Linebacker Kyler Fackrell Gets Tryout for Ravens

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens are looking to add depth, and veteran outside linebacker Kyler Fackrell recently tried out for the team.

Fackrell was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He spent four years in Green Bay before signing with the New York Giants (2020) and Los Angeles Chargers (2021).

He has appeared in 86 games with 19 starts over his career, totaling 143 tackles (99 solo), 23.5 sacks, one interception which was returned for a touchdown, four passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Last season, Fackrell played in 13 games (one start) with the Chargers, finishing with 16 tackles (11 solos), three sacks, one pass defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

He signed a one-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders in March. He was placed on season-ending IR for an undisclosed injury on July 29, 2022, and released one month later.

The #Ravens emerged from training camp without any new injuries to their key starters.
As a result, Baltimore is expected to bounce back from last year's 8-9 finish and make the playoffs for the fourth time in five years.#RavensFlock https://t.co/QMWfwb2Iwk via @toddkarpovich

Fackrell also started all 41 of his career games at Utah State.

Over his collegiate career, he had 253 tackles (104), 12 sacks, and four interceptions with one returned for a touchdown, eight passes defensed, four forced fumbles, and seven fumble recoveries. Fackrell was a semifinalist for the Butkus Award as a senior in 2015 so he has pedigree.

If signed, Fackrell would be the third former Raiders player to sign with the Ravens, joining wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and running back Kenyan Drake.

Fackrell's availability is uncertain if signed because of the injury.
