OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens restricted free agent offensive tackle Jared Gaither has signed his one-year, $2.396 million tender, the team announced.

Gaither signed his first round tender today, and he returned to practice from a foot injury that has sidelined him since the first week of May.

Gaither has been shifted to right offensive tackle and replaced on the left side by Michael Oher.

The 6-foot-9, 340-pounder has been the subject of trade rumors, but nothing has been offered to the Ravens that they're interested in enough to move him.

At this point, he's expected to play for the Ravens this year.

“Today was a good Start off the week the big hoomie out back looking good," Gaither wrote on his Twitter account.

Two restricted free agents on the Ravens' roster remain unsigned: fullback Le'Ron McClain and safety Dawan Landry.

McClain was assigned a $2.396 million first-round tender and Landry was given a $1.759 million second-round tender.
