The Ravens will bring cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptist up from the practice squad after Jimmy Smith’s season-ending Achilles injury Sunday against the Detroit Lions, Head Coach John Harbaugh announced Monday.
Baltimore signed Jean-Baptist to their practice squad on Oct. 3. The former second-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2014 was considered one of the best players in the draft.
Like Smith, Jean-Baptist is a big-bodied corner, standing in at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds. He played in four games as a rookie, almost entirely on special teams, but was released by the Saints at the end of the preseason the following year.
