An unrestricted free agent in the 2009 offseason, Foxworth signed a four-year, $28 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens on February 27. The deal included $16.5 million guaranteed.[3][4] Despite having a nose for the ball (4 INTs in 2009 for the Ravens), Foxworth was beat in coverage often. But in Week 15 of the 2009 season, Foxworth won AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his two interceptions and 3 tackles against the Chicago Bears.[5] Foxworth missed the entire 2010 season due to a torn ACL suffered in an OTA workout. After playing in two games in 2011, the Ravens put Foxworth on the injured reserve list, due to his knee problems.[6]
