Before the Ravens signed former Arundel, Syracuse and Houston Texans wide receiver Alec Lemon to the practice squad, they auditioned three other players.
The Ravens worked out former Texans wide receiver Uzoma Nwachukwu, former Texans and Detroit Lions running back William Powell and former New Orleans Saints running back Derrick Strozier, according to sources.
Nwachukwu went undrafted out of Texas A&M after catching 152 passes for 2,239 yards and 19 touchdowns in college. He spent time last season on the Texans' practice squad.
Powell has played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Texans and Lions. He was cut by the Texans in August and the Lions in October.
Strozier went undrafted out of Tulane. He's a converted cornerback who intercepted five passes in college, playing both offense and defense in college.
