If Derek Cox was on the roster for the opening game, his $730,000 salary would have been guaranteed for the entire season as vested veteran

Cutting Derek Cox is actually a positive sign about how the Ravens feel about their cornerbacks' health

Maybe they are not too worried about the secondary...

 

 

 

The Baltimore Ravens promoted running back Fitz Toussaint from their practice squad after releasing cornerback Derek Cox.

Toussaint is the third undrafted rookie on the Ravens' season-opening 53-man roster, joining linebacker Zachary Orr and offensive tackle James Hurst.

Touissant flashed his explosiveness in the preseason finale with several big runs. Toussaint ran for 103 yards at New Orleans, averaging 6.1 yards per carry.

The Ravens have four tailbacks on their roster with Bernard Pierce, Lorenzo Taliaferro, Justin Forsett and Toussaint. Pierce is expected to replace suspended Ray Rice as the the Ravens' starting running back for the first two games of the season.

Exactly, plus they can always re-sign him in 2 weeks when Rice comes back and send

Toussaint back to PS.

 

I'm glad they promoted him. He's a nice backup and you don't know if Pierce will go

down - AGAIN!

 

Toussaint can play special teams too so that's another plus.

Cox must feel like he's on a yo-yo.

Time to bring back Cox.

 

I don't ever want to see Brown again, ever.

He is trying out with the Saints, who wanted him before last season, but he took bigger bucks to go west... No one wants him and plenty of teams need a cornerback.
