Ravens Waive Safety Eddie Jackson

The Baltimore Ravens have waived safety Eddie Jackson following his recent absence from the team's trip to Pittsburgh, where they lost 18-16. Jackson played nine games with the Ravens this season, starting four, but struggled significantly in his last appearance against the Cleveland Browns, leading to his reduced role. This dissatisfaction with his playing time, alongside the emergence of other safeties, contributed to his departure from the team. In a corresponding roster move, Baltimore signed linebacker Kristian Welch, who may play a key role against the Los Angeles Chargers if Roquan Smith is unable to participate due to a hamstring injury. Jackson's tenure with the Ravens ends with 30 tackles and a coverage grade ranking him 86th among safeties according to Pro Football Focus. He previously had a successful career with the Chicago Bears before joining Baltimore.
