Tony Jefferson closed out the 2021 season with the Baltimore Ravens. He'll begin the 2022 league year with them, too.
The Ravens announced Thursday they have re-signed the veteran safety.
The two parties are quite familiar. Jefferson played some of his best ball in Baltimore during the 2017-18 seasons. His 2019 campaign was cut short with an ACL injury. He was sidelined for all of the next season and spent part of this past one on the 49ers' practice squad, appearing in two games before being released in December.
The Ravens signed Jefferson soon after and activated him for the final four games of the regular season. He recorded 17 tackles, including a tackle for loss, in reserve duty.
