Ravens' Ethan Pocic: Leaves practice with ankle issue
Rotowire
Pocic (ankle) exited Sunday's practice early, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Pocic limped off the field during Sunday's session after suffering an injury to his left ankle. The center had surgery for his left Achilles in December, so any extra strain allocated to the leg may be problematic. The team will likely be very careful with Lamar Jackson's new starting center, and it is unclear how long it will hold him out of practice.
