Reports: Ravens sign CB Young to extension

The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to a contract extension with cornerback Tavon Young, The Athletic and ESPN reported Thursday. The team announced it would hold a press conference Friday with head coach John Harbaugh, general manager Eric DeCosta and an unnamed player.

The Athletic identified the player as Young, a 2016 fourth-round draft pick who turns 25 next month. No terms of the deal were available. After missing the 2017 season with a torn ACL, Young returned to play in 15 games (six starts) in 2018. He registered 37 tackles and one interception and recovered three fumbles, returning two of those recoveries for touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13 and the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16.

Young, who had 50 tackles and two picks as a 2016 rookie, had one year left on his four-year contract. He missed the Ravens' playoff loss to the Chargers with a sports hernia and had surgery in January, but is expected to be healthy in time for Baltimore's offseason program.
