Stephens is slated to sign a three-year, $36 million contract with the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephens suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Ravens in 2024 (17 starts), recording 70 tackles (59 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and 10 pass defenses. He now looks primed to compete for a starting gig at cornerback alongside Sauce Gardner (hamstring) for New York, though the Jets could conceivably still make notable additions to the position.

Stephens played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 70 tackles (59 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and 10 pass defenses.

EDGE Analysis

In the four seasons since being selected by the Ravens in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Stephens has logged at least 70 tackles in three campaigns. It's unclear whether Stephens will return to Baltimore for 2025, as he enters the offseason as a restricted free agent and top contributors from the 2022 NFL Draft class like Kyle Hamilton,Tyler Linderbaum and Isaiah Likely are eligible for extensions. Stephens should garner plenty of interest during the offseason from teams looking to upgrade their secondary.

Stephens recorded nine tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 41-38 overtime win at Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

In a game where Joe Burrow only threw nine incompletions on 39 pass attempts, Ravens defensive backs saw plenty of opportunities to make tackles. Stephens established a new season high for himself in that department, and he's actually on pace for a career high in tackles through five games.

Stephens (ankle) is active ahead of Saturday's game against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Stephens was able to practice in full Friday after beginning the week with a limited session due to an ankle injury, and it now seems as if he'll be able to play through the issue in Week 18. The 26-year-old cornerback will look to cause problems for a Steelers offense led by Mason Rudolph on Saturday.

Stephens (ankle) is considered questionable to play Saturday against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Stephens was able to be a full participant at the Ravens' practice Friday after opening the week limited with an ankle issue, so his questionable designation may be due to the team potentially resting him. With Baltimore locked into the top seed in the AFC, the cornerback could take a seat in the regular season finale versus Pittsburgh.

Stephens (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report.

EDGE Analysis

Stephens was a mid-week addition to the injury report last week, logging a DNP Thursday before being deemed inactive for Sunday's eventual win over the Dolphins. It remains to be seen if the Ravens plan to play any of their injured players or starters in Week 18 since Baltimore has already sewn up the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

Stephens (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Stephens logged consecutive DNPs to close the week due to an ankle injury. Thus, he was trending in the wrong direction, so it is no surprise that he will be held out Sunday. In his absence, Ronald Darby and Arthur Maulet are candidates to see increased reps at cornerback opposite Marlon Humphrey.

Stephens (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year cornerback out of SMU popped up on Baltimore's injury report as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, and after recording another DNP on Friday, Stephens' chances of playing seem to be getting worse. Arthur Maulet and Ronald Darby would likely see increased work in the Ravens' secondary if Stephens is unable to suit up in Week 17.

Stephens did not practice Thursday due to an ankle issue, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear how or when the ankle concern popped up, as Stephens wasn't listed on Wednesday's estimated injury report. The third-year cornerback has been a stalwart in Baltimore's secondary this season, playing every defensive snap in 13 of the team's 15 games so far. Kyle Hamilton (knee) and Arthur Maulet (knee) are both dealing with an injury as well, so the Ravens' secondary could be considerably shorthanded Sunday versus Miami.

Stephens had seven tackles (six solo) and a five-yard interception return in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Stephens picked off Joshua Dobbs at the beginning of the two-minute warning in the second quarter on a pass intended for Michael Wilson. It led to a one-yard rushing touchdown by Gus Edwards six plays later and gave the Ravens a seven-point lead heading into halftime. Stephens doubled his 2023 interception total in Week 8 and is now third on the Ravens defense with 45 tackles this season, trailing only Roquan Smith (82) and Patrick Queen (69). Sunday also marked yet another game in which Stephens played 100 percent of the defensive snaps. He has done so in all but one game this year.
