Crockett was waived by the Ravens on Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crockett's departure leaves Baltimore with only three true running backs on the roster, making it seem likely that the team adds more bodies to the position this offseason. Meanwhile, Crockett will become an unrestricted free agent if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

The Ravens signed Crockett to a reserve/future contract Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Crockett went undrafted out of North Dakota State in 2015 but hasn't appeared in a game since his rookie season with the Packers, when he accrued 21 yards on nine carries in two appearances. He'll likely need to impress offseason in order to crack the final roster come September 2018.

The Ravens signed Crockett to their practice squad Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crockett will take the spot of Jeremy Langford, who was moved to injured reserve with an undisclosed issue. The Ravens' depth at running back has already been tested not even a quarter of the way through the season with Danny Woodhead (hamstring) and Kenneth Dixon (knee) on injured reserve and Terrance West (calf) also banged up, so it's not inconceivable for Crockett to receive a promotion to the 53-man roster at some point in 2017. The North Dakota State product has two career NFL appearances to his name, both of which came in 2015 as a member of the Packers.

Crockett (shoulder) signed with the Raiders on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Crockett joins Oakland after spending his first two years with the Packers. Although the undrafted tailback rushed nine times for 21 yards as a rookie, he spent the entirely of last season on Green Bay's injured/reserve list. The former North Dakota State standout will now hope to latch on with the Raiders by impressing during training camp.

Crockett (shoulder) is an unrestricted free agent after not receiving a free agent tender from the Packers, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crockett spent the entire 2016 season on injured reserve due to his shoulder injury. He has only nine career rushing attempts and isn't likely to have much of a role with any team in 2017.

Crockett (shoulder) has been placed on IR by the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
The move leaves Brandon Burks and Brandon Ross as the team's depth RB options behind Eddie Lacy and James Starks, though it's possible the team will add backfield help in the coming days, in the wake of Crockett's placement on IR.

Crockett (shoulder) is not expected to be ready for Week 1, ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Expected to open the season as Green Bay's No. 3 running back, Crockett may instead land on injured reserve. Undrafted rookie Brandon Burks is the obvious roster replacement, though he probably can't match Crockett's expected contribution on special teams.

Crockett left Friday's preseason game against the 49ers with a shoulder injury.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his early exit, Crockett operated as the clear No. 3 running back, taking 13 carries for 46 yards while playing ahead of Brandon Burks and Brandon Ross. The 2015 UDFA should still have a spot on the team, but if he isn't ready for Week 1, the Packers will likely retain Burks or Ross on the final roster.

Crockett ran six times for 26 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 27 yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Crockett was quiet in the Packers' first preseason game, but he made far more of an impact during Thursday's contest, topping 50 total yards and finding paydirt. He entered training camp third on the depth chart at the running back position and remains in that spot with two preseason games to go.

Crockett rushed six times for 17 yards and added three receptions for 17 more and a touchdown in Friday's preseason opener against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Crockett managed just 21 yards on nine rushing attempts as a rookie, and he didn't impress much despite scoring in his first action of 2016. It's clear that he's still lagging behind presumed starter Eddie Lacy and James Starks in Green Bay's running back pecking order since he didn't get in the game until they were both done for the night.
