The Ravens have their third safety for 2024, agreeing to a one-year deal with veteran defensive back Eddie Jackson.
Baltimore recently hosted Jackson on a visit, and the two sides agreed just hours before veterans arrived at the Under Armour Performance Center for the start of training camp.

Jackson spent five years with the Bears and was a teammate of Ravens All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith.
The 30-year-old Jackson was a fourth-round draft pick of the Bears in 2017, developing into one of the top safeties in the NFL. In 2018, the Alabama alum was an All-Pro and a Pro Bowler in 2018 and 2019.
Jackson has been hampered by foot injuries the past two seasons, missing ten total games during that span.
