ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Ravens are close to finalizing a deal with free agent OL Austin Howard on Friday.
Howard is in Baltimore taking a physical for the team right now, so it appears a deal could be done by this afternoon.
Baltimore was tossed out as a potential landing spot for Howard shortly after he was cut loose by the Raiders. The Ravens could use some offensive line depth and Howard is clearly among the best available options at this point in the year.
Howard, 30, originally signed on with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent back in 2010.
