OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens added more depth at running back by signing veteran downhill runner Mike Davis to a one-year deal.

Last season with the Falcons, Davis ran for 503 yards on 138 carries with three touchdowns, He also caught 44 passes for 259 yards and one touchdown. 

The prior year with the Carolina Panthers, Davis had 165 carries for 642 yards and six touchdowns.
