Ravens Add Carl Lawson to Practice Squad After Workout

Coach John Harbaugh said the veteran pass rusher will ramp up on the practice squad before any game action.

Overview

  • Lawson practiced with Baltimore for the first time on Friday, and Harbaugh said he will not play Sunday against the Bears with a short week before Thursday’s game in Miami.
  • The move targets a thin outside-linebacker group after the Odafe Oweh trade and Tavius Robinson’s injured-reserve stint, with the Ravens tied for the fewest sacks in the NFL.
  • The 30-year-old posted five sacks in 15 games for the Cowboys in 2024 and had remained unsigned through the start of the 2025 season.
  • A 2017 fourth-round pick, Lawson returns to the AFC North after stints with the Bengals, Jets and Cowboys, totaling 32 career sacks.
  • Lawson has trained with Ravens pass-rush coach Chuck Smith and could be elevated from the practice squad under NFL rules once the team deems him ready.
