Ravens sign DT Broderick Washington to extension; WR Rashod Bateman back at practice

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens signed defensive tackle Broderick Washington to a three-year contract extension Wednesday.

Receiver Rashod Bateman returned to practice after beginning camp on the physically-unable-to-perform list.

Washington started 11 games in his first three seasons with the Ravens, producing two sacks.

“My mom is going to be out here this week, for the game, so I know that will be an emotional time, and I look forward to it,” Washington said. “I’ve been trying to hold back the emotion, just for her, because that’s who I really want to share the moment with. I want to share it with my whole family, but my mom, she’s been with me through it all (and) always had my back.”

The Ravens host Philadelphia in an exhibition game Saturday night.

Bateman, a first-round draft pick in 2021, has been limited to 18 games in his career because of groin and foot problems.
