Overview
- The Baltimore Ravens announced the signing of wide receiver Shedrick Jackson to their practice squad to bolster depth at the position.
- The move comes as the team monitors Zay Flowers’ hamstring and copes with Ja’Kobi Lane on injured reserve, making an extra practice option valuable to the offense.
- Jackson is an Auburn product known for straight-line speed and special-teams experience but has limited NFL game work after stints with the Bengals and the Raiders.
- As a practice-squad player Jackson will work in practice and on special teams and can be elevated to the active roster under NFL rules if the Ravens need him for a game.
- The roster spot opened after veteran Chris Moore was elevated to the active roster, and the signing preserves Baltimore’s receiver rotation without projecting an immediate role change.
