With multiple pass catchers nursing injuries, the Ravens added two wide receivers to the practice squad Tuesday who were with them during training camp and the preseason.
Tarik Black and Dontay Demus Jr. were signed, adding depth to a position after Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Colts and Rashod Bateman (hamstring) could not finish the game.

Tylan Wallace was placed on injured reserve Monday after suffering a hamstring injury against Indianapolis.
Guard Kyle Fuller and tight end/fullback Ben Mason were released from the practice squad to make room for Black and Demus.
Tarik Black
Undrafted out of Texas in 2021, Black appeared in one NFL game with the Jets in 2021, making two catches for 10 yards.
During the 2023 preseason, Black had one catch for five yards during the preseason.
Dontay Demus Jr.
A University of Maryland product who went undrafted in April, Demus Jr. flashed his growing potential in the final preseason game, catching two passes for 86 yards, including a spectacular grab between two defenders.
