Ravens' Ar'Darius Washington Out With Torn Achilles

Baltimore Ravens safety Ar'Darius Washington, who went undrafted in 2021, suffered a torn Achilles during conditioning and is expected to miss most or all of the 2025 NFL season. Washington recently signed a one-year, $3.263 million tender after a breakout year and was set to form a safety trio with Kyle Hamilton and first-round rookie Malaki Starks. His injury is a blow for Baltimore, whose pass defense struggled last season and will now rely more on younger players. The Ravens may also seek veteran additions to bolster their secondary. Washington addressed the setback on social media, expressing disappointment but determination to return. The loss comes as Baltimore faces a difficult 2025 schedule and stiff competition in the AFC.
