Baltimore Ravens rookie Rashod Bateman will have surgery for a “soft tissue” groin injury he sustained at practice on Tuesday.
It’s the latest partially good news for the rookie, despite his injury being a huge blow to the Ravens’ passing offense.
Coach John Harbaugh told reporters that Bateman will undergo an operation on his groin either on Thursday or Friday, adding, “He’ll be back sometime in September. I think that’s pretty good news.”
It could be worse. The “good news” is that Bateman won’t spend the entire season rehabbing his injury, and this surgery is better done sooner rather than later.
