The Baltimore Ravens announced that they are are re-signing safety Tony Jefferson. The veteran was signed late in the 2021 season to the practice squad because the Ravens’ secondary was severely depleted due to injuries as well as COVID-19. His familiarity with then-defensive coordinator Don Martindale’s defense made it easy for him to make it to the active roster after getting back into football playing shape.
Jefferson was with the Ravens from 2017 to 2019 but was released from the team in February of 2020 after tearing his ACL during the 2019 season. He signed with the San Fransisco 49ers in the offseason, was released, and eventually made his way back to Baltimore.
