The Baltimore Ravens have activated Ar'Darius Washington and Devin Duvernay from the injured reserve list, the team announced on Friday.

The Ravens had two open spots on their active roster entering Friday, and they filled them with both Washington and Duvernay.

Washington was placed on the injured reserve list in September due to a pectoral injury. The Ravens designated Washington to return from injured reserve earlier this month, and he took part in each of their three practice sessions this week.

Duvernay went on the injured reserve list after he sustained a back ailment during the Ravens’ home win over the Los Angeles Rams. As with Washington, Duvernay featured in all three of Baltimore’s practices this week, which played into its final call to activate him from IR.

The Ravens also signed Melvin Gordon to their practice squad. Gordon was waived by Baltimore earlier this week, and Dalvin Cook went on to take his spot on its 53-man roster.

Baltimore will open up its playoff run by hosting the Houston Texans in the AFC divisional round on Saturday. Washington is expected to receive a fair share of snaps on defense in the contest, while Duvernay will return to his usual role as Baltimore's go-to punt returner.
