Welcome to the Daily Caw, where we round up all the latest Ravens news and notes from around the web for your convenient consumption.

The Ravens made a flurry of roster moves on Tuesday, but had one open roster spot to fill. On Wednesday, they filled that spot by signing cornerback Chris Greenwood off the Vikings’ practice squad. Greenwood is a 2012 fifth round pick of the Detroit Lions who has appeared in three regular season games.

Four Ravens Miss Practice Wednesday
Chris Canty and Jacoby Jones missed practice due to an illness, while Will Hill and Kelechi Osemele were absent for non-injury reasons. Bernard Pierce and Anthony Levine were both limited with injury.
