Ravens Sign Veteran Linebacker Jonathan Freeny

The Ravens have added veteran linebacker Jonathan Freeny, bolstering their depth at linebacker and on special teams.

Baltimore had an opening on the 53-man roster after placing defensive end Brent Urban on injured reserve (IR) with a Lisfranc foot injury that will require season-ending surgery.

Urban also spent his entire rookie season on IR (knee) and sat out 10 games as a sophomore due to a biceps injury. He stayed healthy last season and was expected to be a difference-maker when finally given the chance as a starter this year.

Urban marks the team’s 16th player on IR, and that doesn’t include tight end Dennis Pitta or linebacker Zachary Orr.
