Clay suffered a fractured foot and is expected to miss a significant amount of time. The second-year WR servrd as one of the team's return specialists so the Ravens will now need to fill that hole. They're also in need of healthy bodies at the WR position as Steve Smith and Breshad Perriman are both working their way back from nasty 2015 injuries.

Clay was drafted by the Buccaneers in 2015 with the number 184 pick overall but could not even earn a spot on the practice squad. The Ravens signed him off the street in November of last season. He is incredibly fast being a former track star but the Ravens need production from their wide receivers, not projects.

Clay appeared in seven games for the Ravens last season but was used on special teams and did not finish the year with any catches. His return to the club will likely see him once again used on special teams rather than competing for an offensive role.

The move to put Periman on the IR cleared a spot in the wideout core to add another guy, Clay being it. Even though there is a lack of depth with regards to receivers on the Ravens roster, it will likely to a few injuries for Clay to see playing time other than special teams.
