Baltimore signed Welch from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Welch will give the Ravens some depth at inside linebacker, though he's mostly operated on special teams this year. He began the 2024 regular season with the Broncos, accumulating eight tackles (four solo) across six games. Veteran safety Eddie Jackson was waived from the Ravens' 53-man roster in a corresponding move.

Baltimore signed Welch from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Welch will give the Ravens some depth at inside linebacker, though he's mostly operated on special teams this year. He began the 2024 regular season with the Broncos, accumulating eight tackles (four solo) across six games. Veteran safety Eddie Jackson was waived from the Ravens' 53-man roster in a corresponding move.
The Packers re-signed Welch on Thursday. Welch began last season on the Packers' practice squad, but he became an integral part of Green Bay's special teams unit as the year progressed. The 25-year-old linebacker appeared in 12 games in 2023, playing a total of 210 special teams snaps and recording six total tackles. Welch is expected to compete for a similar role this offseason.
