The Baltimore Ravens emerged as the victors in Sunday’s Week 6 showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers, but they didn’t come away unscathed.
The team saw a few key players leave early with injuries, but only one of them returned for the remainder of the game.
Linebacker Patrick Queen, center Bradley Bozeman, and running back Latavius Murray all exited with injuries with only Queen returning full-time. Bozeman returned temporarily before trotting to the sidelines again shortly after.
Head coach John Harbaugh was asked about the status of both Bozeman and Murray after the game and he indicated that he doesn’t believe either injury is “overly serious,” but that they would wait for official word.
No confirmation has been made as of the time of writing, but it does seem as though both players will be alright moving forward. That’s good news for a Ravens team that’s just starting to get healthy.
The Ravens aren’t concerned about the injuries to Bradley Bozeman and Latavius Murray
Queen was the first of the three to get injured as he hurt his thigh making a tackle in the first quarter. He was initially listed as questionable to return before making his way back onto the field in the second quarter.
Bozeman was rolled up early in the third quarter when Murray ran into his back. The former Alabama standout was attended to by trainers before he jogged off the field under his own power.
Bozeman originally returned for one offensive series before exiting again while Trystan Colon took over as the team’s center.
As for Murray, he appeared to injure his ankle later in the quarter after he was tackled by Chargers linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga on a three-yard run. Murray was examined by trainers before heading to the sideline and later to the locker room.
Losing any of these players for a considerable amount of time would obviously be a sizable blow to a Ravens team that just welcomed back Rashod Bateman, DeShon Elliott, and Tyre Phillips in Week 6.
Given their injuries at running back, linebacker, and along the offensive line, the Ravens could ill-afford to be without any of Murray, Queen, or Bozeman.
Fortunately, it seems as though all three players will be alright following brief injury scares.
