Ravens wide receiver Marlon Brown hasn’t been active for the past five weeks as he’s dealt with a back injury, and coach John Harbaugh said Monday his season is essentially over as the issue continues to linger.
Harbaugh said he didn’t know why general manager-executive vice president Ozzie Newsome didn’t put Brown on injured reserve, but that he knew this month that Brown was probably not going to return this year.
“He’s had back spasms, then they found ... a little bit of a disc injury in there and they kept trying to get him back, and then about two weeks ago I could just tell he wasn’t going to get back, so I just kind of gave up hope,” Harbaugh said.
