Baltimore Beatdown
Health updates on the Baltimore Ravens following Day 5 of Training Camp.
There have been a few notable training camp absences for the Baltimore Ravens through their first five days of camp. Fortunately, the reasons for their absence aren’t anything significant, according to Head Coach John Harbaugh.
On Monday, July 28, both cornerback Jaire Alexander and wide receiver Rashod Bateman did not practice. Harbaugh provided updates on both.
“[Alexander] had a little swelling and I think we drained his knee today. He should be back tomorrow,” Harbaugh said. “Rashod got sent home because he was sick. And he was not happy but we didn’t want him getting everybody else sick.”
According to reports, Jalyn Armour-Davis went down during team drills and did not return. Also absent was rookie cornerback Bilhal Kone. Harbaugh provided updates on both.
“Armour-Davis we’ll find out about,” Harbaugh said. “I don’t think it’s too serious but we’ll find out. He’s going to get an MRI. I think it’s okay. Kone landed on his shoulder yesterday. I expect him to be back very, very soon. It’s just going to kind of be a pain-tolerance thing.”
The player most needing to not miss time will be Armour-Davis, who is fighting an uphill battle to make the Ravens’ 53-man roster. Throughout his career, Armour-Davis has frequently missed time due to injury. In his three years with the Ravens, he’s played 19 games.
