The Baltimore Ravens re-signed reserve cornerback Chris Johnson Thursday.
Johnson will likely compete with 2012 fifth-round pick Asa Jackson for the Ravens fifth cornerback job behind Lardarius Webb, Corey Graham, Jimmy Smith and Chykie Brown.
Johnson, who will be 34 in September, signed with Baltimore in mid-November and played in four games during the regular season.
Johnson spent five seasons with the Oakland Raiders prior to joining the Ravens. He was a starter for 29 of the final 46 games he played in with Oakland.
