Parts ways with Packers
Green Bay cut McCrary (undisclosed) from the practice squad injured list with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: McCrary had been placed on the practice squad injured list Aug. 30, which would have made him ineligible from being on the active NFL roster for at least four games. Now that he's agreed to an injury settlement, the 25-year-old can sign with another organization and can suit up whenever he is healthy. However, McCrary will likely need to settle for another practice squad spot given that he has played in only one career NFL game, which took place in 2021.

Finds paydirt Saturday
McCrary had seven carries for 24 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 19-15 preseason victory over the Seahawks.
Analysis: McCrary saw work Saturday after not taking the field in Green Bay's second exhibition contest, and he wound up scoring the touchdown that gave the Packers the win. Although McCrary ended the preseason on a high note, he almost certainly finds himself on the outside looking in when final cuts are made.

Does not make roster

Comes back for preseason finale
McCrary (knee) netted minus-3 yards on two carries in Baltimore's preseason game Saturday.
Analysis: McCrary appears to be healthy after leaving the Ravens' previous preseason outing against the Cardinals with a knee injury. However, the undrafted back ultimately saw action on just one drive Saturday, with his second rushing attempt stopped behind the line of scrimmage for a four-yard loss. McCrary's mere 14 offensive snaps don't spell well for his chances to make Baltimore's 53-man roster heading into final cuts Tuesday.

Questionable to return
McCrary is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a knee injury.
Analysis: McCrary had touches on back-to-back plays in the third quarter, securing his lone target for seven yards while rushing once for nine yards prior to leaving the game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return or whether he'll be available for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Commanders.

Hits practice squad injured list
McCrary (undisclosed) was placed on the Ravens' practice squad injured list Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Ravens wanted to get a look at McCrary over the latter portion of the season, although he didn't get into the lone game he was active for in Week 13. He's struggled to stay healthy since, spending time on the COVID-19 list and now this unspecified injury.

Restored to practice squad
McCrary was activated from the Ravens' practice squad COVID-19 list Friday, Cliffton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.
Analysis: McCrary went undrafted out of Saginaw Valley State and signed with the Ravens as a free agent after the 2021 NFL Draft. He was elevated for the Ravens' Week 13 contest against the Steelers, but he had no impact on the game. With the Ravens having no shortage of running back options, it'll take some work for McCrary to see the active roster again, but now that he's back to being active on the practice squad, he'll try to make it happen.

Set for absence
McCrary (undisclosed) was placed on the Ravens' practice squad COVID-19 list Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: McCrary has spent the majority of the 2021 season on the Ravens' practice squad. He was elevated to the active roster in Week 13 against Pittsburgh and logged one carry for minus-1 yards. However, given his placement on the COVID-19 list, he is unlikely to be eligible for promotion from the practice squad for Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

Promoted to face Steelers
McCrary was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Analysis: McCrary was elevated after Kevon Seymour (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. It remains unclear if McCrary will be active Sunday, as that would likely require the Ravens to make Ty'Son Williams inactive. Even if he suits up, McCrary would probably see most of his playing time on special teams.
