Ravens Sign Nose Tackle John Jenkins to One-Year Extension Before AFC North Title Game

The 36-year-old lands his first career extension, reflecting durable play that bolstered Baltimore’s midseason run defense.

Overview

  • The team announced the deal Friday, with multiple outlets reporting the value at about $2 million, including $2.1 million reported by the Baltimore Sun.
  • Jenkins has started 13 of 16 games with 36 tackles, three tackles for loss and two forced fumbles, earning a 67.4 Pro Football Focus grade.
  • He moved into a larger role after Nnamdi Madubuike’s season-ending neck injury and Broderick Washington’s Achilles injury.
  • Since Week 10, Baltimore’s defense ranks first in expected points added per carry and third in success rate and yards per carry allowed, per the Baltimore Banner.
  • The move follows a mid-December three-year extension for Travis Jones, reinforcing interior-line depth as Madubuike’s long-term status remains uncertain.
