BALTIMORE — Seeking a boost at wide receiver, the Ravens will sign veteran DeSean Jackson to the practice squad, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told reporters Tuesday.
Jackson, a three-time Pro Bowl selection whose production has fallen off in recent years, worked out for the Ravens on Tuesday. He said last week, during an appearance on the “I Am Athlete” podcast, that he was interested in playing for the Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles or Green Bay Packers this season.
Jackson skipped training camp this summer and went unsigned over the first month of the NFL season. But even with top wide receiver Rashod Bateman recovering from a minor foot injury, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta has looked for help at the position. The team’s wide receivers have combined for 42 catches and 587 receiving yards, the third fewest in the NFL this season.
