Matt Elam’s bid for a bounceback season looks like it has suffered a serious blow.
The third-year safety injured his biceps during Saturday’s training camp practice, which could potentially end his season and put him in line for a lengthy recovery. Elam underwent an MRI Sunday to determine the exact extent of the injury, but the team is still awaiting results of that test.
“I’m not real optimistic right now,” Head Coach John Harbaugh said. “I haven’t heard the final word, but it wasn’t real optimistic yesterday talking to the doctors.”
The injury is particularly disappointing for Elam, who committed himself to having an improved season after a disappointing sophomore campaign.
