One of their recent additions is veteran wide receiver, Mike Thomas. However, the tight parallel of his name with another athlete sparked Ravens fans on Twitter.
After sustaining a massive loss, the Ravens are making moves to reinforce their position in the division. The AFC North franchise made some deductions to add wideout power to the practice squad. The Purple Rush released Zack Johnson and replaced him with a veteran receiver.
