Ravens sign WR Tarik Black and WR Dontay Demus Jr. to the practice squad

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.
