The Baltimore Ravens are beginning to ramp up their training camp practices as they prepare for the regular season. As the intensity heats up, injuries often follow. On the third padded practice of training camp, Baltimore had a few new ones crop up.
Wide receiver Antoine Wesley was the newest absence from practice. Coach John Harbaugh said Wesley is dealing with a “shoulder situation,” with Wesley seeing a shoulder specialist. Harbaugh said they’re not sure if the injury will require surgery or not but preemptively noted Wesley’s likely to miss a few weeks.
Undrafted free agent tight end Eli Wolf was injured at the end of practice after a collision. While Harbaugh downplayed the injury, saying he didn’t think it was a serious issue, the team is waiting to hear about the extent of the injury once the training staff looks at him.
Wolf and Wesley join wide receiver Chris Moore, who has a broken finger, as the Ravens’ current injured player of training camp thus far. Baltimore placed cornerback Iman Marshall on injured reserve after he tore his ACL and MCL prior to pads coming on.
Wesley wasn’t expected to make the team, likely pushing for a spot on the practice squad rather than the 53-man roster. With the Ravens bringing in several wide receivers for workouts this week, Wesley’s injury might push Baltimore to cut him in favor of an unsigned free agent with time remaining in training camp. The Ravens have to be hoping the injury to Wolf isn’t very serious. While he’s an undrafted rookie, he’s in the competition for the third spot on the tight end depth chart.
