This Thursday’s practice session could prove costly for the Baltimore Ravens.
According to Jeff Zerbick of The Athletic, Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum left practice an hour before he injured his lower leg.
Linderbaum allegedly grabbed his leg during a running drill. After that he slowly left the practice area.
Baltimore selected Linderbaum with the 25th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Last year, Iowa’s talented offensive lineman won the Rimington Trophy.
Ravens fans are very worried about Linderbaum’s injury.
Linderbaum has already made a strong impression on his teammates during training camp.
In fact, veteran guard Kevin Zeitler recently raved about Linderbaum’s potential.
“I think every great lineman in NFL history—there are always certain traits that stand out,” Zeitler said via Baltimore beatdown. “I think he has some of those talents. The way he runs isn’t like everyone else’s, so I think he has some great building blocks. If he can put it together, I Looks like he’ll be one of the best in the league. Obviously he has a long way to go, but I’m looking forward to working with him and my goal for him, more than anything, is to make sure that He reached those heights.”
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh should provide an update on Linderbaum’s situation later this afternoon.
