OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens signed veteran cornerback Brandon Boykin and parted ways with cornerback Kyle Arrington on Monday.
The roster moves came four days after the Ravens lost Tavon Young to a torn ACL. Boykin has primarily played nickel-back, which is the role Young was expected to fill.
The Ravens also signed cornerback Al-Hajj Shabazz and terminated the contract of Arrington, a move that frees up approximately $2.1 million in cap space.
Boykin, 26, has made eight interceptions in a five-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears.
