The Ravens have signed guard Kenyon Green to their practice squad, giving the former first-round pick a chance to establish himself in Baltimore.
Green was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles a week ago, just a few months after the Eagles traded with the Houston Texans for him.
The Texans made Green the 15th-overall pick in the 2022 draft. The versatile 6-foot-4, 323-pound blocker was a first-team All-American at Texas A&M and finalist for the Lombardi Award as the nation's top lineman. He was particularly lauded for his physical run blocking.
Thrust into immediate action, Green started 14 games as a rookie but was Pro Football Focus' lowest-graded guard in the league among those who played in at least 10 games.
Green's second season was lost to a preseason shoulder injury. He returned last year to play in 12 games and make nine starts for Houston.
In March, the Texans traded Green and a fifth-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson and a sixth-round pick.
Now the 24-year-old Green gets another chance in Baltimore, which had a spot open for a young, developmental guard. Seventh-round rookie Garrett Dellinger opted to sign with the Cleveland Browns' practice squad and center/guard Nick Samac was signed off the Ravens' practice squad by the Carolina Panthers.
