he Browns picked up running back Bobby Rainey off waivers from the Ravens last week and he was installed as Cleveland¿s top kick returner.

With a new head coach in Rob Chudzinski and new coordinators in Norv Turner and Ray Horton, the Browns will look a little different than they did a year ago.

I expect a lot of the national media to say that the reason the Ravens lost and gave up a lot of yards to Denver and Peyton Manning is because the team no longer has linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed.

Former Ravens running back Bobby Rainey has been claimed by the Cleveland Browns, according to a league source.

The Ravens have also released undrafted rookie offensive tackle J.J. Unga and undrafted rookie defensive lineman Cody Larson.

Tight end Dallas Clark practiced with the Ravens for the first time and immediately made a favorable impression. With Thursday's preseason game looming, it was a light practice in terms of competitiveness, but Clark had three touchdowns inside the 20.

iminutive running back Bobby Rainey might have been the Ravens' most productive offensive player last preseason, rushing for 55 yards and catching a team-leading 14 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns.

Over 6,000 Baltimore football fanatics packed the Aberdeen venue to see 40 of the Ravens players battle it out in a fundraising softball matchup

As diminutive Ravens running back Bobby Rainey and punter Sam Koch belted several home runs at Ripken Stadium, cornerback Lardarius Webb came away even more impressed by what surrounded his teammates Sunday in Aberdeen.

Besides signing second-round inside linebacker Arthur Brown to a four-year, $3.55 million deal that includes a $964,896 signing bonus, the Ravens conducted some other business today.

Now that the Ravens have officially finished up the first half of their schedule, let's take a look at the snap counts for their players over the first eight games of the season -- and since we last checked on these totals a month ago -- to see which new trends are developing. These official snap counts come courtesy of the NFL.
