The Baltimore Ravens were hoping to add some depth to their offensive line with the addition of Jake Long. Long failed his physical and the Ravens decided to step away from the veteran tackle.
Long is a perfect example of the brutality of the NFL. He has suffered a litany of career hindering injuries. Long has suffered a torn bicep and back to back years tearing his ACL. Long looked like he was going to go down as one of the best tackles of all time, before every imaginable injury found him.
Long would have been nothing more than a plan B.
