The Baltimore Ravens just took an early season gut punch. Rookie wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane suffered a fractured wrist during Sunday’s Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts and is now expected to miss a few weeks of action.
A Rookie’s Season Takes an Immediate Detour
This is brutal news for Lane, who was just getting his feet wet in the NFL. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported the fractured wrist, sidelining the promising young wideout right out of the gate. Talk about a tough break, literally.
Baltimore’s Receiving Corps Faces Early Strain
Losing a wide receiver, especially a rookie you are hoping will develop, for “a few weeks” puts immediate pressure on the rest of the Ravens’ pass catchers.
