Ravens strong safety Matt Elam may have torn his biceps and is undergoing a magnetic resonance imaging exam today to determine the severity of his injury, according to sources.
It's feared that the injury could be season-ending. A complete tear where surgery is required could take four to six months of recovery time whereas a partial tear typically heals in three to six weeks.
Elam got hurt in practice Saturday, leaving the field with trainer Mark Smith.
A former first-round draft pick and consensus All-American at the University of Florida, Elam is competing for the strong safety job with veteran Will Hill.
