On Thursday, Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh opened up his post-practice presser by announcing wide receiver Rashod Bateman will undergo season-ending Lisfranc surgery.
This is a significant loss for the Ravens as Bateman was the de-facto No. 1 wide receiver and was expected to take a significant step up this season after the team traded wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown in the offseason.
This is bad news for a team that was seemingly all-in on a major playoff run just a couple days ago when they traded for linebacker Roquan Smith, and sent both second- and fifth-round picks to do it.
