OWINGS MILLS -- The Baltimore Ravens have signed long snapper Patrick Scales, a player they released during the final major roster cutdown last year.
The 6-foot-4, 228-pound former Utah State player had a solid training camp last year, just not enough to take the job away from established long snapper Morgan Cox.
Cox remains fairly entrenched.
It's a good idea for teams to have two snappers on the roster for offseason activities as well as the preseason so as to not wear out the regular snapper.
Scales walked on at Utah State and quickly earned a scholarship.
