The Baltimore Ravens fired back Wednesday to deny a report claiming that team owner Steve Bisciotti is blocking a move to sign free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

“We are going through a process, and we have not made a decision,” Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said in a statement. “Steve Bisciotti has not told us we cannot sign Colin Kaepernick, nor has he blocked the move. Whoever is making those claims is wrong.”

Earlier on Wednesday, ESPN reported that Newsome and head coach John Harbaugh “support the signing” of Kaepernick “but have met resistance” from Bisciotti. ESPN also reported that “this is not the first time an NFL team has wanted to add Kaepernick to its roster, but the move was blocked by the team’s owner.”

Since Bisciotti and team president Dick Cass said at a fan forum on Sunday that the Ravens internally discussed the possibility of signing Kaepernick, who remains on the open market after kneeling for the national anthem last season and after an offseason spent fighting for several social causes, the team’s quarterback situation has generated significant media interest.

“We’re sensitive to it, we’re monitoring it, and we’re trying to figure out what’s the right tact,” Bisciotti said at the fan forum on Sunday. “So pray for us.”

Cass also said at the same forum on Sunday that the team reached out to fans and sponsors about the reaction that might arise if the team opted to sign Kaepernick. Bisciotti mentioned free agent passer Robert Griffin III as a potential option, saying he could get a workout with the team.

Harbaugh reiterated Wednesday there was “no update” to the quarterback situation.

Starter Joe Flacco has been held out of practice with a back injury, which prompted the team to add another passer for training camp. Second-year player Josh Woodrum was signed on Monday after the team waived David Olson, the Champions Indoor Football league quarterback whom the team signed July 28.
