The Baltimore Ravens are desperately searching for answers on the defense, as every aspect of the unit has fallen short of expectations in 2025. Add in the mounting injuries to various starters, and the Ravens are enduring a defensive crisis five weeks into the NFL season.
They are turning over every stone to try to turn around the defense’s worst start in franchise history. Most recently, they signed safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to their practice squad. Gardner-Johnson was released by the Houston Texans late in September and now finds himself on a team undergoing an early-season collapse.
