Baltimore Ravens Sign Quarterback Kedon Slovis
In a strategic move, the Baltimore Ravens have signed quarterback Kedon Slovis off the practice squad of the Green Bay Packers, as reported by The Ringer on Tuesday.
Slovis Joins Roster Amidst Injuries
Slovis’s addition to the 53-man roster comes just two days ahead of the Ravens’ upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This match is particularly critical for the Ravens (4-4) as they will be without their star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is sidelined due to a thumb injury, as well as veteran backup Tyler Huntley, who is nursing a toe injury.
Emergency Quarterback Situation
In light of Jackson and Huntley’s injuries during Sunday’s 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills, undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano stepped in as the emergency quarterback. Fagnano, however, also dealt with setbacks as he sustained an ankle injury during the same game.
Fagnano’s NFL Debut
Fagnano’s performance in his NFL debut against the Bills saw him complete 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards, accompanied by an interception and a lost fumble, demonstrating the urgency of securing a reliable quarterback.
Roster Changes and Additions
In a proactive effort to bolster their quarterback depth, the Ravens signed Austin Reed to their practice squad on Monday. Reed, who is 26 years old, had a brief tenure with the Bears in the previous two seasons, being released at the end of training camp each year. During training camp with the Ravens, he completed 6 of 12 passes for 59 yards, including one touchdown and one interception across three preseason games.
Kedon Slovis’s Career Overview
Kedon Slovis, age 25, went undrafted in 2024 and made minimal impact during his time with the Arizona Cardinals, participating in only two games in 2025 where he completed one pass for a loss of two yards. He was released by Arizona on August 30 and subsequently signed by the Packers just two days later.
Connection to Ravens Coaching Staff
Notably, Ravens quarterbacks coach Israel Woolfork was Slovis’s position coach during his time with the Cardinals last season, which may aid in his adjustment to the team.
