The Baltimore Ravens announced on Tuesday that they added Daryl Worley to their 53-man roster and signed Duron Harmon to their practice squad.

Worley re-signed with the Ravens in February but he wound up failing to make the team’s initial 53-man roster in August. He did agree to join Baltimore’s practice squad, and he was activated off of it ahead of the AFC North side's Week 1 home matchup against the Houston Texans. The veteran defensive back featured in 23 snaps in the contest, with 20 of them coming on special teams.

Harmon joins the Ravens on the heels of a one-season stint with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he earned a start in 16 regular season contests and tallied 86 total tackles. The longtime safety has 161 games of experience in the NFL, with 111 of them coming from his seven-season tenure with the New England Patriots.

Both moves for Baltimore come days after Marcus Williams suffered a pec injury during their home victory over Houston. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said during a press conference on Monday that Williams "will be out for a while" due to the ailment.

The Ravens also placed running back J.K. Dobbins on the injured reserve list due to his torn Achilles injury, and they released cornerback Tae Hayes from their practice squad.

Baltimore will next be in action on Sunday when it meets the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium.
