by the Ravens at the end of the preseason before being signed to the practice squad. The Ball State product is a candidate to become the No. 2 quarterback behind Joe Flacco with veteran backup Tyrod Taylor scheduled to become a free agent.
The 6-foot-3, 222-pound Wenning completed 10 of 17 passes for 140 yards in the 2014 preseason.
Baltimore also signed quarterback Bryn Renner, defensive backs Victor Hampton and Quinton Pointer, offensive tackle Marcel Jones, tight ends Allen Reisner and Konrad Reuland, fullback Kiero Small, and defensive end Zach Thompson to reserve-future deals, which allow players to take part in offseason activities and count against the 90-man offseason roster.
Small went to Cardinal Gibbons and finished the 2014 season on the Ravens’ practice squad after he played in three games for the Cleveland Browns. Pointer, Jones, Reisner, Reuland, and Thompson also spent time on the Baltimore practice squad this season.
