Bobby Rainey - RB - Ravens

Ravens declared RB Bobby Rainey, WR Deonte Thompson, OT Ramon Harewood, S Christian Thompson, CB Asa Jackson, TE Billy Bajema, and DE Pernell McPhee inactive for Week 10 against the Raiders.

The Ravens have one of the league's healthiest 53-man rosters at this point, which may explain their ability to keep churning out wins despite losing so many key defenders to early-year injury. Rainey has not played in a game yet in 2012.

Bobby Rainey - RB - Ravens

Ravens promoted RB Bobby Rainey from their practice squad.

Coach John Harbaugh insisted a month ago that Rainey remained a "big part" of the team's plans after he was re-signed to the practice squad. Anthony Allen got the final running back spot purely for special teams value. Rainey was more effective as a receiver than runner in preseason action, catching 14 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns.

Bobby Rainey - RB - Ravens

Coach John Harbaugh insists RB Bobby Rainey remains a "big part" of the Ravens' plans after the rookie cleared waivers and was added to the practice squad.

"Bobby is a guy that I cherish," said Harbaugh. "We just did it for special teams reasons, pure and simply. Anthony Allen has done a great job on special teams, and we made a strategic roster move we hope works for us." The Ravens obviously think more highly of Rainey than Allen as a runner and receiver.

Bobby Rainey - RB - Ravens

Ravens released RB Bobby Rainey and signed RB Anthony Allen from the practice squad.

Rainey beat out Allen for a spot on the final 53-man roster, but it didn't last long. Rainey didn't show much in the run game during the preseason, rushing at just a 2.4 yards-per-carry clip, but he did show some promise catching the ball out of the backfield. Allen was a seventh-round pick by Baltimore in 2011.

Bobby Rainey - RB - Ravens

The Baltimore Sun lists undrafted rookie RB Bobby Rainey as the Ravens' No. 3 tailback.

Fellow rookie Bernard Piece is the favorite for primary backup duties behind Ray Rice, but Rainey has apparently overtaken No. 4 Damien Berry and No. 5 Anthony Allen. Rainey has received high praise from multiple sources throughout camp and appears destined for the 53-man roster.

Bobby Rainey - RB - Ravens

Ravens undrafted rookie RB Bobby Rainey rushed 10 times for 29 yards and caught three balls for 28 yards and a touchdown in Baltimore's preseason opener Thursday night.

Multiple reports out of Baltimore have called Rainey the most impressive runner in Ravens camp, behind Ray Rice. Rainey showed some shake and bake against the Falcons and could continue to work his way into a roster spot with a versatile preseason. Current No. 2 back Bernard Pierce didn't play in the passing game at Temple, and nor did Anthony Allen at Georgia Tech.
