Done deal:Breaking News Baltimore Ravens Solves Running Back Challenge With The Signing Of 49ers…
San Francisco 49ers running back Tyrion Davis-Price might have seen his next destination on Christmas Night.
The Baltimore Ravens, who beat the 49ers 33-19 on December 25, need running back depth, and Bleacher Report suggested Davis-Price as an option.
He has played sparingly this season for the 49ers with six carries for 21 yards this season.
The season-ending injury to Keaton Mitchell last week was a disappointing development for the Ravens offense,” Alex Ballentine wrote in a December 26 story on “prioritizing every roster’s biggest weaknesses after Week 16.”
“They brought up Melvin Gordon III from the practice squad, but the veteran doesn’t have nearly the same juice as Mitchell. Finding a younger back on another practice squad could be the move.
Tyrion Davis-Price ran a 4.48 40-yard dash at 211 pounds in the combine. He has only played seven games since being drafted in the third round by the Niners, but he would be worth a shot on the active roster if the Ravens want to add a back before the postseason,” Ballentine wrote.
Davis-Price has 120 career yards on 40 carries in his seven games played with the 49ers. San Francisco also played him on special teams in 2022 with 23 snap counts, but he hasn’t played a snap all season this year on special teams.
The 49ers waived Davis-Price from the practice squad once in the last month to make room for safety Logan Ryan. However, San Francisco signed Davis-Price back to the practice squad a couple of days after Ryan’s signing.
If the Niners were to lose Davis-Price to the Ravens, it would hurt the team’s running back depth because third stringer Jordan Mason has been dealing with an illness heading into Week 17.
The 49ers originally acquired Davis-Price out of LSU with the 93rd pick in the 2022 draft.
