The Baltimore Ravens are releasing safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson a week after signing him to their practice squad.
Gardner-Johnson's agent Kevin Conner said the Ravens and the veteran defensive back came to "an amicable mutual decision."
Garnder-Johnson was not added to the active roster for Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, while safety Alohi Gilman, who was acquired by Baltimore in a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers last week, debuted and made seven tackles.
"After the Ravens traded for a safety, we were looking for a clearer path to play," Conner told Schefter.
It's the second time this season Garnder-Johnson has been released. The Houston Texans released him late last month after just three games.
Gardner-Johnson, 27, has 18 interceptions and 51 passes defended in his seven NFL seasons. He had six interceptions last season for the Philadelphia Eagles in their march to the Super Bowl title.
The Ravens (1-5) rank last in the league in points allowed per game (32.3) as they enter their bye week.
