The Baltimore Ravens have released David Olson and signed Josh Woodrum.

Woodrum will serve as the Ravens' No. 3 quarterback behind Ryan Mallett and Dustin Vaughan until Joe Flacco returns from a back injury.

On Sunday, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said the team was still considering Colin Kaepernick and asked for fans to "pray for us."

Kaepernick remains a free agent.

Branden Albert has announced his retirement from the NFL.

Albert was acquired by the Jaguars in a trade with the Miami Dolphins on March 9, 2017.

Albert was a Pro Bowl selection in 2013 and 2015.

Albert, who missed the voluntary portion of the Jaguars' offseason program in an unsuccessful effort to renegotiate his contract, participated in the mandatory three-day minicamp in June. He said during the minicamp he planned to attend training camp and would be in shape at that time.

"After nine seasons playing in the National Football League, I have decided to retire from the game that has given me so much," said Albert. "I would like to thank Mr. Khan and the Jaguars organization, Mr. Ross, Joe Philbin, Dennis Hickey and the Dolphins organization and Mr. Hunt, Carl Peterson, Herm Edwards and the Chiefs organization for providing me with the opportunity of a lifetime. GOD has blessed me with so much through football that I thought would never be attainable. It's been truly a blessing. I cherish all of the relationships and people I have encountered while playing in the NFL! Special thanks to Al Groh and the University of Virginia for giving me the opportunity for a great education and showing faith in me when no one else wanted to take a chance on me. I am truly thankful for my UVA family.

"This is such a special league and it's been an honor and a privilege to play this sport professionally for the past nine years. I wish Coach Marrone and my Jacksonville teammates the best of luck on their journey this season. During my short stint in Jacksonville, I quickly realized that they are working incredibly hard to turn the corner and I truly believe that they will find success in the coming years. I look forward to returning to Miami, the place that I now call 'home,' and running my businesses, while giving back to the community. While this chapter of my life is coming to an end, my story is still going and I hope you'll follow along. I will be furthering and finishing my education. GOD BLESS AND GODSPEED."

Joe Flacco is endorsing the idea of Colin Kaepernick joining the Baltimore Ravens.

"I would like to see Colin get back in [the NFL] and, at some point, maybe get another shot [to be a starter]," said Flacco, who hasn't spoken to Kaepernick about it. "I wouldn't like that to be here. I do not want him to get another shot [to be a starter] here, but yes, he can come here and have some fun. I think it would be a good spot for him."

Flacco and Kaepernick faced off in Super Bowl XLVII.

Kaepernick is considered the best available quarterback remaining in free agency.

The Baltimore Ravens have signed David Olson following the injury to Joe Flacco.

Baltimore used offensive assistant coach Matt Weiss to line up under center and hand off to running backs in drills.

Olson will help spell Ryan Mallett, who has taken Flacco's spot with the first-team offense, and Dustin Vaughan, who is on his fourth team in four seasons.

The Ravens also have interest in Colin Kaepernick.

The agreement with Olson would not preclude the Ravens from adding Kaepernick.

Olson most recently played in the Champions Indoor Football league.

The Oakland Raiders plan to release offensive tackle Austin Howard, according to a source.

Howard posted on Instagram that he was "grateful" for his three seasons with the team on Friday night.

He has started 39 games for the Raiders over the last three seasons.

The Baltimore Ravens have been in contact with Colin Kaepernick about joining their team.

Joe Flacco will be out 3-6 weeks with a back injury.

Kaepernick previously played for John Harbaugh's brother, Jim Harbaugh.

The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to sign Ronnie Hillman.

The Cowboys need depth at running back with a potential suspension coming for Ezekiel Elliott.

Hillman split time last season between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers.

Hillman rushed 207 times for 863 yards and seven touchdowns in 2015.

The Philadelphia Eagles have cut offensive lineman Allen Barbre and defensive end Marcus Smith.

Barbre, 33, started 12 games last season for Philadelphia, playing left guard and some right tackle. 

Smith was the Eagles' first round pick in 2014. Smith was due a roster bonus of nearly $600,000 on the third day of training camp. 

Prince William County (Virginia) Police Department has announced they mistakenly charged Lucky Whitehead with shoplifting on June 22nd.

Whitehead and his agent, David Rich, said Monday that this was a case of mistaken identity. Rich cited flight records to prove that Whitehead wasn't in Virginia at the time of the incident.

The Dallas Cowboys released Whitehead on Monday following the erroneous report.

The Los Angeles Chargers are scheduled to have Robert Griffin III in for a workout on Tuesday, according to a source.

Griffin has been training in Florida with former Cleveland Browns assistant coach Pep Hamilton.

The quarterback was released by the Browns on March 10 after they acquired Brock Osweiler from the Houston Texans.
