Ravens Place QB Skylar Thompson On IR, Sign Replacement

To fill the open roster spot, the team signed QB Austin Reed.

Thompson can’t play for the Ravens again this season since he went on IR before cutdowns unless he’s released with a settlement. Baltimore can’t re-sign him until that settlement expires. 

Thompson, 28, was a seventh-round pick to the Dolphins out of Kansas State in the 2022 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year, $3.7 million contract through 2025 with a base salary of $1.1 million in 2024.

The Dolphins waived Thompson midseason in 2024 and later signed him to their practice squad. After playing out his deal, he signed a futures deal with the Steelers for the 2025 season. However, he spent nearly the whole year on injured reserve. 

Thompson caught on with the Ravens ahead of the 2026 season. 

In 2024, Thompson appeared in three games for the Dolphins making one start and completing 21 of 33 passes for 187 yards.
