Former Auburn LB Josh Bynes is heading back to a familiar team. The Baltimore Ravens signed Bynes on Wednesday.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh announced the signing at his Wednesday press conference.

“Everybody probably knows Josh,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said in announcing the signing at his Wednesday press conference. “Was here in the past and has been around since then and played very good football throughout his career. He gives us an inside backer who knows how to fit schemes. Very physical player, a tackle-to-tackle player. Also will help us on special teams. A leader, so we’re very excited about that.”

Bynes played for Harbaugh’s Ravens from 2011-13, a stint that includes Baltimore’s 2012 Super Bowl season. Bynes was an 11-game starter for the Arizona Cardinals last season, but was released in March.

Bynes played for Auburn from 2007-10.
