The Baltimore Ravens recently hosted veteran defensive tackle D.J. Reader for a visit, but he left without a contract and is expected to sign with a team after the April draft. Reader, 31, has started 32 games for the Detroit Lions over the past two seasons, yet recorded no sacks or tackles for loss in 2025, although he remains effective in collapsing pockets. Baltimore already has three nose tackles but Reader may offer more potential than them as he seeks a contract likely under $5 million per year. Additionally, optimism is growing around Nnamdi Madubuike’s recovery from a serious neck injury, which could bolster the Ravens’ defensive line.
