Adam Randall: Ravens open practice window from IR

THE FACT. Baltimore designated running back Adam Randall to return from injured reserve on Wednesday, opening his practice window, per NBC Sports' player news and Pro Football Rumors. Neither report attached a timeline for activating him to the active roster.

THE VERDICT. This is a depth move, not a fantasy event. Redraft: no action in 12-team leagues until the Ravens actually activate him and give him a defined job. Deep leagues and dynasty: a late-season IR return rarely arrives with immediate volume, so stash him only if your bench is already deep at the position. Waiver Wire: leave him on the watch list and let the Thursday and Friday practice reports tell you whether he is trending toward a role.
