The Indianapolis Colts are signing free-agent offensive tackle Ryan Howard, according to the NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
Howard started all 16 games at right tackle for the Ravens last season. He was a solid blocker, especially in pass protection. He was graded as the league’s 18th-best right tackle by Pro Football Focus.
The Ravens parted ways with Howard after one season, however, when they didn’t pick up his option.
Baltimore already re-signed James Hurst and has Alex Lewis returning. The Ravens further solidified their tackle position by drafting Orlando Brown Jr.
