The Baltimore Ravens have signed cornerback Ronald Darby to a one-year contract.
The Ravens, who announced the deal Thursday night, needed help at cornerback because of Marlon Humphrey’s foot issue. Several other Baltimore defensive backs have been dealing with health concerns as well.
The 29-year-old Darby is coming off his own major injury — to his ACL. That ended his 2022 season in early October after he’d started five games for Denver. He started 11 games for the Broncos in 2021 and 16 for Washington the season before that. Baltimore coach John Harbaugh confirmed Wednesday that Humphrey needed surgery, but he said it wouldn’t be a long-term injury. On Thursday, defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald talked about the injuries at cornerback.
“We do have good players in our back end, and the expectation is to come in and to produce and execute and play the way that we play,” he said. “I’m sure there’ll be pieces moving from here — between now and when we get kicked off - and see where we’re at.”
