Ravens sign former Steelers safety Rayshawn Jenkins, per Jordan Schultz

Baltimore adds secondary depth on a two-game skid at 4-3.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated 1h1 min read

What happened: Pittsburgh released Jenkins on Oct. 21 after he played in six games to open the 2026 campaign. The Steelers originally brought him aboard in training camp after parting ways with Darnell Savage, but reduced his defensive role following a matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Baltimore now becomes his third AFC North stop.

Why it matters: The addition gives the AFC North-contending Ravens an experienced division hand after dropping a 35-13 decision to the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 25. While Baltimore sits ninth in the conference standings after consecutive division losses, Pittsburgh moved to 6-4 with a 16-10 final win over the New Orleans Saints.

By the numbers: In 2025 with the Cleveland Browns, Jenkins recorded 45 tackles and one interception across all 17 regular-season games, per ESPN. Within the division standings as of Oct. 26, 2026, Cleveland holds the No. 3 seed at 5-2, Cincinnati sits seventh at 4-2 on a two-game winning streak, and Baltimore is 4-3.

What to watch: Jenkins joins Baltimore's secondary rotation immediately as the club looks to halt its two-game slide in Week 8.
