Baltimore Ravens LB David Ojabo Injury Could Be Season-Ending
The Baltimore Ravens are enjoying their big 28-3 division win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The team was shorthanded for the second straight game with injuries to several key players on both sides of the ball.
And at least for one of those players - Ravens linebacker David Ojabo - that trend will continue. Ojabo was placed on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury and tweaking his knee against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3.
Unfortunately for Ojabo and the Ravens, those injuries could affect him for the remainder of the season.
“[Ojabo’s] still being evaluated,” Harbaugh said. “There’s some decisions that have to be made that he has to make in terms of how he wants to approach the injury issues he has. I think that’s still private on his concern. So I’ll say just that he’s up in the air on that one, yeah.”
Harbaugh was pressed if "up in the air" meant possibly season-ending, and he responded in the affirmative.
Ojabo's season was cut short last year after suffering a torn Achilles during his Pro Day, so this would be the second consecutive season he didn't finish after being selected in the second round - even with his injury.
The former Michigan Wolverine played just two games and a total of 21 snaps in 2022. If his season is indeed done for 2023, his totals are three games played, one started, two forced fumbles, two sacks, and seven total tackles. He also registered two quarterback hits.
The Ravens take on the Steelers on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET from Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.
