John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens are currently reeling from a dismal 1-4 start. Plus, they are crippled by a series of defensive injuries.
They have taken a low-risk gamble by signing veteran safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to their practice squad in October 2025. The primary goal is to secure immediate, experienced depth as starting safety Kyle Hamilton recovers from a groin injury.
An Instagram post by Adam Schefter mentions;
“ Free-agent safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is signing with the Ravens practice squad, per his agent Kevin Conner of @unisportsmgmt . Gardner-Johnson still gets his fully guaranteed 2025 salary with the Texans so there is little financial impact for the Ravens.”
Gardner-Johnson’s talent is undeniable; he is a Super Bowl winner with the Eagles
