Injuries are unfortunately a part of football, but the Baltimore Ravens took things to a new level when their mascot was injured during a recent preseason game. Now, we know what the prognosis will be for Poe the Raven.
During halftime of last week’s preseason matchup against the Washington Commanders, Poe was participating in a youth football game when he was tackled and came up holding his knee. Medical professionals arrived and carted the giant bird-man off the field.
The NFL world had a field day with the incident. Now, the Ravens themselves appear to be keeping the bit going. On Thursday, head coach John Harbaugh made a special announcement about the unfortunate injury situation for Poe.
