Ravens likely to lose S Elam for season
The Sports Xchange
Baltimore Ravens safety Matt Elam is likely to miss the season after tearing his biceps during a full contact practice on Saturday.
The Ravens are still waiting for full results of an MRI that their 2013 first-round pick either fully or partially tore his biceps, according to the Baltimore Sun.
“I haven’t heard on the MRI yet, but I’m not real optimistic right now,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh told the newspaper Sunday night. “I haven’t heard a final word, but it wasn’t very optimistic talking to the doctors. He was reaching, the receiver ran by him and kind of reached for him and caught him.”
Elam was injured during the first day of full-contact drills. He had two disappointing NFL seasons but impressed coaches during the offseason.
“I’m sure it’s very disappointing for him, and he told me that,” Harbaugh said. “Here’s a guy who came back with a renewed attitude. He had a better approach than he’d had the first two years. He just had grown up a lot. He’s very serious and he was in tremendous shape, and then he gets a fluke injury. That’s disappointing.”
Elam led the Ravens with 16 missed tackles last season. Starting 11 of 16 games last season, he finished with 50 tackles, a half-sack and no interceptions.
