Baltimore Ravens veteran defensive end Brent Urban is preparing to head into his 11th year in the NFL but if someone would’ve asked him if he envisioned himself having a 10-plus long career after dealing with multiple injuries at its onset, he would’ve answered “no chance.”
“It was tough times – a lot of dark days, and a lot to fight through,” Urban said when posed the question during a Friday post-practice press conference.
Originally drafted by the Ravens in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Virginia, the Canadian native suffered severe or season-ending injuries in three of his first four seasons.
