Thursday’s practice session could be costly for the Baltimore Ravens.
According to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum left practice an hour early after suffering a lower leg injury.
Linderbaum allegedly grabbed his leg during an exercise. He then slowly left the training ground.
Baltimore selected Linderbaum with the 25th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. The talented offensive lineman from Iowa won the Rimington Trophy last year.
Ravens fans are understandably nervous about Linderbaum’s injury.
Linderbaum has already made a strong impression on his teammates during training camp.
In fact, veteran guard Kevin Zeitler recently praised 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’s got some of those talents. His running style isn’t like everybody else, so I think he’s got some great building blocks if he can put it all together, I think he’s going to be one of the best in the league. Obviously, he has a long way to go, but I’m excited to work with him and my goal for him, more than anything, is to make sure he reaches those heights.”
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh should provide an update on Linderbaum’s status this afternoon.
