The Ravens and Brent Urban are back together yet again, as Baltimore re-signed the veteran defensive end Saturday morning during training camp.
Urban, 34, is entering his 12th NFL season. This is the fourth time he's inked a deal to return to Baltimore after originally being a Ravens fourth-round pick in 2014.
A rock-steady 6-foot-7 defender who is stout against the run, Urban played in 13 games last season and made 20 tackles. He helped the Ravens rank as the NFL's top run defense in the league.
Urban will be playing, however, without good friend Michael Pierce, as half of the "Fun Bunch" retired this offseason. Urban steps in along other returning defensive linemen Nnamdi Madubuike, Travis Jones, and Broderick Washington, and joins incoming veteran John Jenkins and rookie Aeneas Peebles.
Urban's length is tough to replace, and he'll compete for a spot and role in the Ravens' loaded defense once again.
