The Ravens re-signed Fort to a one-year contract Thursday.
Ford notched a career-high 53 total tackles across 14 games with the Ravens last year, in addition to two pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery which he returned for a score.

Fort practiced without limitations Friday, so it looks like he's on track to play Sunday barring a setback. The Northern Iowa product has started the last six games he played, but he logged more than a 50 percent snap share on just one occasion in that stretch. He's a tough IDP play at that rate, especially while averaging just 3.7 tackles per contest.
