Late For Work 8/4: Reinforcements on the Way? Ravens Close to Signing Offensive Lineman

Reinforcements on the Way? Ravens Close to Signing Offensive Lineman

A thin and banged-up offensive line could be getting reinforcement soon.

Veteran offensive tackle Austin Howard is in town for a free-agent visit with the Ravens, according to The Baltimore Sun’s Jeff Zrebiec. The visit is “close” to turning into a signing, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

This would mark a return to Baltimore for Howard, 30, who was on the Ravens practice squad in 2011. The New York Jets were able to steal him off the squad by signing him to their 53-man roster that year.
