The Ravens are signing veteran linebacker Quincy Roche after the team placed second-year pass rusher Malik Hamm on injured reserve.

A Maryland native, Roche played at New Town High School in Owings Mills and was a sixth-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021 after playing at the University of Miami.

Roche played 17 games with the New York Giants in 2021 and ’22, recording 40 tackles, 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble. Roche spent the 2023 season on the Minnesota Vikings practice squad before becoming a free agent.
