The injury happened during a passing play where Kaufusi was engaged in a block with an offensive lineman. As he pushed the blocker into the backfield, a teammate fell into his leg and collapsed the ankle. He was carted off the field.
“You try to avoid that,” Head Coach John Harbaugh said. “You do everything you can to keep players off the ground, but sometimes guys fall. That’s what happened with Bronson.”
Losing a player in training camp is always a tough blow, and it’s particularly difficult for a rookie who had yet to make it [add] to a preseason game. The Ravens had high hopes this year for Kaufusi, who was participating in just his seventh NFL practice after missing the offseason with a back issue.
“He was playing well, but he’s only going to be better next year,” Harbaugh said. “We’ll get him in the weight room. We’ll get him with our coaches, and he’ll be a much better player a year from now than he would have been this year.”

“He went through it two years in a row,” Harbaugh said. “That’s part of the game, that’s part of football, and it happens for a reason in my opinion. You have to look at it that way.
“You have to look at it that it happened for a reason and it’s an opportunity, and then you have to make the most of it.”
