Michael Pierce is entering a contract season and according to reports, he was taken off the practice field today because of his lack of conditioning. That’s not the way he needed to start the 2019 season. The good news is that John Harbaugh and the Ravens did the responsible thing, avoiding an injury for an unready player. The bad news is that even if it’s not a huge deal, it isn’t good.
Pierce makes a living because of his ability to physically bring results on the football field. He happens to play one of the positions where players carry the most weight; that being said being is first on the job description.
