Ravens' Rashod Bateman Expected To Return In September After Surgery
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Ravens rookie wide receiver Rashod Bateman will need surgery after he went down during a drill and limped off the practice field Tuesday.
Head Coach John Harbaugh on Thursday said Bateman will be getting surgery "either tomorrow or Friday" on his groin. Harbaugh said he'd be back from the injury sometime in September.
On Wednesday, Harbaugh said the Bateman sustained a "soft tissue" injury.
It's a blow to the receiving corps, but Harbaugh is staying optimistic.
"I think that's pretty good news," he said.
