On Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens fell to the New England Patriots, 23-17, marking Baltimore's second loss in the past three games. Not only did the Ravens suffer defeat, but it appears that they have lost tight end Nick Boyle to a potentially season-ending injury after the 27-year old had to be carted off the field following an awkward fall.
A report on the injury was provided on the team's official website:
Nick Boyle was carted off the field in the third quarter Sunday night after suffering a scary-looking leg injury.
After catching a pass from Lamar Jackson, Boyle was tackled low by Patriots linebacker Terez Hall. Boyle's leg bent awkwardly during the tackle, and several Patriots immediately signaled toward the Ravens sideline, waving for medical personnel to attend to Boyle.
Boyle has emerged as one of the top blocking tight ends in the league, and he has established himself as a key player for the Ravens offense this season. Losing him for the rest of the campaign would undoubtedly be a significant blow for Baltimore.
The Ravens came close to defeating the Pats on Sunday, but in the end, they ended up logging their third loss of the season. This was thanks in large part to another efficient performance by Patriots star quarterback Cam Newton, who himself led New England to their second consecutive victory. Newton was on point in this one, scoring on one passing TD, while also logging one rushing touchdown.
As for Baltimore, they should be able to provide a more substantial update on Boyle's status on Monday morning.
