Running back Mark Ingram left the Baltimore Ravens' win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday early with a calf injury. He would not return.
After the win, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said there is no structural damage and that it wasn't a serious injury, according to the team's official website. He said that it looks like cramping, but the team does not have a definite answer and will know more on Monday.
Ingram will have an MRI on Monday.
Ingram wore a boot on his left foot after the game, according to Josina Anderson of ESPN. He said, “It’s helping me not to push off my foot and put pressure on my calf.”
The Ravens immediately ruled Ingram as questionable after suffering the injury. However, he did not return to action. Instead, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill took the carries throughout the 31-15 win.

The NFL named Ingram a Pro Bowler on Tuesday. Entering Sunday's win, the former Heisman Trophy winner and New Orleans Saint had 194 rush attempts for 963 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Being that the Ravens clinched the AFC's top seed, Baltimore will not have to trot out Ingram next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It will be a meaningless game for the Ravens, meaning that several players may not play. With a first-round bye in-store, Ingram has an extended period to rest.
