Ravens Add Depth with AJ Arcuri | NFL News

0:00It's September 1st. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and ready for kickoff. The Baltimore Ravens are bringing in some new blood for their offensive line, snagging AJ R-Curie for the practice squad. This dude spent his first four years with the Los Angeles Rams, who picked him up in the seventh round back in 2022. He's a big guy, 6 with 7 and 320 pounds, mostly playing tackle. He didn't see a ton of game time with the Rams, just a couple of appearances and one start over three seasons. But he was in a system that ran the ball a lot and used play action, so he's got some experience in that kind of offense. This move is smart for Baltimore. Injuries happen all the time in a 17 game season and having extra guys on the practice squad is like insurance. It gives them depth without having to rush someone into action before they're ready. R-Curie has the physical tools, the size and length, that the Ravens offensive line coach can work with. They'll get a chance to learn their playbook and blocking schemes without the pressure
