Cleared to return
Urban (concussion) was spotted warming up on the sidelines and has been cleared to return against the Rams on Sunday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Zrebiec initially reported that Urban had entered the league's concussion protocol, but the veteran defensive end appears to have been cleared to return to Sunay's game. Urban logged one solo tackle in the first half prior to his exit.

In concussion protocol
Urban has entered concussion protocol during Sunday's Week 6 game against the Rams, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Urban jogged to the medical tent during the second quarter and is now having concussion symptoms monitored. Baltimore made Aeneas Peebles a healthy scratch Sunday, so the team is thin along the defensive line. CJ Okoye could be asked to log more defensive snaps while Urban is out.

Joins active roster
The Ravens signed Urban off their practice squad Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive lineman was elevated for the Ravens' Week 3 loss to the Lions, playing 25 defensive snaps and recording one total tackle. With Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and Broderick Washington (ankle) both moving to injured reserve Saturday, Urban's signing provides needed depth at defensive end. He's expected to start opposite Aeneas Peebles in Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Chiefs.

Back with Baltimore
The Ravens signed Urban to a contract Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Urban was without a team for much of the offseason but will return to Baltimore for a fourth year. He finished the 2024 regular season with 20 tackles (nine solo) and two pass defenses in 13 games. Urban should return to his role as a rotational defensive end behind Broderick Washington and Nnamdi Madubuike.

Clears concussion protocols
Urban (concussion) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Urban missed the Ravens' last two games while in the league's concussion protocols. He was able to practice in full all week, and now that he has been cleared by an independent neurologist, Urban will be able to return for Sunday's AFC North clash. In the five regular-season games before suffering the concussion in Week 8 against the Browns, Urban registered 11 tackles (six solo) and one pass defense.
Nov 13, 2024
Full go for Wednesday
Urban (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Urban has missed each of the Ravens' last two games due to a concussion sustained in the team's Week 8 loss to the Browns, but Wednesday's full practice suggests he's almost past the issue. The veteran defensive lineman must still clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 11, when the Ravens travel to Pittsburgh.
Nov 6, 2024
Remains out
Urban (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Urban will miss his second-straight game as he continues to navigate the league's five-step protocols before gaining clearance to play. With the Ravens on a short week, the Virginia product will have extra time to recover before their Week 11 matchup against the Steelers.
Nov 1, 2024
Ruled out for Week 9
Urban (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Urban will be forced to miss his first game of the year after suffering a concussion in the team's loss to the Browns in Week 8. The defensive lineman will shift his focus to being ready to go for Week 10 versus the Bengals on Thursday Night Football. In the meantime, Broderick Washington stands to see an increased workload on the defensive line in Week 9.
Oct 30, 2024
Opens week with DNP
Urban (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Urban sustained a concussion during the Ravens' Week 8 loss to the Browns, so it's no surprise he's not practicing Wednesday. He must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up for Baltimore's Week 9 matchup against the Broncos. If Urban is unable to do so, Broderick Washington (knee) could see increased snaps as a rotational defensive end.
Oct 27, 2024
Diagnosed with concussion
Urban (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Urban will be placed in the league's concussion protocols, which puts him in jeopardy of missing the Ravens' Week 9 contest against the Broncos on Sunday, Nov. 3. Broderick Washington will be the lone backup defensive end for the rest of Sunday's game behind starters Nnamdi Madubuike and Travis Jones.
Mar 13, 2024
Re-signing with Ravens
Urban re-signed with the Ravens on Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Urban will stay in Baltimore where he's compiling 43 tackles (26 solo), including four sacks, in 33 games played across the past two seasons. The 2014 fourth-round pick will look to contribute as rotational defender once again during the upcoming campaign.
Jan 16, 2024
Avoids Tuesday injury report
Urban (head) was not listed on Baltimore's injury report Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Urban was forced out of the Ravens' regular-season finale early by a head injury, but apparently it isn't a serious issue. He figures to play a rotational role on the defensive line in the divisional round.
Jan 6, 2024
Doesn't return after head injury
Urban (head) did not return to Saturday's 17-10 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Urban was being evaluated for a concussion and stayed off the field for the rest of the contest. He finished Saturday's game with one tackle.
Oct 20, 2023
Expected to play Sunday
Urban (neck) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner reports.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old left Baltimore's Week 6 win over Tennessee after suffering a neck injury, but it seems as if he's been able to move past the issue. Urban plays as a rotational defensive end for the Ravens, recording eight total tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack through six appearances this year.
Oct 15, 2023
Won't return Sunday
Urban (neck) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Titans, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Urban recorded one tackle before leaving the game. Kyle Van Noy and Tavius Robinson will get an increased workload for the rest of the contest behind Broderick Washington and Justin Madubuike.
Oct 15, 2023
Exits Sunday's game early
Urban is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans due to a neck injury.
ANALYSIS
Urban recorded one assisted tackle before exiting the contest. If he's unable to return, outside linebackers Kyle Van Noy and Tavius Robinson would be candidates for increased snaps at defensive end.
May 20, 2022
Signs with Ravens
Urban signed a one-year contract with the Ravens on Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Urban missed the second half of the 2021 season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn triceps but will attempt to carve out a role in Baltimore during the offseason. He appeared in six games with the Cowboys last year and racked up three tackles and a pass defense.
Nov 30, 2021
Done for season
Urban (triceps) will not return this season according to his wife, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Urban underwent triceps surgery Tuesday after being placed on IR on Oct. 26 with the injury. The eight-year veteran will finish his 2021 campaign having played six games with three assisted tackles and a pass defensed. He'll now set his sights on a 2022 return.
Oct 26, 2021
Shifted over to IR
Urban (triceps) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old will miss at least three contests before returning from IR. In six games this season, he has three tackles and a pass deflection.
Mar 18, 2021
Next stop Dallas
Urban is signing a one-year contract with the Cowboys, as his wife Kate Urban announced via Twitter on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Urban is coming off the best year of his career, having recorded 36 tackles (17 solo), 2.5 sacks and one pass breakup across 16 games with the Bears. He now stands to handle a valuable depth role with the Cowboys' defensive line.
Jan 10, 2021
Tallies two stops in playoff loss
Urban recorded two tackles in the Bears' 21-9 loss to the Saints in the wild-card round.
ANALYSIS
In his seventh season in the league, Urban set career highs with 36 tackles and 2.5 sacks over 369 snaps in a rotational role. He'll be an unrestricted free agent, and he'll likely continue to function in a reserve role regardless of where he signs, and he should retain marginal IDP value.
Dec 13, 2020
Posts second sack of season
Urban recorded a sack and two tackles in the Bears' 36-7 victory over the Texans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Urban has averaged over three tackles since Week 8, but he remains a low-upside lineup option in IDP leagues.
Oct 18, 2020
Will suit up against Carolina
Urban (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old was limited in practice during the week, but he ultimately showed enough to team trainers to earn the nod for Sunday's tilt. Urban has been getting more involved the past two weeks, posting six tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack in outings against the Colts and Buccaneers. He had four total tackles and zero tackles for loss on 49 combined defensive snaps Weeks 1 through 3.
Mar 24, 2020
Re-signs with Chicago
Urban has re-signed with the Bears, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Urban joined the Bears last October after being released by the Titans. The 6-7, 300-pounder subsequently logged 16 tackles in nine games as a reserve defensive end with Chicago. He's in line to continue in that role in 2020.
