In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down the Ravens' signing of veteran defensive end Carl Lawson and what he brings to this defense heading into Week 8. We also go over Thursday's injury reports for both the Ravens and Bears as the team continues to get healthier — with Marlon Humphrey back and Lamar Jackson practicing again.

We hear from Todd Monken, who says he doesn't expect any personnel changes this week but is fired up to have Pat Ricard returning. Plus, we react to reports that Jets star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams could be available for trade — and why the Ravens need to be all over that before the deadline. Finally, we hear from defensive coordinator Zach Orr on how much Roquan Smith's return means for this unit and why the early bye week came at the perfect time for Baltimore.
