Ravens Reportedly Add Linebacker Jamon Johnson to Training‑Camp Roster

The late signing gives Baltimore a developmental, special‑teams option as injuries and limited preseason snaps have reduced its linebacker depth.

Overview

  • Reports from The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec say the Ravens are signing Jamon Johnson, but the team has not yet issued an official announcement.
  • Johnson, 24, went undrafted in 2025 and played two NFL games for the Green Bay Packers last season, starting once and recording 10 tackles and a pass breakup.
  • He comes with a strong college resume from Georgia and Kentucky, including first‑team All‑American honors in 2022 and membership on Georgia’s 2021–2022 national title teams.
  • Baltimore’s move follows limited linebacker availability with Teddye Buchanan on the PUP list, Carl Jones Jr. missing practices, and starter Roquan Smith expected to sit out most preseason action.
  • Johnson will join camp late with only a short window to learn the new defense and must stand out on special teams to earn a 53‑man roster spot or a practice‑squad place, a common path for fringe players.
