Ravens TE Isaiah Likely expected to miss ‘a few weeks' with a lower leg injury
Coach John Harbaugh said after practice that the 25-year-old Likely rolled his ankle and foot area and would have an MRI on Wednesday.
'It'll be a few weeks,' Harbaugh said. 'It's good that it's just early in camp.'
Likely set career highs last season with 42 receptions for 477 yards and six touchdowns. It was his third season in the NFL.
Baltimore is loaded with depth at the tight end position with three-time Pro Bowler Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar also in the fold. But Likely, who tied for fourth on the team in receptions last season, is an important part of the passing game.
The Ravens open the season at Buffalo on Sept. 7.
