The Baltimore Ravens are adding another developmental option to their offensive line mix entering the regular season, announcing a practice-squad signing that gives the club an extra young body to evaluate in-game preparation and practice settings.
Baltimore is signing former Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman AJ Arcuri to its practice squad, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
Arcuri’s NFL journey so far
Arcuri, 29, entered the league as a seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Michigan State. He has spent the bulk of his professional career with the Los Angeles Rams, navigating a cycle of roster transactions that included being waived, signed to the practice squad and elevated to the active roster as a rookie.
After spending time on and off the Rams’ practice squad, Arcuri was waived again in 2024 before returning to Los Angeles’ practice squad. Across his tenure with the Rams, he has appeared in 10 regular-season games.
What the signing means for Baltimore
The addition gives the Ravens another developmental option to carry into the regular season and allows the team to assess Arcuri in its environment, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported. For Baltimore, the move increases competition in practice and provides depth as the roster settles for Week 1.
For Arcuri, the signing represents another opportunity to establish himself within a new organization and compete for a shot at the active roster. His background of practice-squad work and occasional activations provides Baltimore a player familiar with life on the margins of NFL rosters and the readiness those roles require.
With the regular season imminent, the Ravens have prioritized adding experienced, developmental pieces to keep their depth chart flexible. Arcuri’s arrival will be evaluated in practices and meetings, as he attempts to translate prior game appearances and practice experience into a role within Baltimore’s system.
The practice-squad move completes a low-risk addition for Baltimore and offers Arcuri another path back toward regular-season snaps should the opportunity arise.
