After reuniting for the last four games of the 2021 regular season, the Baltimore Ravens are bringing back veteran safety Tony Jefferson — per an official announcement on Thursday.
Jefferson’s second stint with the team began when he was signed to the practice squad on Dec. 13 before being promoted to the active roster permanently shortly thereafter. He originally joined the team as a big-ticket free agent in the 2017 offseason and spent the next three seasons starting 35 of a possible 39 games.
Best known for his toughness and the bone-crushing blows he delivered, a torn ACL coupled with the emergence of Chuck Clark in 2019 prompted the team to move on from him in the following offseason.
