OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Wide receiver DeSean Jackson will play a 15th season in the NFL after being signed to the Baltimore Ravens practice squad on Tuesday, agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The expectation is for the 35-year-old Jackson to get elevated on game day and boost the Ravens' deep passing game. Last season, Jackson showed he still has speed, averaging 22.7 yards per catch, which is the highest of his 14-year career.
Stretching the field has been a challenge for quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has completed just 21% of his passes that have traveled at least 20 yards in the air.
