OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Ravens placed Pro Bowl fullback Patrick Ricard on injured reserve Thursday, which means Baltimore will be without one of its top blockers for Sunday's must-win game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Ricard, who was named to his third straight Pro Bowl, has been dealing with a knee injury over the last month. He had missed three consecutive games before playing 28 snaps in last Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Undrafted out of Maine in 2017, Ricard is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
