          OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens announced that long snapper Morgan Cox has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and Kevin McDermott has been signed to replace him.

          McDermott, 24, was the San Francisco 49ers' long snapper in 2013 before being beaten out by Kyle Nelson this season. So, McDermott goes from one Harbaugh brother as his head coach to another one.

          "He's a guy we're very familiar with," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.

          Cox has been the Ravens' long snapper for the past five seasons (70 out of the last 71 games). This is the second time he has torn an ACL while with the Ravens, but it was his left knee in 2010.
