The Caw: 5-Year-Old Leukemia Patient Runs For Touchdown At Ravens Practice

Riding a two-game losing skid and with a banged-up roster, Baltimore is heading into a huge game against the New York Giants Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

While they may be hurting mentally and physically, the Ravens got an emotional boost at the end of Friday’s practice from another fighter.

Little 5-year-old Jack Kirkbride visited Ravens practice, fresh from a clinical appointment. He is battling a rare form of leukemia at John’s Hopkins Hospital.

Jack has a sidekick brother, Ryan, who is 17 months younger, but his favorite football player is quarterback Joe Flacco.
