Chidobe Awuzie: Everything you need to know

The Ravens have agreed to a one-year deal with Awuzie, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports Awuzie is set to earn $5 million guaranteed for another one-year stint with the Ravens. The 30-year-old played 14 games in the 2025 regular season, starting in four. The team was clearly impressed with his production at outside cornerback, as his 2026 contract comes in $3.75 million higher than his 2025 deal.

Awuzie registered 43 tackles (29 solo) and seven pass defenses across 14 games for the Ravens in 2025. Awuzie was limited to just eight games with the Titans in 2024 due to a hamstring injury before being released by Tennessee in March. He inked a one-year deal with Baltimore that same month and managed to stay on the field more in 2025. He started at corner in each of the first four games of the season but played 60 percent or less of the Ravens' defensive snaps in eight of his last 10 outings, which may have been due to multiple injuries that he was managing. Awuzie is an unrestricted free agent and will look to join a team in need of veteran depth in the secondary.

Awuzie (foot) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's matchup with the Packers, Ryan Mink of the Ravens official website reports. Awuzie will make his return to action after missing the team's Week 16 loss to the Patriots with a foot injury. The 30-year-old will be back in his starting role opposite of Nate Wiggins at cornerback versus Green Bay.
