Ravens sign former All-Pro cornerback to the practice squad
The Ravens are 7-4 and preparing for a huge Week 12 matchup against John Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers.
With Baltimore dealing with injuries and uncertainty in the secondary, Aaron Wilson reports that the team signed free-agent defensive back Desmond King to the practice squad.
King was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL draft and earned All-Pro honors in 2018 as both a defensive back and a punt returner.
King signed to the Texans practice squad this summer after being released during the 53-man roster cuts to end training camp.
Last season, King spent time with the Texans after getting cut by Pittsburgh and contributed 47 tackles, one sack, and two passes defended in seven games for the AFC South champion.
During his career, King has played for the Los Angeles Chargers, Tennessee Titans, Texans, and Steelers, recording 473 career tackles, nine interceptions, seven fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles, 35 passes defended, and 9 1/2 sacks with 2,413 return yards and five total touchdowns.
