McSorley injured his back earlier this summer and missed out on most of Baltimore’s preseason action. Hensley reported the former Penn State standout returned to practice on Monday.

Although he never started with the Ravens, McSorley impressed in his few appearances as a backup. He notably filled in for an injured Robert Griffin III last season and completed two passes for 77 yards and a touchdown.

Baltimore selected McSorley out of Penn State as the No. 197 pick in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Now, he’ll work his way back to full health and look for his next professional opportunity.
