Ravens GM says team is still waiting on NFL investigation of Rashod Bateman's arrest
Eric DeCosta said Baltimore contacted the league immediately, while Bateman faces misdemeanor and felony charges from a June arrest, officials said.
Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta confirmed Wednesday the team awaits the NFL's investigation into receiver Rashod Bateman's arrest earlier this offseason.
In June, authorities in Georgia took Bateman into custody on suspicion of family violence battery, reckless conduct, and felony criminal damage to property.
Addressing the team's kicking situation, starter Tyler Loop missed three of seven field goal attempts during exhibition games, prompting Baltimore to add Jake Moody to the practice squad.
"We got to make kicks," DeCosta said, explaining the need for a "fresh set of legs to look at, evaluate, compare" because "in the end, it's a performance business."
DeCosta expressed optimism about securing a new contract with quarterback Lamar Jackson, while defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike made the 53-man roster, keeping him available for the season.
