Marcus Peters and Gus Edwards to ACL's.
The Baltimore Ravens suffered not one, but two major injuries at practice on Thursday afternoon, continuing a horrendous string of luck this preseason.
According to multiple reports, the Ravens cut Thursday’s workout short after All-Pro cornerback Marcus Peters and new starting running back Gus Edwards sustained significant knee injuries on back-to-plays. It’s believed that both players suffered torn ACL’s.
Simply put, the news is stunning, given what the team has already been through this summer. Edwards’ injury comes after starting running back J.K. Dobbins suffered a torn ACL in a preseason game and veteran ballcarrier Justice Hill tore his Achilles at practice. Headed into Week 1, the Ravens will be down their three top backfield options.
Although the injury report at cornerback isn’t as concerning in Baltimore, losing Peters will be a huge blow to John Harbaugh’s secondary. The three-time Pro Bowler has been a key defensive back for the Ravens for the past two seasons and was poised for another big year in 2021.
The NFL world could hardly believe that the Ravens lost more key starters ahead of their season opener and took to Twitter to express their disbelief at what happened.
